## 题目原文

 Section two. 
 00:00:04,480 
 You will hear a man introducing a charity to a group of listeners. 
 00:00:11,620 
 First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to sixteen. 
 00:00:21,880 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen. 
 00:00:55,760 
 Hello everyone, thanks for attending tonight's event. Let me start with the early history of our charity, Eyesaver. 
 00:01:04,360 
 Eyesaver was founded by a retired optometrist, Timothy Gaines. I have spent much of my working life at Eyesaver. 
 00:01:12,900 
 I am sixty years old now, and I started working for this organization fifteen years ago when I left a corporate position to help people with eye problems. 
 00:01:22,740 
 Now our charity has been helping people for three decades. 
 00:01:27,560 
 You may know that we are now doing various other things to help people with eye problems. That includes medications for children with eye diseases and operational help to those in the public who have eye problems. 
 00:01:40,280 
 But when Mr. Gaines just founded Eyesaver, he wanted the program to be able to offer common eye equipment to those who needed it. 
 00:01:49,660 
 We receive occasional donations from corporations and charity groups. Now we have over one thousand five hundred volunteers who work on the streets with the little red donation boxes, which many of you are familiar with, and this is the main source of funding for us. Besides, we are planning to work to secure donations from wealthy benefactors. 
 00:02:12,300 
 Many people are passionate about charity cause and have been inquiring how to donate money to us. I really appreciate that, but our main need is to collect glasses for our patients. Many of you have multiple pairs of old glasses in your possession, and we encourage you to gather these pairs which you no longer need and donate them to our cause. 
 00:02:34,740 
 In doing this, you'll be able to make sure that someone else can see better. 
 00:02:39,740 
 Most of us cannot imagine a life in which we are unable to see well. This is why your eyeglass donations are so critical to our mission. And as a side note, we offer full-time positions. Let me know if you are interested. 
 00:02:55,680 
 Our goal is to make people aware that even the smallest of donations can help change a person's life, so your donation can be a turning point for them. 
 00:03:06,980 
 The other day when I was talking to some people on the street, they were surprised to find out how easily some eye problems can be cured. And I'm proud to say that our next program will aim at educating people about common eye diseases. We are able to prevent many fatal eye problems. 
 00:03:26,080 
 In order to publicize our charity program, we surely need to do some advertising. 
 00:03:32,350 
 When we first started our program, we used computers to create awareness for our cause. For instance, promoting seminars in which we informed people as to how they could help us to solve eye problems. 
 00:03:45,740 
 But in recent years, the main means of advertising our program is through audio recordings. We have found it cost efficient and effective. 
 00:03:55,680 
 It's good to know that many of our staff are recommending our program to their friends and colleagues, but I am afraid that our training cannot show people the whole picture of our program. 
 00:04:08,700 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty. 
 00:04:20,180 
 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 
 00:04:44,30 
 Finally, I would like to tell you about some organizations which have played important roles in the development and success of Eyesaver. 
 00:04:52,900 
 Our affiliation with the National Vision Funding Group has allowed us to gain fame and to become even more significant. So many people around the country are coming for our services. 
 00:05:05,760 
 Our association with the Eye for the Future organization has allowed us to run cooperative ads via which we seek producers of equipment to work with us. 
 00:05:16,100 
 Meanwhile, some of our staff has been sent to this organization for some special training. Their skills should be improved very soon. 
 00:05:25,420 
 Also, we have had a long time cooperation with Sam's Eye Care Institution. Our relationship with it has given us the opportunity to link with many different academic institutions, including colleges and universities with good reputation. 
 00:05:42,940 
 And we have a similar friendship with a group called Youth Health. Our connection with that group allows us to link directly with young kids since this is a crucial stage in their growth. We plan to contact with some colleges and hope that with their help, more college students could get to know our program. So as you can see, we have all bases covered in linking with students as we have affiliations directly with both administrators and the students themselves. 
 00:06:14,660 
 Thank you so much for your attention today. As we try to stamp out eye problems, we will appreciate your donations, no matter how large or how small. 
 00:06:25,700 
 We believe with our efforts, the world will be a brighter and more beautiful... 
 00:06:33,480 
 That's the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
