问题 There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he earned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy did not lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. " As William Arthur Ward once said, "It is wise to direct your anger towards problems—not people; to focus your energies on answers—not excuses. "
Underlined expression________dwindled down means________.

选项 A、become gradually smaller
B、become gradually larger
C、stay the same as before
D、get more and more

答案A

解析根据文章第四句…Over the next few weeks, as he earned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. ”可知，几周后，作者已经能够控制脾气，钉进栅栏的钉子数量逐渐变小。由此可以猜测画线短语的意思是减少、变小。故本题选A。
