阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 (A) On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Haydens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. “I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I Love you.” Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”. The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home. Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses. The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape-recorded telephone message and connect the addresses given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and stop the parents’ worry: Is he dead or alive? 1. The underlined word “disappeared” in the passage means ____________. A. lost her life B. run away from home C. lost her way D. come home late 2. The Haydens’ daughter rang ________. A. only to give them a message B. in order to give them her address C. so as to say she was coming home D. so that they wouldn’t worry about her 3.
