阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A ★★
For my sweet sixteen there were no TV cameras filming the planning process, and no beautiful car as a “surprise” gift at the end of the party. But it was a party with a far better ending. My friends and family came together to dance the night away and remember World AIDS Day to help the Holly House Orphanage (孤儿院) in Nairobi, Kenya. The $8,600 we raised was the best gift I could ever dream of! It was so pleasing to know that my celebration would be felt halfway around the world by children in need.
I am part of the Global Citizen Corps Leadership Program, which has taught me to become aware of the problems of those around the world. To me, it seems that a lack of education is the obstacle (障碍) that keeps many in the cycle of poverty (贫穷). The school in Nairobi is a place where I believe my efforts, although small, can have a huge effect.
When I started planning for my sweet sixteen, I faced many difficulties. But later I realized that World AIDS Day was on a Saturday, so I decided to use that evening in combination with the donation (捐献) theme so that the date meant something. My actual birthday was not until February, but I moved the party to World AIDS Day in December. Everyone I told was inspired. As a matter of fact, after my party I received an invitation from a friend who also asked for donations for another African AIDS organization instead of gifts. This makes me feel like I can encourage my friends to make a difference in the world.
I did not tell the school what I had cooked up for my birthday. I wanted it to be a surprise. So I put all of the checks in one envelope with a Christmas card. Then I waited with excitement for a response. The school could not have been more pleased with their gift. This birthday party has been the best ever. Isn’t that what a sweet sixteen should be?
21. How did the author celebrate her sixteenth birth-day?
A. By raising $8,600 for African children.
B. By recording the party with a TV camera.
C. By receiving a “surprise” gift of a beautiful car.
D. By drinking with her friends and family.
22. The Global Citizen Corps Leadership Program aims to help children ______.
A. organize their birthday celebration
B. stay away from the influence of AIDS
