“Make-A-Wish” is one of the world's most well-known charities. It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.

It all started in 1980 in phoenix, Arizona(亚利桑那州). Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Tommy Austin and Ron Cox, two police officers, made his wish come true. They gave Christopher a tour of the city in a police helicopter(直升飞机) and made a real police uniform for him.

There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:

(1) I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.

(2) I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favorite actors, singers or players.

(3) I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.

(4) I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.

Let's hope more wishes will come true in the future. People who work in the charity always try for the best. Almost 25,000 volunteers help, work or give money. Will you be one of them?

Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time.

The next day she went shopping.

He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale(秤). “That’s just under ten pounds,”he said.

“That is big enough,”Mrs. Parker said. The seller worked out the price. “At $4.99 a pound, that will be $49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”

“Oh, I don't want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said.
