阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
Many people want to offer help in a natural disaster by donating money, transporting supplies, giving blood, or offering physical assistance. Unfortunately, there are times when kind-hearted people disturb more than they help in a natural disaster. An untrained individual may end up becoming another person in need of rescue.
If you decide to be a volunteer during a natural disaster, be sure you coordinate(使协调) with trained rescuers so that your assistance can be effectively made use of. You may be able to offer transportation to survivors that are not seriously injured, or you may be able to help bring in necessities; however, you should never decide by yourself what needs to be done.
Giving donations is often the best way to help in a natural disaster. Just make sure that your donation goes to a reliable organization. That means the organization will spend the largest percentage of its donations on direct assistance to victims of the natural disaster; _________. After a natural disaster, dishonest “charities” often show up trying to collect money. If you are donating to help during a natural disaster, look for a well-recognized, well-respected name, or do some research before giving. If you would like to check out different charities, a good place to start is the Better Business Bureau.
If you would rather donate food, clothing, or other supplies, make sure such items are sent to the proper location where they can be effectively sorted and distributed to those in need.
Just know that any effort you make to help, no matter how large or how small, will be appreciated.

“Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed(叹息), knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried to his mum “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”
He grew up, handsome. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared.
Later he married and became a lawyer. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”
The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket棺材. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”
1.Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?
A. Because her son had a tiny face. B. Because she saw her son crying.
C. Because her son was born imperfect. D. Because her son was in her arms.
2.Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?
A. Nervous. B. Sympathetic. C. Proud. D. Angry.

A, the mother felt sorry for the son without ears B. the doctor didn’t like the baby

Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备).
The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate (不充足的) water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition (前提) for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.
Consider these facts:
The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.
Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.
Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-born diseases.
Here are three ways you can help:
(1) Write Congress
Current US foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.
(2) Donate to a project with a faith-based organizations
Many US religious groups already donate to water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply a single project by a US organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.
(3) Support nonprofit water organizations
Many US-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects on drinking water and sanitation. Some organizations are large, others small, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.
