Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That's an important development, one that's long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly's biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988, Medical tests showed that the child wasn't the Twiggs' own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue(起诉) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren't always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
What was the primary consideration in the Florida judge's ruling?
A.The biological link.
B.The traditional practice.
C.The child's benefits.
D.The parents' feelings.
What is Mr. Greens problem?

听力原文: In the United States the family plays an important role in most holiday activities. November is National Adoption Month. We visit with an American family that has an extra special reason to celebrate this year.
It's not Mary Webster's birthday. It is the day that she is adopted. She came to the Webster family about two years ago. When her new mother held Mary, she knew Mary would someday be part of their family.
Mary's birth mother was fighting drug addiction. The Websters were never sure if the birth mother would want to have Mary back.
The Websters were foster parents. It is not known how long the child will stay. No attention is paid to the emotions of the foster parents and the child. Once the birth mother has no more claim on the child, the foster family can adopt tile child.
A judge makes the adoption final. The judge says this ceremony touches her emotionally.
The judge said that in times like this it is nice that some people are able to reach out to someone else and say I want to protect you. I want to make this world a better place for you. I want to do the best I can to make sure that you grow up to be a sale and happy child.
