Recently George and I hosted a special preview of Precious in our hometown, Houston. The【C1】______of 200 included young people and old, teachers and corporate executives, parents and grandparents, and folks of just about every ethnic and economic【C2】______. I planned to say a few words when the movie was over【C3】______I was speechless.
Precious is the story of an【C4】______African-American teenager growing up in poverty in the 1980s. The abuse—sexual, physical, mental—this young woman【C5】______at the hands of her parents is difficult to watch; there are times when her hopelessness is【C6】______. But what saves her from a life of【C7】______is a teacher who helps her learn to read and write.

Each day we walk by them: young boys and girls whose home lives are dark secrets. They are often abused or neglected, and【C11】______read to or given homework help.【C12】______the skills they need to lead a productive life, the【C13】______are good they will continue the【C14】______of poverty and illiteracy.

I’m proud that the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy has given out 773 literacy【C19】______in 50 states and the District of Columbia. We give them to programs whose goal is to teach both parents and children to read. This is happening in schools, prisons, workplaces, and communities. The programs all have the same goal: read, read, read. We’ve made progress, but Precious is a new【C20】______to action.

A、impart
B、promote
C、surge
D、sponsor
答案
B
解析
