Twelve years ago, my mother gave birth to the beautiful little girl.   36  , we were later given the   37  that this little girl, who was three and a half month old, would only have 14 days on earth. It’s hard to understand what kind of  38  you have when you find out that you’re  39  something that you don’t even know.

As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us   40 . When the doctors said that we could take her home, that was   41  reality hit. We had no   42  .

I’m from a small town with small hospitals, but when you don’t have money, you just don’t  43 it. My mother tried for days to get money, but nothing  44  each time. A caseworker (社會工作者) was even doing her best. It’s  45  that it almost felt as if we had to  46  a baby from the hospital.

One day the caseworker walked into her boss’s office to  47 again. As she walked out, 48 down yet again, out of no where a man walked up to her. He  49 her a handful of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in  50 , so she can take her daughter home.” She looked down at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked back up to thank him, he was 51  . They searched all over the hospital and he was nowhere to be  52  .

Thanks to the guy that I will  53  know, we could take home that   54 baby girl that was only given 14 days to live, and celebrated her 12th birthday yesterday. I am grateful to this man and feel that his act of  55 should be shared with everyone.

The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.

A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
【小題1】What is the best title of the text?

A.The guide of Admongo
B.An education website for children
C.A popular online video game
D.A website aimed at children
【小題2】Why did the government start the website?
A.To attract the biggest market of buyers.
B.To sell the products of its company.
C.To help children know about advertising.
D.To advertise the video game for children.
【小題3】What can players do in the website game?
A.Choose hair styles for their character.
B.Travel to a supermarket.
C.Eat in a fast-food restaurant.
D.Play video games during the trip.
【小題4】Children are important for advertising because they are        .
A.important for the society
B.the most potential buyers
C.easily influenced by ads
D.easily affected by poor products
【小題5】According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are ________.
A.healthyB.of high nutrition
C.yummyD.of low quality
