Question

    It was a cold morning, just right to relax in the sun.

“Madam!” There was a strange shout. I hurried to ______ what was happening and Ramu, my housekeeper, pointed to a(n) ____ wild pig that was eating corns in my field.

“You _______ the door,” he said to me. “I’ll bag it.”

So I stood bravely, hoping that I could stop this wild pig from running away. In one quick move the wild pig was trapped by Ramu. I really wanted to kill this ugly animal.

____, Ramu didn’t have the same thought. He caught the wild pig’s body and used a rope to tie it up, like putting a leash (牵狗绳) on a dog. ____ must have shown on my face. “I cannot kill the pig, madam. I’ll leave it in the woods.”

_____ I could say anything, he had freed the pig. Then he walked it out of the field. “Wait!” I screamed, “It’s just going to come back.”

Ramu turned back to me. “If the pig comes back, we’ll catch it again, madam.”

I watched, _______ to think clearly. It was a sight I’d never seen, a pig ______ following a man. It was funny, wasn’t it?

When I calmed down, I watched over the fence to make sure they were really going to the woods. Suddenly, Ramu stopped and talked to a boy on a bicycle. The two nodded and exchanged smiles. Then, to my surprise, Ramu handed over the ______ to the boy. I was even more surprised to see the pig began to keep up with the boy on the bike as they ______ into the woods.

When I retell this story, I often think of Ramu. He, more than many of us, I believe, truly understood the value of life.

properly正确地；peacefully平静地；wildly野蛮地；wonderfully精彩地。根据句意表示作者从来没有见过一头野猪能够平静地跟随在一个人后面，而不是挣扎地，粗鲁地。故选B。
