(2020·湖南省名校联盟高三联考)
Harry Potter movies are huge hits and loved by children all over the world.Kids can lose themselves in the wonderful world of magic while learning values that are important to them.
That's why Paula DuPré Pesman，the associate producer of the Harry Potter movies，found it so hard to leave this behind when choosing to start her organization There With Care that helps families with sick children.
Her move towards charity work did not happen by chance.While working on the set of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone”，Pesman received a call asking if she could realize the wish of a child，who was a fan named Gillian with a wish to see a movie about Harry Potter. Though such a wish seemed impossible to achieve，Pesman brought together the crew who together overcame the challenges and put together a rough?cut screening for the young girl.
Pesman's determination to help Gillian came from her own experience of living with her husband，who had fought and won the battle with cancer. Carrying out Gillian's wish enabled her to witness how powerful supporting a family in need can be. So she left the career she loved in 2005 to start her organization.
There With Care provides many services that families in need rarely find，such as transportation to and from the hospital，gas cards，deep cleaning services，clothing and meals，especially when kids are in hospital. Now the organization has helped over 4，000 families.
Looking back，she said，“In a way I think everything came together so that today we would be here helping. It gave us a new purpose and a new way of helping people.”

“Mommy，don't go，” my three year old son screamed as I walked to the door.My fifteen year old leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest，not screaming，but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
“Are you mad at me too？”
“You spend all your time taking care of other people's kids，but what about us？” Dylan left angrily.
I was shocked and a little hurt.How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing was saving lives？Then the answer hit me.He didn't know，because he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did.Dylan had heard the stories of sick children，but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth—that without our help，the children would likely die.
“Get dressed.You are going with me，” I said.
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son，who pretended to ignore me the entire time.“He's seven，only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick.He has a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot，which could kill him.It is a miracle (奇迹) that he is still alive.”
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there.Still，Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks.Dylan had one large and one small Slurpee (思乐冰饮料).He said the small one was for Hector.I doubted whether the little guy would be able to drink it，but remained silent.This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there.I wasn't about to ruin it.
I stopped at the nurses' station to check on Hector's progress while Dylan went to his room.Our patient was recovering physically，but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotionally.She said，“Kids usually bounce back fast，but he hardly speaks and never smiles.”

答案：
Paragraph 1：
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector's room.I entered and found Dylan sitting on the edge of Hector's bed wiping pieces of frozen drink from Hector's mouth.Both boys were giggling and Hector was apparently enjoying the company.I spent the rest of the day speaking to doctors and watching my son playing with the special little boy.It was truly amazing to watch them interact，as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Perhaps to the two of them it was.
Paragraph 2：
On the way home that night，Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay.I told him this boy would get well but he had a hard road ahead of him.My son seemed to be lost in thought for a while.Then he declared his decision to join Healing the Children as a volunteer to help Hector and other children.I never thought that a moody teenager would take up the voluntary work and never again complain about his mother's crazy work schedule.
