I was 9 years old when I found out my father ...

I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994.but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday. "Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."

AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together any more and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage__

I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people react to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.

I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life .

I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone. Even me, he didn't want to call attention to AIDS.

1.What does Kerrel tell us about her father?

A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill　　 B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.

C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.　　 D. He told no one about his disease.

Mr. Gong was angry when he found out that his 12-year-old child had spent 13, 272 yuan from March 17 to 21 when playing video games on his mobile phone. Gong made a complaint and required the video game company to return all the money. But “it’s up in the air so far.” Gong told Workers’ Daily.

This is not a single case in which children have paid a great deal of money to play online games. The Guangdong Consumer Council ( 消费者委员会) has received more than 10,000 similar complaints from local parents in the first three months of this year.

Because of the increasing number of similar cases, the council talked with many online game companies in the province, strongly suggesting that they should introduce useful methods to protect the consumer rights of children.

In fact, many online companies and mobile apps have provided a youth mode ( 模 式 ), announcing that parents can control the content and limit the time their children spend in using the apps.

However, according to a consumer survey report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council, some of the protection modes of companies such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili and Team Talk are far from useful.

For example, users of all of the above companies can extend watching time by entering a password (密码). Team Talk’s youth mode is no different from the usual mode, which means that children can watch all content. Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou No. 1 High School, shared her experience. She said, “Some apps would only send a notice to check whether the user is 18 years old. The user can simply choose ‘Yes’ and start playing the game. It’s no good.”

According to Guangdong Consumer Council, game companies are being advised to introduce different methods to check who the players are, including fingerprint, password or facial recognition ( 人脸识别) when children pay to play online games.

1.From the underlined sentence “it’s up in the air so far”, we can guess________.

A.the company ran out of money then B.Mr. Gong hasn’t got the money back

C.the company threw the money into the air D.Mr. Gong thanked Workers’ Daily for helping him

2.The council talked to many companies because________.

A.they provided a youth mode for children B.they refused to do what they were told to

C.the number of complaint cases was rising D.Mr. Gong wanted to get all the money back

3.What’s the meaning of the word “extend” in Paragraph 6?

A.Change the way. B.Improve the quality.

C.Make something longer. D.Cut something shorter.

4.What is the purpose of giving the example of Wang Yihan in Paragraph 6?

A.To explain how youth mode works. B.To warn people not to use youth mode.

C.To teach people how to play games better. D.To show that youth mode needs improving.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.A Father Angry with Video Games B.Famous Video Game Companies

C.Disadvantages of Online Video Games D.Stricter Rules Needed for Online Games
