阅读下面短文, 从所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
A
I looked around the ship, and then, I found some long pieces of wood. I made a raft by tying them together with rope. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship. There wa
s a big box of food. I also took many strong knives and other tools, the ship's sails and seven guns.
There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself little house on one of them After a time, I found a little cave in the side of a hill. In front of it, there was a good place to make a home. After a lot of hard work I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my tent was a good place to keep my food, and so I called it my "kitchen". The next day I thought about the possible dangers on the island. So I decided to build a very strong fence（篱笆）. Making tents and building fences is hard work. I needed many tools to help me. So I decided to go back to the shin again, and get some more things.
I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit there was another terrible storm.
The next morning, when I looked out to sea, there was no ship.
When I saw that, I was very despairing. "Why am I alive, and why are all my friends dead?" I asked myself. "What will happen to me now, alone on this island without friends? How can I ever escape from it?""
