Module 2　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 [2013·安徽高考] When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking ofP1 volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organizationW1 had helped to make a dream come trueP2 for one of her best friends.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time.
