One day, A good woman said something that hurt her best friend of many years. She regretted it immediately and wanted to do something to take the words back. To undo (撤銷) what she had done, she went to an old, wise woman in the village, explained her situation and asked for advice.

The older woman understood the younger woman’s pain. She knew she could never alleviate the pain, but she could teach her. She said, “Tonight, take your best feather pillow and put single feather on the doorstep of each house in the town before the sun rises.”

The young woman hurried home to prepare for them, even though the feather pillows were very dear to her. All night long, she was busy alone in the cold. Finally she placed the last feather on the step of the last house before daybreak. Just as the sun rose, she returned to the older woman.

“ Now,” said the wise woman, “Go back and refill ( 回 填 ) your pillows with feathers you have put on the steps, and then everything will be as it was before.” “You know that’s impossible! The wind blew away each feather as soon as I placed them on the doorsteps!” the young woman was surprised.

“That’s true,” said the older woman. “Never forget. Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt ( 發(fā) 自 內(nèi) 心 的 ) or sincere, can never return them to your mouth. Choose your words wisely and treasure the people you love.”

1.The woman went to visit the older woman in the village .

A. to have a chat with her B. to undo what she had done

C. to give her something D. to borrow something from her

2.The underlined word “alleviate” here probably means .
