Ladies and gentlemen, thanks a lot for joining us. I hope you have enjoyed the music.1.

3.For example, the Feed Africa Fund (援非基金)spends millions of dollars every year on food for them in Africa. All the money comes from kind and generous people, just like all of you.

4.Just one dollar can buy enough rice or corn to feed a family of four for three days. 5.Ten dollars? Twenty dollars? I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.

【解析】

文章大意：这篇文章主要介绍了在非洲，每一天都有数百名儿童失去年轻的生命，因为他们患有可怕的疾病或没有足够的食物吃。大多数非洲国家很穷，政府没有钱好好照顾穷人。很多父母没有工作，所以他们没有钱买食物或药物。我们举行音乐会是为了给非洲的孩子们筹集资金。

5.细节推理题。根据下文Ten dollars？Twenty dollars？I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund．十美元吗？二十美元吗？我相信你可以在自己的食物上少花点钱，这样你就可以为援非基金多捐几美元；结合选项，可知此处应是说你每天在食物上花多少钱？故答案选B。
