“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. 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 (直升机) and made a real police uniform for him.
There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:
I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.
I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favourite actors, singers or players.
I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.
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?

【推荐1】Are you a book-lover but feeling having not enough time to read? Don’t worry. You can find out the solutions (解决方法) right here.
Firstly, don’t read before bed. If you read at night, you will probably only get through a few pages before you get sleepy. Instead, I suggest reading before work. Even if you’re not an early bird, use the time you spend checking WeChat every morning to read some lines on the phone.
Secondly, make full use of the time when you’re on the way to work. For example, if you take the bus or subway to work, you can use this time to read. A half-hour commute (通勤) can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week—enough for most people to read a whole book.
Thirdly, _______▲______. Before you tell me how much you “enjoy the smell of the printed (印刷) books”, let me try to tell you the convenience (便利) of reading in the e-books app on your smart phone: you’ll always have your “books” with you, and most importantly, you can always get through a little reading in those lost minutes of the day—waiting in line for coffee, during work breaks and so on. Those pages add up fast.
What’s more, if a book is terrible, stop reading it. You don’t need to waste time reading a book that is not good. In fact, it’s more likely to make you quit your reading habit.
1. In the passage, the writer suggests people read ____________.| A．in the morning | B．at noon |
| C．in the afternoon | D．in the evening |
| A．carry your books all the time |
| B．paper books always come first |
| C．read on your phone if possible |
| D．read when you’re having coffee |
| A．make | B．add | C．enjoy | D．break |
| A．ask people to make a reading plan |

【推荐2】Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival for families to pay respect（尊敬） to their ancestors. People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. The festival falls on April the fourth this year. There are some Chinese poems that offer clues to Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul and body, which adds a sad mood to this poem.The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine（酒） and get rid of the sad mood. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly depicts（生动描绘） two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
Mourning Day Drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day, The mourner's heart is going to break on his way. Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours? A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong, Chinese translator) |  |
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.

【推荐2】It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening（令人恐惧的）.
Yet people around the world continue to smoke. The Great American Smokeout has been founded for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says all cigarettes damage the body. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous. It is not easy to give up smoking forever. However, doctors say they probably will live longer if they do stop smoking. They will feel better and look better. They also will protect the health of family members who breathe their smoke.
The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. Any useful way to stop smoking is worth tying. They may take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, they could eat a small piece of fruit instead of having a cigarette.
The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their risks of getting cancer and other diseases. It says blood pressure（血压）returns to normal twenty minutes after smoking the last cigarette. Carbon monoxide（一氧化碳）gas levels in the blood return to normal after eight hours. After one day, the risk of heart attack reduces. After one year, the risk of heart disease for a non-smoker is half that of a smoker.
Stop smoking before smoking stops you!

【推荐1】My parents seldom encouraged me to ask for help, so I trained myself to become as independent as possible. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.
I walked into the supermarket near my house, not buying anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly. The pain of losing my husband was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet memories.
He often came with me, and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special. He always bought me yellow roses. He knew I loved roses.
Now, standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak because my husband used to love steak. Suddenly a woman came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks, dropped them in her basket, hesitated(犹豫不决), and then put them back.
She saw me watching her and she smiled ,“My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they're so expensive.”
“My husband passed away eight days ago,” I told her. I fought to control the sadness in my voice. “Buy him the T-bone steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.”
Surprised by my words, she placed the T-bone steaks in her basket and walked away silently. However, several minutes later that woman came towards me again. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held, and I couldn't hold back my tears. “These are for you,” she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses meant for me, but, still un-able to speak. I watched as she walked away.
I looked down at the beautiful roses. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. There were still many people caring for me and willing to help me.Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

【推荐2】I started middle school this year, and this caused some painful changes for me. All of my closest friends go to different middle schools in the area. The only classmate I know from my old school is Jake, who's talented in math, but since it's not my favorite subject, we never became friends.
Another big change is that my new teachers set a lot of homework, especially in math. So you can imagine why my heart wasn't exactly dancing when I started middle school.
By the end of October, Jake and I had become good friends. It happened because I was so hopeless trying to do my math homework. One day, I came to Jake after school.
“Hey, Jake, ”I began, "I was wondering if you could."
“Help you with the math homework, right?" he said, completing my sentence. "Sure, I'd be happy to help you, Miguel.” I was surprised because, to be truthful, I wasn't sure until that moment if Jake even knew my name. And yet here he was happy to save me from drowning in my sea of math problems.
That night, Jake and I studied together, and it was time well spent. I must say that Jake is an excellent math teacher.
The next day in class, I was even able to answer one of the math problems. Our teacher was surprised when I raised my hand, and guess what-so was I!
They say time flies when you're having fun, and I guess it's really true. I can't believe winter vacation is almost here! The school days have been flying by like a jet plane. I suppose it's because I'm a much more focused student-especially in math-than I ever was before.
Jake and I plan to hang out together during winter break. He promised to show me the Math Museum downtown. I believe it will be an unforgettable experience for us.
