After the party, when all the students were outside the hall trying to find their parents and friends, a man and his wife came to me and asked if I was Becky’s mom. I said yes and the man handed me a gift and told me how much they would like thank Becky for her kindness to their daughter, Jessica, during the school sports meeting the week before.
Jessica’s left leg was hurt and she was not able to finish the up-hill race. Becky was worried about her and kept going back to check on her. Jessica’s dad told me that Becky had shown more kindness for her daughter than even the coach, and that he and his wife would never forget her kindness.

With the economic development, the problem of the left-behind children has become a serious social problem. More and more people have realized we should do something to help them.
The biggest problem is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years. So some children can’t remember what their parents look like. When they meet their own troubles, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care.
Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the second biggest problem.
From a survey about their study, only two percent of the children get good results, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of them are poor. What a pity!
There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyle, spending too much pocket money and too much time on the Internet and so on.
In a word, to solve all the problems of the left-behind children needs the government, families and schools to try their best together.

A. One B. Two C. Three D. More than four
( )43.Which of the following is the most serious problem of the left-behind children according to the passage?

A. Ten percent of the left-behind children are good at study.
B. The left-behind children can’t see their parents often.
