Question

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I 1about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by 2, nor happenstance(意外事件), that she had been named "Hope". The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 3 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 4I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 5 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 6that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150 7 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to 8that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done 9January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her10request could not be granted as the funds were simply 11. They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 12dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 13, but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 14to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 15as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 16the story of this caring young girl who had 17the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 18money to help make Hope's dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 19, but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 20was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!
