One Christmas Eve a few years ago, an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a twenty-second call but it was very important. It was their fifteen-year-old daughter, who had disappeared six months before, that rang them. "I'm phoning to wish you Merry Christmas," she said, "I love you."

Ronal and Edwina Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called "Alive and Well". The service helps parents to keep in contact with children who have run away from home.

Young people can phone "Alive and Well" and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through "Alive and Well" they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving their address.

The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape-recorded telephone messages and contact the address given. Many of the 30, 000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and stop a parent's worry: Is he dead or alive?

68. At "Alive and Well" the phones are answered by ________ .

A. the Haydens

B. a group of helpers

C. helpful teenagers

D. an automatic system

69. If you ring " Alive and Well ", your message will be ________ first.

A. recorded

B. typed out

C. broadcast

D. copied automatically

70. What does "disappeared" mean in the passage?

A. died
