Two young men, one was a prisoner while the other was a famous official from the White House, both told a story about how their mothers give apples to them.
The story from the prisoner:
When I was young, one day my mother brought several apples, among which there was a biggest red one that I really wanted to get. My mum put all the apples on the table and asked us, “Which do you like?” I was about to say “the biggest one” while my brother took one step ahead and said what I wanted to say. My mum said angrily, “A good child should give the best to others instead of being self-centered.” I learnt a quick lesson and said, “Mum, give me the smallest one. The biggest one should be left for my brother!” Hearing my words, she felt more than happy and gave the biggest apple to me as a reward.
I told a lie but I got what I wanted! Since then, I learnt to lie. Later, I learnt to fight, steal and rob. I would try all means to get what I wanted. Then later I was put behind bars.
The story from the White House:
When I was young, one day my mum brought several apples of different colors and sizes. Both my two younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. My mum picked up the biggest apple and said, “It is good to get the biggest apple. Now let’s start a competition. I will divide the lawn (草坪)in front of our house into three parts, one for each. Who could do the job best and fastest would be rewarded with the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.

Two men walked slowly, one after the other. All they could see were stones and earth. They had bags on their backs, but no food. They had guns, but no bullets.
Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and cried: "Bill. I've hurt my foot. Help me! "Bill continued straight on without looking back.
The man was alone in the empty land. His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger. He had not eaten for many days and could hardly move his feet. Bill would be going to find the right way for them, he thought. He crawled about, on hands and knees: As he moved on, the bag became heavier and heavier. He opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left the gold on a stone. In the evening, he built a fire and slept like a dead man.
Eleven days passed, days of rain and cold. One morning, he woke up and heard a noise behind him. Wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. He rose to his feet and moved forward, knowing well the sick wolf was following him. Later, he found some bones . Beside the bones was a small bag of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold to the end. He looked at the bones. Would he, too, be bones tomorrow? And why not? This was life. Then why was he not ready to die? It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on.
The man had lost everything-his gun, and his gold. Only the wolf accompanied him. At last he could go on no further. He fell. The wolf came close to him, but the man was ready. He got on top of the wolf and held its mouth closed. Then he bit it with his last strength . He held the wolf with his teeth and killed it, and then he fell on his back and fell asleep.
Later that day, the people on a ship saw something strange lying on the beach. It was moving toward them very slowly-perhaps twenty feet an hour. They took a careful look and could hardly believe their eyes-it was a man!
1.When the man cried for help, Bill continued straight on because

C.he saw a sick wolf coming to them D.he went to find the right way for them
2.What does the underlined word "accompany" probably mean in the passage?
A.Stay with B.Fight with.. C.Care for D.Worry about.

A.Bill stole some gold from the man on the way
B.The man found some bones of a wolf in the land
