阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Joseph sat on a hill in the middle of nowhere, writing his name into the dirt with a stick.

“Joseph!” his mother called. Joseph looked at the farmhouse that was now supposed to be his home. As he finished the last 35 , he noticed something metal shining in the rosy late-afternoon sunlight. He picked it up: a rusty old 36 . He put it in his pocket and walked down the hill.

Grandpa passed away last year, leaving the house and farm to his mother. Joseph had hoped that she would just 37 it and buy a house in the city. However, she chose to move to the farm. Joseph had been very 38 about leaving his friends and his school.

Joseph sat down beside her and handed the rusty key to her.

Suddenly his mother’s eyes sparkled. With trembling hands, she wound up (转动) the music box. As its sweet melody played, mother and son listened together.

“It has been silent for a long, long time,” she said.

“It’s so clear!” said Joseph. “It sounds as good as new.” The silence had been 46 .
