Written Comprehension (20 points)

A Magazine Article
1 Read the magazine article. Then choose the correct answer below. (2 points)

For more than three years, Cai Yanqiu has travelled around
China, making an effort to help people without homes. The
reason for this comes from Cai’s own tragic story. In 1994,
Cai’s brother disappeared for three days. When they found
him, he wasn’t well, and he died soon after.
When Cai grew up, he opened a small shop in Zhanjiang.
5
One day, he was waiting for customers when he saw
a man without shoes. He immediately thought about
his brother and he remembered his mother lying in
bed for days crying. He didn’t want other families to
lose their brothers or sisters. Cai couldn’t continue his
own life without providing aid for the man and people
10
like him. He bought a van which he filled with items
like soap, shampoo and toothbrushes. Since 2016, Cai
has helped over 50 people without homes find their
families. To do so, he has driven over 90,000
15
kilometres.
Doing this is not easy. Cai has found that some
people don’t want to return to their families. Other
people live in dangerous places like old buildings or
under bridges. Cai needs to speak to people in a quiet
20
place, but because of their living conditions, it is often
hard. Sometimes, Cai waits for weeks to communicate
with them. Even then, many don’t want help and others
are scared of strangers. Cai said that some of the
people that he wanted to help closed themselves in
25
their own world and lost the ability to communicate. But
even when people refuse to return to their families, Cai
helps them in other ways. For example, he cuts their
hair, gives them a pair of shoes and cooks them food.
30
When Cai first started his mission, he had to borrow
money. But recently, he has started to live-stream his
work, and since then, over 376,000 people have watched
him. Many people have donated money to help, and thanks
to them, Cai can carry on with his mission and return all
35
the borrowed money.

What is the objective of Cai Yanqiu’s work?

a. To donate money to people without homes.
b. To bring people without homes together with their families.
c. To help people without homes by giving them everyday items.
