From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”

　　Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.

　　The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “I choose the pattern, color and theme specifically for each child, ”explains Amy.

　　When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them. “If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewing, ”she says.

　　【文章大意】本文讲述Amy在女儿生病的时候为女儿缝制了一件短斗篷, 就是这件斗篷为医院里生病的孩子带来了欢乐。由此, Amy产生了灵感决定通过为生病的孩子缝制斗篷, 让孩子们暂时忘却疾病带来的痛苦。

　　1. What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital?

　　A. Her daughter’s serious illness.

　　B. The tiredness from sewing the cape.
