Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.

Because she couldn’t give them one by one, Levine, then a sixth-grader, decided she would use her talents(才能) to do the next best thing. She began to knit(编织) hats, scarves, and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy, a program that provides newborn baby items for families in need, and to Knitting Pals by the Bay, a local organization that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.

“I love to knit, and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them. It would be like a hug for them,” Levine explained.

Levine started the project about a year ago. “I think it’s just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy,” said Levine, now 13.

Once she got started, Levine realized that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities(社区), asking for knitted donations(捐赠物) to the project she named “Hannah’s Warm Hugs”. She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to gush in.

“It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door,” said Levine’s mother, Laura Levine. “We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.”

The knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organizations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.

“It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought,” her mom said. “It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.”

1.Hannah Levine knitted hats and scarves ________.

A. for children and families in difficulty

B. to raise money for cancer patients

C. to earn some pocket money

D. for the homeless in her neighborhood

2.The underlined part “gush in” in paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “________”.

A. take offB. run outC. flood inD. break in

3.What would be Laura Levine’s attitude toward Hannah Levine’s project?

A. Optimistic but worried.

B. Proud and supportive.

C. Concerned but doubtful.

D. Unfavorable and uncaring.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Be ready to lend a helping hand

B. Start a project to show your support

D. 13-year-old girl becomes US best knitter
