C
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.

本题属于推论题，根据以上解题思路可知，从因为封面上的狗想起自己的狗，到看到结尾时想象自己和爱犬重聚，说明作者“identify with” 把自己和书中故事联系在了一起，所以答案选B。

本题属于细节题，根据以上解题思路可知，最后一段提到获得文学博士学位，创作了书籍、文章、诗歌、小说。其他三个选项要么没有提到，要么明显和原文不符，所以答案选A。
事实细节题。根据文章最后一段And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction可知几年后，作者的母亲为作者读了好几千本书而自豪，作者本身也活的了文学博士学位，并创作了许多书籍、文章、诗歌、小说。

本题属于主旨大意题，文中提到书籍incredibly wonderful，结尾再次强调power of words文字的力量，所以答案选A。
