阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment (预约) into the outer      of Harvard’s president. But they were     by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,     that the couple would finally bee     and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though    .
A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a     face. The lady told him, “We had a son that      Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was      here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to      a memorial (纪念物) to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t        . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this      would look like a cemetery (墓地).” “Oh, no,” the lady     quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a     to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and       at the couple and then exclaimed(呼喊), “A building! Do you have any       how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was    , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a      ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Since their offer was    , Mr and Mrs Stanford traveled to California     they founded the University that bears their      , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
