题目

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。 Joseph Sekar is a 62-year-oId man in India. He feeds thousands of parrots every day. And he has earned himself the nickname "birdman". Joseph always left small amounts of rice on his roof. The neighbor sparrows and squirrels often came to eat them. One day two parrots flew in and fed themselves some rice. The birds not only returned the following day, but also brought along other hungry friends. Today about 2,000 to 4,000 beautiful parrots visit the birdman twice a day! Joseph does not feed the birds raw rice. He cooks them! This means that the amazing man gets up at 4:30 a.m. every morning and spends over an hour making the breakfast. He then spreads the rice across 14 wooden planks（厚木板）on his roof. The breakfast rush begins at about 6:00 a.m. when the beautiful parrots fly in and continues until every last grain of the delicious rice is gone! The action is repeated in the afternoon when the birds arrive around 4:00 p.m. and stay for almost two hours. Besides feeding them, the superhero also takes in sick or injured birds and nurses them back to health. Of course, feeding so many birds is not a cheap job. Joseph, a camera repairman, now spends 40% of his income feeding the birds. The generous man says all of his actions come of a sense of love. Though Joseph has not any plans to stop it now, he does worry about what will happen to the beautiful birds as he gets older and is unable to continue. （1） At first, Joseph left some rice on his roof for ______.
