阅读理解

Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped (残疾)because she has brain damage. She could not do even the simplest thing until a year ago. She could not comb(梳理)her hair or feed her self. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like a baby.

   Mr. Ching has a daughter and a son. They live far from their father. Mr. Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He decided to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa.

   Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth, but foster grandparents love the children they care for. They love them just as natural grandparents love their grandchildren

   The foster grandparents also help the handicapped children in special ways. They help to dress and feed the children. They help to dress and feed the children. They read to them and tell them stories. They also help with handicapped children’s therapy. Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder. It helps the children overcome their handicaps.

   Mr. Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr. Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her every day. Gradually, she began to trust him.

   At last Lisa let Mr. Ching do things for her. He came at lunchtime and fed her. One day he handed the spoon(匙子)and guided it to her mouth. He told her she must learn to feed herself.

   “Most of that lunch ended up on us instead of in Lisa’s mouth,” Mr. Ching remembers. “But it was a start for Lisa. She learned to feed herself in a few months.”

   Then Lisa was ready for more therapy, thanks to Mr. Ching. She had learned to do one simple thing. She could learn to do other simple things. Mr. Ching was trained to help with Lisa’s therapy.

   To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They must be willing to give their time to handicapped children. They are volunteers(志愿者)，so they are not paid. They are given money for expenses such as transportation.

   Mr. Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says, “We all benefit (受益). The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful lives. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, there’s no greater happiness than that!”

At first, Lisa was shy. 根据这句可知，本题选A。
