Give a child back their future with surgery that costs as little as $ 250!
Every year, more than 170,000 children in developing countries are born with disiguring clefts (裂缝). With your donation, every child born with a cleft anywhere in the world has the opportunity to live a full, productive life.
Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are still millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Some children even aren?t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And they face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache. Their clefts usually go untreated because they are poor — too poor to pay a simple surgery that has been around for decades. It isn?t a technical problem but an economic one.
The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $ 250 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
Simile Train
The world?s largest cleft charity where a simple 45 minute surgery that costs as little as $ 250, can change a child?s life FOREVER!
Smile Train：
—Provide free cleft surgery to hundreds of thousands of poor children in developing countries.
—Train doctors and medical professionals in 87 developing countries.
—Treat the “whole child” with comprehensive, total rehabilitative (康复) care in developing countries, including：speech therapy, general dentistry and orthodontics.
Unlike many charities that do many different things, Smile Train’s mission is focused on solving a single problem：cleft lip and cleft palate (腭裂)．
Our mission is to provide a child born with a cleft the same opportunities in life as a child born without a cleft. We want our mission to be yours.

(2015·苏州市高三调研测试)One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now
is no doubt tuhao, a sarcastic, lighthearted term referring to rich people of little education, bad taste or lacking selfawareness.
This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning. The term, which literally means “country bully”， has been around since ancient times, when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural landlords.
However, the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was adapted a few
years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game “World of Warcraft” to refer to rich players who spend big money buying powerful virtual weapons. Because they don’t improve their skills by playing, these players are considered silly, uncultured, and unprofessional.
But that is not the end of tuhao’s new life story. The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with (同时发生) the emergence (出现) of the Chinese “nouveau riche” — a generation of businessmen and women, property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly accumulated large amounts of wealth in recent years.
Similar to the many ragstoriches stories in human history, many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from welleducated or prestigious (声望很高的) backgrounds. Rather, they achieved financial success through powerful connections, smart investments, and by riding out China’s economic boom. Many of them don’t shy away from throwing their money around, yet we are often reminded of their lack of manners, taste and cultural sensitivity.
As a result, a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation.
Trend, young Internet users, who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao — not wealthy，but welleducated and cultured — have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations. For example, the phrase “let’s be friends, tuhao，” became hot after it appeared in an online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk.
When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September, Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the great popularity of the new goldencolored models among Chinese consumers, and named it “Tuhao Gold”， to make fun of the taste of rich Chinese people.
“Tuhao” — a latest buzzword in China
(1)____in meaning In (2)______times “Country bully”，(3)________ to rich and powerful landlords who oppressed others
In the (4)________
world Rich but unprofessional players，meaning players who would rather buy powerful (5)________ weapons than improve skills by playing
Recently in daily (6)________ Tasteless “nouveau riche”，indicating those rich people who have benefited from the (7)________economy of China but are (8)________ of their lack of manners，taste and cultural sensitivity
(9)________of its application “Lets be friends，tuhao.” An online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk
“Tuhao Gold” A term intended to
(10)________ the taste of rich Chinese people

1．A “Their clefts usually go untreated because they are poor — too poor to pay for a simple surgery ...”可知，这些患儿没有得到治疗的原因是他们家太穷，付不起廉价的手术费用。
2．选C 细节理解题。根据“Give a child back their future with surgery that costs as little as $ 250！”可知，一台修补手术只需要250美元，故1 000美元的捐款可为4个孩子做修补手术。
