阅读下列短文,从题中所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Fifteen minutes to kick - off. The streets around the stadium are empty for policemen standing on corners, watching for trouble. The fans are all inside. A police helicopter passes low overhead.
My friend is a Wolveshampton Wanderers fan. I support the home team, Brighton. It is my local team. But there is no neutral place to standwe must watch the match among my people or his. “Let's go in with the Wolves,” I say, conceding he is my guest, “Thanks,” he says. “I appreciate it.”
By standing together, though, we are breaking the rules. All the entrances to the stadium are marked either “Home Supporters Only” or “Away Supporters Only”. Each entrance is guarded by a small group of policemen. We walk along the side of the stadium, looking for a viable turnstile. The police question us as we walk past. “You're Wolves, are you?” they say. “Right. Along there,” I nod, having to lie.
Now we are inside the Wolveshampton enclosure, penned into a section of the stadium by thick wire fences.
It is impossible for me to show any sign that I support my own team. In fact, to pass muster (过得去) I must demonstrate the opposite. When a cheer starts, I must join in, punching the air. When a refereeing decision, even a fair one, goes against Wolveshampton, I must appear angry.
Halfway through the second half, Wolves take the lead. A good move wrongfoots the defence, leaving Andy Mutch with an open shot at goal. He scores. My heart sinks; my team are down. The men I am jammed against leap into the air, screaming as loudly as they can, punching the air, turning and pushing each other. I must follow them. I scream and shout. Someone has his arm around me; someone else is shaking his fist in my faces. his mouth half open, crying.

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100~150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

D.Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.

C.About one third D.Most of it
