Question

【题目】Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案):

Jerry lived in a small town in America. She always wanted to help others when she was young. At the age of 5, she learnt about an organization named Locks of Love. It uses hair donations (捐献) to make wigs (假发) for children who have lost their hair because of cancer or other illnesses. Jerry then asked her mother to cut her long hair and send it to the organization.

At 8, she learnt that other children had no clean water in Africa, and she was shocked. When her school began raising money to build wells there, she asked her parents to stop holding her birthday party. Also, she asked her friends each to donate $9 to the project in Africa instead of giving her birthday presents.

One year later, it was her ninth birthday on June 12. She made a birthday page on the Internet with a goal of $300. But Jerry was able to raise only $200. This made her a little sad.

Unluckily, Jerry was badly hurt in an accident after eight days. That was terrible news to her friends. They wanted to find some ways of showing support to her. More and more friends began donating on her birthday page. Donations passed her $300 goal quickly and kept rising.

When it was clear that she would never come back to life, her parents donated her organ (器官) to other children. They also donated her hair a final time to Locks of Love.

More money was being raised. The total donations soon reached $100,000, then $300,000. So far more than $850,000 has been raised from all over the world, including donations from the Africans who are moved by the little American girl.

Jerry住在美国的一个小镇上。当她小时候，她总是帮助别人。在她5岁的时候知道了一个叫“爱之锁”的组织，他们捐献头发来制作假发，捐给那些因为癌症或其他疾病失去头发的孩子们。Jerry叫她的妈妈剪了头发送给组织。在她8岁得知非洲很多地方没有水喝的时候，她主动要求不举办生日派对，而是要她的朋友每人捐9美元给非洲的组织当做生日礼物。她在网上做了生日册希望筹集300美元，但是只筹到200美元。不幸地是，Jerry遭遇车祸并离开人世，她的父母捐献了她的器官，并且把她的头发捐献给了“爱之锁”。人们被小女孩感动，纷纷捐款。
