第三部分:阅读理解（共20小题：每小题两分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

　　For children with cancer, the facts of life include the facts of death. There is always the fear they might not live to grow up, yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight. And sometimes, they win. It may take years. It certainly takes support from parents and doctors.

Unfortunately, many parents can't deal with their child's illness. And doctors no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like this, the Children's Cancer Foundation (formerly the Children's Cancer Fund) can help. We're a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists, parents of children with cancer and concerned persons. All of us are volunteers. We're with the children every day, listening to and encouraging them. We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our fund has brought better equipment to the wards, and paid for special flats where children can recover in a hygienic(卫生的)，yet cheerful home setting.

We want to do even more. But to do it, we need your support. It will be money well spent. One looks at our past achievements should prove that. To the children, your contribution will also be a show of support. A sign that you're behind them, which is just the sort of news that a six-year-old child with cancer needs to hear.
