Phil Donahue,the former television talk show host,had something of a reputation for giving clergy a hard time,and he has said the reason he's that way is that he has little respect for them.Most clergy will do anything for some media attention,he says.In his autobiography ,however, he tells about an encounter with a minister who was different.It happened while Donahue was a young television reporter in Ohio,and one day he was sent to West Virginia in the bitter cold winter to cover a mine disaster.He went by himself in a battered little car, carrying a mini camera to film the story. It was so cold when he got there,however, the camera wouldn't work.So he put it inside his coat to warm it up enough to run.In the meantime,the families of the trapped miners were gathered around.The),were just simple mining people--women,old men,and children.Several of the trapped men were fathers. Then the local minister arrived.He was tall and thin,and he didn't speak well at a11.But he gathered all the families around in a circle,and the held one another in their arms while he prayed for them. As this was going on,Donahue was still trying to get his camera to work,and he was extremely disappointed because he couldn't film the scene.Finally,after the prayer was over,Donahue managed to get his camera operating.So he told the minister he had his camera working now and asked if the minister would please do the prayer again so he could film it for the evening news. This simple West Virginia preacher, however,told Donahue,"Young man,we don't pray for the news.I'm sorry,but we've already prayed,and I will not pose." To this day,Donahue remembers that minister with respect.You don't forget that kind of character,no matter who you are or what you believe. What did the minister refuse to do? A) To pray for the accident. B) To make up the news. C) To cooperate with the reporter. D) To pray for the trapped miners on TV

(Question)
China is a country with a large number of disabled  persons. Almost 60 million people have vision, hearing, speech, limb, intellectual or mental disabilities. There is one disabled person in every 20 Chinese, and one out of every five households on average has a disabled family member. According to nationwide surveys of the disabled children under 14 account for 16 percent of the total disabled population, and they display the greatest need for rehabilitative training as they display the highest recovery rates after early treatment. Those disabled between the ages of 15 and 59 account for 44 percent, but often their disabilities are not very serious. Although they are more or less able to work, they require vocational training, cultural education and special employment. The disabled over 60 years of age account for 40 percent. Many of them become disabled due to illness or loss of various functions. Some live alone without any income, and therefore their insurance, rehabilitation, and medical needs have become a social issue. The illiterate and semi-illiterate  suffer from limited employment opportunities, and often they become socially disabled as well. These people, often neglected , pose another social problem. The disabled people who are most likely to recover after an early treatment are_. A) the children under 14 B) those between 15 and 59 C) the people over 60 D) the people between the age of 16 and 44

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have given $500,000 to help the town of Joplin --a town near the Mississippi River, where Pitt's mother went to school recover from a huge tornado  that struck on May 22, 2011. The couple made the donation through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation on Thursday to help rebuild the town of Joplin after about 30% of the buildings were destroyed by the tornado. Over 150 people were killed. "The Joplin community faces great challenges ahead," said Brad. "Having spent most of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient. "The locally based Community Foundation of the Ozarks will be working shoulder to shoulder with these Joplin citizens for long to rebuild their lives. We, too, hope to further help with these rebuilding efforts." "Last year 42 million people worldwide were hurt by natural disasters," added Angelina. "So often, these disasters seem far away; but now, the need is right here at home for thousands of people. Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much." The Community Foundation of the Ozarks was founded in 1973 and has since grown to include 43 branch community foundations. The Foundation's task is to improve the quality of life in the Missouri Ozarks area through resource development, community grant making, working together, and public leadership. "We had a call in the first day or two afterward from an organization representing them," said Brian Fogle, president of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
