B

It was shortly after her daughter was born in 2005 that Deng Zhixin gave birth to an idea to help children who had been abandoned(抛弃)by their parents.

While exchanging ideas online with a group of new moms on how to take care of children, Deng came across stories of children born with diseases being left by their parents on the street or in hospitals.

“My original intention was to find medical aid for those kids, and give them the love they deserve as much as other children, ”said Deng, 41.

With a group of mothers in Beijing in 2007, Deng cofounded(共同创立)Angel Mom, an organization that helps poor orphans who might die without receiving timely medical treatment.

Angel Mom collects funds from wealthy people to provide medical help for the disabled children and finds adoptive parents for them.

“We concentrated on seeking financial support for their operations and finding them a family capable of and truly willing to adopt them, ”she said.

Weeks ago, Deng quit her job for the third time in three years. Before she quit, she was the Chief Financial Operator in a company with an annual salary of more than 500, 000 yuan.

“I couldn’t handle the heavy work while taking care of the children at the same time, ”Deng said.

Angel Mom now maintains cooperation with more than 15 hospitals across the country.

As soon as a child arrives, Deng and her partners immediately start seeking financial help from wealthy people through personal relationships or accept assistance from certain charities(慈善机构), such as Smile Angel Foundation, founded in 2006 by Chinese singer Faye Wong and her husband Li Yapeng  to help children with cleft lips.

“It usually takes days or even weeks to find someone who would like to donate(捐赠)a sufficient amount if the child’s illness doesn’t meet the charity funds’ requirements, ” Deng said, adding that six children have passed away, some due to lack of timely medication.

“For me, those children mean responsibility. Sometimes I wish I could let them go but they are already part of my life, ”Deng continued, “I chose a special life, but I don’t think I’m special. ”

55. Which of the following can best describe Deng Zhixin?

A. Kind-hearted, stubborn, changeable.

B. Responsible, kind-hearted, helpful.

C. Helpful, lovable, intelligent.

D. Special, wealthy, diligent. xkb1
