For a child fighting a serious 【小题1】(ill), the days can be frightening, filled with hospitals and doctors. Make-A-Wish® Canada works 【小题2】(give) each child the thing they want most.

“Wishes realized can give a child hope. It helps 【小题3】 (they) feel stronger,” says Megan Van Woezik, officer, at Make-A-Wish® Canada. The organization 【小题4】(get) its start in Arizona in 1980. After 7-year-old Chris Greicius learned he had cancer, he worried that he wouldn’t realize his dream 【小题5】becoming a police officer. On April 29, 1980, friends arranged for Chris to ride in a police helicopter.

After 【小题6】(see) the happiness that the ride brought to Chris and his family, the friends decided to do the same for others and created the foundation. Three years later, a group of Canadians helped 【小题7】 young girl with leukemia (白血病) and started Make-A-Wish® Canada.

According to Van Woezik, wishes from kids 【小题8】(usual) include: “to be”, “ to go”, “to have”, and “to meet”.

“ The influence of the wish is really 【小题9】they get to feel special for something that isn’t about a medical condition,” Van Woezik says.

Young people often raise money for the foundation. “ Even if kids raise $100 in a year, or on their birthday, it' s really【小题10】 (help),” Van Woezik says. “ It all adds up.”

A strong earthquake 【小题1】 (occur) in south-eastern Turkey, near the Syrian border on February 6th, 【小题2】 (follow) by numerous aftershocks. As 【小题3】 result, more than 37, 000 people got 【小题4】 (injure) and thousands of buildings, hospitals, and schools crumbled in it, which worsen the 【小题5】 (poor) of the two countries. Rescue workers and local residents across the region 【小题6】 (desperate ) searched through the urban remains in an attempt to find 【小题7】 (survive ) buried beneath the rubble (瓦砾). Chinese rescue teams helped save at least six people, including a pregnant woman and three children. The life supplies are 【小题8】 (limit) in the affected areas. The world must stand with the people of Turkey and Syria, and make all 【小题9】(finance) and humanitarian assistance available to all who will be impacted by the potential disasters. For 【小题10】(donate) in cash and materials to Turkiye and Syrian, please contact with below person who is Turkish citizen living in Shenzhen.

His days are long, 12 hours crisscrossing the city and 【小题1】(drive) local residents to buy groceries, get medicine and go to the hospital. And 【小题2】 roads he travels are mostly empty since the city was sealed off(封闭). In his blue and white car, Zhang Lei is a rare sight on the streets of Wuhan.

During normal times, Mr. Zhang, 32, is a taxi driver in this Chinese city at the epicenter of the outbreak. 【小题3】 after the local government abruptly locked down the city late last month, Mr. Zhang became one of the thousands of people who have volunteered to help ease the transportation problems.

Most of his passengers are poor, 【小题4】(elder) residents who don’t have children or 【小题5】family is outside Wuhan and can’t come home because of the quarantine(隔离). “It’s heartbreaking,” he says. “There is no one to take care of 【小题6】(they) .”

The free rides【小题7】(arrange) by neighborhood committees, which typically serve as a go-between for residents and the local government. In the current crisis, those committees are in charge of allocating community 【小题8】(resource) and helping coordinate with hospitals.

Like other drivers, Mr. Zhang doesn’t get 【小题9】 (pay). Many Chinese have praised these volunteer drivers for donating their time and 【小题10】 (energetic) to help their fellow residents out.
