四、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A young college student thought that he chose the wrong major (专业) at a common college, so he drank every day and didn’t study at all. He became more and more frustrated (挫败的).
But he was never absent from Professor Yang’s Biology class. He liked the course. Also, Yang’s class was so interesting that he always listened carefully, never caring about whether the other students were paying attention or not in class. Once he put a note in the homework he handed in, saying, “Professor, it is said that today’s college students are cheaper than potatoes. Do you agree?”
That day Professor Yang sent for him after class. When he came, he found the professor at a table with a plate of food. They drank happily with their meal.
When they became half drunk, the professor took out a small potato that was sprouting (发芽的). “Do you know how much this costs?” he asked the young man. “It’s soft but poisonous (有毒的). Nobody will take it even if it’s free.” He then threw the potato away. The professor then showed him another potato. It was half the size of a football and perfectly round. “This potato is organic (有机的). It is not only large and fresh but also free of pollution. It is in great need and quite expensive.”
The young man was impressed by what he’d heard. “Be such a potato,” said the professor.
( ) 1. Professor Yang showed the student two different potatoes to tell him that ______.
A. potatoes were not cheap at all
B. some soft potatoes were poisonous
C. organic potatoes could be polluted

A. the student would grow many organic potatoes
B. the student would study Biology harder and harder
C. the student would try to better himself

( ) 3. The writer wants to tell us that ______.
