Good Luck.
A talk show in Pakistan has given away two baby girls [alive / live] on television. The show is called Aman Ramzan and it is [hosting / hosted] by a popular celebrity Aamir Liaquat Hussain. Mr Hussain gave the two [infants / infancy] to two childless [couples / couple] last month. Mr Hussain's show is famous for [taking / giving] away computers, motorbikes and other goods. Many people [believe / beliefs] he gave away the babies so that more people would watch his show [while / during] Ramadan. TV companies do their [best / most] during Ramadan to get people to watch their programmes. CNN said the baby giveaway [worked / operated] for Mr Hussain because he got record numbers of people watching his show. He plans to follow [up / down] last month's show by giving away a baby boy next week.

The two babies were abandoned at one of Karachi's rubbish [dumps / damps] . A welfare organisation rescued them. A spokesman for the charity said: "Our [team / teams] finds babies abandoned on the street, in garbage bins. Some of [these / them] dead, others mauled by animals. So why not [ensure / insure] the baby is kept [alive / live] and gets a good home?" He explained that he [did / made] research on the new parents, saying: "The couples were [already / ready] registered and had four or five sessions with us." New mother Soraya Bilquis said she and her husband waited for 17 years to get a child of their [own / baby] . She looked at her new baby and said: "My life is [complete / completely] now because of her. I can't describe how happy I am because someone will [glow / grow] up and call me mother."
