(单选题)

Why did Wild Bill Hickok shoot holes in a hat?

A.He was pursuing two outlaws.

B.He didn’t like hat.

C.He was trying to kill the man wearing the hat.

D.He wanted to prove that he could do it.

参考答案：D

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“On another occasion, after boasting that he could shoot more than one hole in a hat that had been thrown in the air, he shot a row of evenly-spaced holes along the edge of the brim before the hat hit the ground”可知，还有一次，他夸口说他能在一顶被抛向空中的帽子上打出不止一个洞，然后在帽子落地之前，沿着帽沿边缘打出了一排均匀分布的洞。由此判断，他之所以这样做是为了证明他能够做到。故选D。
