阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B,C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

Jimmy is 12. He is a student in Class 2, Grade 7. Ms. Miller is his English teacher and Jim thinks she is very kind. But Ms. Miller always asks Jimmy to answer questions in class. This morning, Ms. Miller asks Jimmy to answer questions three times (次数). Jimmy doesn't like English and he isn't good at it. He doesn't want to answer English questions.

"How can I let Ms. Miller ask other students to answer her questions?" Jimmy thinks and then he has a good idea.

This afternoon, he has an English class again. Ms. Miller wants a student to read the book. She says, "Jimmy, please read the book for us."

"Jimmy is not here," Jimmy says.

"OK. Well, can you read it instead (代替)?" says Ms. Miller.
