Nikki spent a very small amount of time with her mum and sister when she was about 6 years old, but
soon after contact stopped when communication broke down between her parents.
She never felt she wanted to find her family while she was growing up. But now with a husband and
a son, she decided it was the right time.
Nikki didn't know where to start, but her husband's mum had used 192. com for finding people
before and recommended it to her. With the help of her son, she started by searching for her sister's
full name on the electoral roll (选民登记册) without a location, because she had no idea where she
lived, even her date of birth. From that one search, the site returned two results listed in the area they
used to live.
Nikki decided to call the first number. To her absolute surprise, it was her long lost sister! So after
20 years, it was one phone call that helped her contact her sister! Her sister then passed her number
on to her mother, who called Nikki straight away, and it was like they had never been apart.
Her mum was so glad to find out Nikki was well that they arranged to meet everyone that Saturday
(3 days after the phone call) where she was reunited with her sister and met her two nephews for the
first time. Nikki also found out she had a half (同父异母的) sister and brother.
When talking about the reunion, Nikki said, "192.com made finding my long lost family very easy.
I was not on any social networking sites before and surprisingly neither was my sister or mum, so we
would never have found each other that way."
Nikki will be spending her first Christmas tighter with the other side of her family this year.
B. Her birthday.
C. Her name.
D. Her telephone number.
B. Nikki is about 26 years old now
C. Nikki's sister lives with her mum together
D. Nikki dialed another phone number to contact her mum
B. Her sister has not got married so far.
C. Her mum got birth to four children in all.
D. She got in touch with her mum on Monday.
B. 192.com
C. her son
D. her mother-in-law
B. a wonderful Christmas
C. how important the electoral roll is
D. a family reunion thanks to 192.com
after-school activities. Half of parents in Wales are saying"no"to after-school activities because they
cannot afford them according to a poll for Save the Children.
The government said providing free or subsidized(补助的)leisure activities for children from poorer
background is essential to reducing child poverty in the UK. Of those who pay for activities, Save the
Children said almost half of parents had to pay more than ￡10 per child per week. Many parents were
paying more than $20 per week, the survey found.
"What happens after the school gates close at 3:30 pm is just as momentous as what goes on in the
school day,"said Sally Copley at Save the Children. "Children who do after-school activities have more
confidence, see the world in different ways and have a stronger sense of identity(认同感). All this finally
translates into doing better in exams and getting a better career."
Half of parents in Wales of 4-to-18-year-olds said their child did some form of sporting activity, the
most popular pastime(消遣). Other popular choices included drama/dance (26%), Brownies/Scouts(童
子军)(18%)and music lessons(13%). Almost a third of parents said activities they would like their child
to take part in were located more than six miles from where they lived.
Save the Children said its research highlighted that children from poorer backgrounds did not have the
same chances as their better-off friends. Many local governments have offered a wide range of
after-young people in their area. The Welsh Assembly Government's community-focused schools
programme supports local education authorities to develop a range of out-of-school-hours learning
opportunities and childcare for children and young people.
B. provide low-cost leisure activities for all the children.
C. help most families to pay for leisure activities.
D.demand the rich to support the poor children.
B. violent
C. doubtful
D. important
B. can help children learn better and find better jobs.
C. get children adapt to the society and start their own business.
D. make children lack confidence and a sense of identity.
B. Brownies or Scouts
C. Sporting activity
D. Music lessons
