D. Answer the questions.（12分）
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
“I like photography because it captures amazing things that you might not see again,” Timmy Watter says. He
takes pictures of flowers, sunsets, road signs and ancient buildings. But those photos don’t usually end up in a
photo album or on his bedroom walls. Timmy sells them and donates the money to help fight lung cancer (肺癌).
When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bella had lung cancer. He wanted to do something to help
her. His first plan was to sell his photos from a vendor’s stand (小贩摊位) in front of his house. “My mum said it
wouldn’t work because we were not on a busy street.” Timmy explains.
His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers and white lights. Then
he arranged his photos. Timmy’s mum, Sara, remembers: “Everything was filled with photos, including our dining-
room table and the living room.” Timmy’s friends, family, and teachers came to the show. He raised more than
$300 for cancer research that night. “Aunt Bella was very happy and excited,” Timmy says.
After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmy’s photos, a volunteer offered to help him set up a website
called Camera for a Cure. As more and more people learned about his cause, Timmy began receiving invitations to
sell his pictures at art galleries and charity events. Since then, his work has appeared in more than 20 shows. To
prepare, he takes lots of photographs. His mum helps him print and frame (给……镶框) them. Then he gives each
one a price and decides where it will be displayed. When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks
about what he was thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes
donations and sales are slow, but Timmy isn’t worried. “It doesn’t matter how much money we made because
________,” he says.
Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So, Timmy will keep doing his part
by taking and selling photos of the things he sees.
58. Timmy doesn’t usually put his photos in a photo album, does he?
