As a little boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather's farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stonewalls, the house and farm provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.

I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I'd wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stonewalls surrounding the farm. My parents would never agree. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling into pieces. Still, my wish to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I summoned (鼓起) all my courage and entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.

"I, uh, I want to climb the stonewalls," I said hesitantly. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stone walls?" Immediately a chorus went up from the women in the room. "Heavens, no!" they cried, "You'll hurt yourself!" I wasn't too disappointed; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. "Now hold on just a minute," I heard him say, "Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.'

"Go," he said to me, "and come and see me when you get back. ' For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I'll never forget what he said. "Fred," he said, smiling widely, "you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember: there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you as you are."

Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers'

Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit.

"There's only one person in this whole world like you," the kids can count on hearing my say, "and people can like you as you are."

C. Fred was sure that his parents would agree with his climbing the stonewalls.

B. Because his parents were very strict with him.

C. Because his family thought it was dangerous to climb the stonewalls.

D. Because his grandpa didn't like him going out.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The TV program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is popular with children in America.

B. Fred's grandpa wanted Fred to be a host of the TV program.

C. There's only one person in this whole world that likes Fred as he is.
