Sophia told us that Make-A -Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It"s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true ,” Sophia explained .
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris ,who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman .Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris"s dream come true—so, with everybody"s help, Chris, only seven years old at the time,had been a “policeman” for a day.” When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too,and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish,” explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time.A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary,or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

举一反三
I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house—Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen"s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy"s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy,and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn"t crouch (蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.
I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight o"clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy"s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.
The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely,“Please go and eat. We"re OK.”
I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn"t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?
People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were illtempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldn"t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn"t think that would be much help.
The policemen were matteroffact about the whole thing. The thin one said,“That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you"re told.” Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.
Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,” he said. “If you had gone into the house with them...” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” ——he twisted his head toward me——“and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look,” said the fat policeman kindly, “ there"s no right or wrong in the situation. There"s just luck.”
All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time—no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There"s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.
And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone.Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they"re fooling themselves.
小题1:When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window,________.
A.she felt very annoyed |
B.she lost consciousness |
C.she felt very much nervous |
D.she lost the power of thinking |
A.Jeremy"s fighting. |
B.The author"s screaming. |
C.Their neighbour"s brave action. |
D.The police"s arrival. |
A.they were much too frightened |
B.they were busy preparing dinners |
C.they needed time to find baseball bats |
D.they thought someone was playing a trick |
A.neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty |
B.the police are not reliable when one is in trouble |
C.security is impossible as long as people can have guns |
D.preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice |

Although my thoughts were only on speed,the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted,and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies,wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought,well,he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure,his words were the usual,“How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while,you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say,“I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply,“Have a great day!”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change,walked around the counter,and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them.“You have a great day.Byebye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out,smiling.
Of course,he did the same to me and I got to know his name,Marty.
Who was that guy?It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

A.they don’t really care what you may answer |
B.they are just practicing their conversation ability |
C.they are inquiring about your private information |
D.they don’t expect to hear any negative answers |
A.They thought it priceless. |
B.They were in some way moved. |
C.They thought it awful and odd. |
D.They felt somewhat offended. |
A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises. |
B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way. |
