B

“It’s alive” I say, mostly to myself, but also to my sister, Kirsten, who stands behind me. My arms are wrapped around The Elephant, an olive tree which is said to be more than 3,000 years old - one of the oldest in Puglia, Italy. I couldn’t be happier. Kirsten puts her hand on my shoulder and I turn, wiping away tears, and laugh.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen The Elephant up close. My sister, my mom and I came to Masseria Brancati, the small family farm that’s home to this tree and hundreds of other olive trees, seven years ago. Kirsten and I have returned now, at my request, to learn how the trees have been , which in the past few years have been faced with a disease, X fastidiosa.

I became aware of the poor conditions of Puglia’s olive trees in the summer of 2018; the news came at a hard time for our family. After we returned from our first visit, we were surprised to learn Mom had a stress fracture (应力性骨折) in her foot. As a result, she was finally wheel-chaired. In the fall of 2017, she was diagnosed (确诊) with a rare disease called progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Like X. fastidiosa, it’s a killer that has no known cure (治愈方法).

Now, the good news is that olive trees have hope. Certain varieties are lucky dogs, proving healthy even when exposed to X. fastidiosa. Scientists are grafting (嫁接) branches from these trees to the remaining uninfected (未受感染的) ones. The hope is that they can mix and prevent the further spread of death. My family has hope, too. The U. S. National Institutes of Health recently provided a major fund to conduct research on PSP.

Before Kirsten and I leave Masseria Brancati, we return to The Elephant to say goodbye. I reach up and gently touch The Elephant one last time. I silently beg. All we can do is hope - if not for forever living, then at least for future generations who will be able to continue the traditions established in the past.

9. Why did the author visit The Elephant seven years later?

A. To help her mother find the cure.

B. To test a treatment on it.

C. To recall her old memories.
