“Make-A-Wish” is one of the world’s most well-known charities(慈善机构). 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 Cristopher 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 ueually 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?

“How are you?”is a nice question.It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?”is also a very unusual question.It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer.The person who asks“How are you?”hopes to hear the answer“Fine”,even if the person’s friend isn’t fine.The reason is that “How are you?”isn’t really a question and “Fine”isn’t really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying“Hello”or “Hi”.
Sometimes,people also don’t say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone Asks “Do you agree?”,the other person might think,“No, I disagree.I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say“I’m not sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”Often,the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse:“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuses might be real,or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more,but it isn’t polite to say that.
The excuse is more polite,and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,of finishing a talk,people don’t say exactly that they are thinking.It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language.
