Steven Weinberg is that kind of person who not only would like to help others, but really enjoying doing so. That is【C1】______ he joined forces with his wife, Mary, and a cancer survivor Paul Young to found Hospitality for Family and Friends, Inc. The【C2】______ group helps find unsold hotel rooms for families and friends of cancer patients or for patients themselves the night before an early morning operation or【C3】______ .
"The other day we got a call from a woman who had driven all the way from Michigan to get her husband to Memorial Sloan-Kettering for treatment," said Weinberg. "She and her sons had no place to stay, so the hospital’s【C4】 ______ of social work suggested they【C5】______ us. We found a room for them at last."
Since hotel【C6】______ can be very expensive, Weinberg and his volunteer staff find rooms where families can stay —free of charge of course —for one or two nights. They work with 8 hospitals and 19 hotels.
"We’re【C7】______ on increasing the number of【C8】______ hotels in the New York area now, this is the place where we start our program and we have a lot of connections here", Weinberg said. "When we first started our program, we can not imagine the program is so【C9】______ now. And we hope someday we can take the program【C10】______ ."
And in these years of helping others, we come to understand more about people’s needs, and those needs do not necessarily【C11】______ financial support. One time, there was a 60-year-old man calling us, asking if we could【C12】______ a room near the hospital for him to stay before his major operation. We agreed, and managed to find one room of 3-minute walking distance from the hospital. And after we【C13】______ our promise, he told us the truth.
He is a man of large means, and he can well afford to live in a【C14】______ hotel. The reason why he chose to【C15】______ us for help is that he wanted to live in a place that【C16】______ like a home. He is actually wealthy, and he has several sons and daughters, but none of them could【C17】______ him to go through the painful operation because of their busy schedule.
Since it began【C18】______ two years ago, the group has received many letters of【C19】______ . A patient from Pennsylvania wrote:" Your kind service provided me with peace of mind going into surgery【C20】______ that my wife was safe nearby." [br] 【C10】
选项
A、nationalized
B、nationwide
C、nationally
D、international
答案
B
解析
原文的含义是“我们想把我们的项目推广到全国”,take... nationwide 可以表示这样的意思,要格外注意A的迷惑性,A表示的是“国有化”的意思,而不是“使……在全国范围内发展”的意思。
