每一个人都在吗？——不，爸爸正在院子里擦洗小汽车。

A.cleans擦洗，第三人称单数；B.cleaned擦洗，过去式；C.is cleaning擦洗，现在进行时；D.was cleaning擦洗，过去进行时。

根据上文表达的意思到了吃饭的时间了。

每一个人都在吗？可知，下文应该表达为不，爸爸正在院子里擦洗小汽车。

因此此空需要现在进行时，现在进行时的构成是be+动词的现在分词，主语Daddy是第三人称单数，be动词用is，clean的现在分词是cleaning。

故选C。

故选：B．

Dear Maria,
How are you? My life has changed a lot since I became a student of Grade 9. I used to have less homework and I could learn easily. However, everything is different now. I have a lot of homework to do every day. I'm under great pressure. I used to take part in all kinds of activities after school, but now I have to study all the time and sometimes even stay up late. I have given up my hobbies. What's more, I used to spend the weekends with my family and
friends. Now I have to take classes on weekends. I feel so unhappy. Do you feel the same?
Yours,
Liu Mei。
