阅读理解。      A father of 20 has been reunited with 11 of his estranged (分开的) children thanks to a photographer
he met after saving a Blaina stab (刺) victim"s life.
     Mr. Holpin was enjoying a night out at Blaina Fair when he witnessed a young girl attacked by a man
with a knife. He bravely removed the weapon from the attacker, and saved the girl.
     Betina Skovbro was sent to photograph Mr. Holpin for a newspaper covering the story, and they had
a pleasant conversation. Miss Skoybro said, "He mentioned he was a father to 20 children, 11 of whom
he had no contact with, and he showed me the tatto (纹身) on his back of a huge family tree covered with
all his children"s names, which I thought was amazing."
     Betina was moved by his story and decided to help him, so they began looking for his missing children
and documented the process with photographs.
     "It was strange at first being photographed, but I got used to it. We ended up spending a year together,
and Betina became like a member of the family-she even spent Christmas Day with us." With Benita"s help,
they searched for the missing children from four previous relationships.
     One of the last photographs Belina took was published in National Geographic magazine. It was about
Mr. Holpin cradling (抱) his youngest child, while the baby"s name was added to the family tree on his back.
     He said, "Each time I met one of my children, I had no idea what to say. I told them that the reason I
have my tattoo is because even though I had no way of getting in contact I was always thinking about them."
     Mr Holpin"s children were just as shocked as he was to meet with their father-one daughter had even been
told that he was dead. A lot of his kids had been told bad things about him. He said, "I have had my troubles
in the past, but hopefully the story about the stabbing and Miss Skovbro"s photographs have helped prove that
I am not a bad guy after all, and I really love all my children."
     Now, he is really close to his kids and they"re close to him. He expressed that he wouldn"t lose touch with
them again. 1. Betina met Mr. Holpin for the first time to _____. A. take a photo for him for a newspaper
