题目

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 It's "Baby Day" at the Riverpark seniors home in Ottawa—a twice monthly event Eulah Johnson, 90, never misses."I really enjoy it. It's a shift from the regular routine," says the retired nurse. Today, Johnson sits on a sofa and looks at a laughing child on the seat of her walker. A few moments later, the girl skips off to play with the dozen or so other small children and babies mixed with 20 of Johnson's fellow residents. Some, like 12-month-old Owen, are regular visitors to Ottawa seniors' homes. "We've been doing this since he was three months old," says his mother, Allison Rodgers, 33. She loves the social calls, too. "I didn't have grandparents while growing up. It's nice to spend time with older people, and it feels good to know they re betting so much out of it." Babies Who Volunteer, the initiative (倡议) bringing these generations together, is the inspired idea of Jessica Turner, a former educational assistant. The idea came about during a March 2018 visit with her 22-month-old daughter Amelia to a friend's mother, who was living in a long-term-care unit. She was most surprised by the response of her friend's mother; she hadn't spoken in two years, but with Amelia in her lap, she began singing. Turner went home and immediately put out a call on a mums' Facebook group: Would anyone be interested in dropping by seniors' residences with their babies? A year later, there are now 1,500 volunteers, and the organization visits 39 homes in Ottawa. Everyone benefits from intergenerational programmes, she says. "This playgroup is good for the mothers, too. They're giving something to the community, which provides a sense of purpose and belonging. It can really help someone who is feeling lonely." （1） What's the event Eulah never misses at the seniors home? A . A visit with his children. B . Baby Day performances. C . Children's regular visit.
