In 2013,the carpenter from Schuby,Germany was surfing the Internet when he came across an organization called Be The Match,the largest bone marrow(骨髓)registry in the world.The 19-year-old didn't think twice about donating,but he never found out who his marrow went to until years later when he received a message from halfway around the world.
As it turns out.Dennis didn't just save another person.He saved a baby-little Gabriel Smith from Springfield,Illinois.As a little baby,Gabriel was diagnosed(診斷)with aplastic anemia and went into bone marrow failure.At just 14 months old,he received Dennis' lifesaving transplant.
Fast forward to 2018,when the Make - A - Wish Foundation contacted Gabriel's family to offer the seven-year-old one wish."At first,he said, "Take my donor to meet Mickey," Gabriel's mom,Lauren,told CNN. "But we couldn't do that,so he was asked to choose one:Meet your donor or go to Disney.He chose to meet his donor,Dennis,without any hesitation."
Fortunately,Dennis had already agreed to share his identity with his recipient's family.Even so,hearing from them came as a bit of a shock. "I was speechless,Dennis said."I can't believe that this happened and that he survived the bone marrow transplant." In August,Make - A - Wish arranged for Dennis to travel to the U.S.for the first time ever,where he and Gabriel becameconjoined.
While Gabriel didn't go to Disney World,he got something even better:adventures with his own personal hero."He is part of our family now," Lauren said. "We are hoping this experience will inspire others."
And incredibly,it did!On August 27,Lauren shared on Facebook that Dennis and Gabriel's story has already inspired thousands of Americans to sign up with Be The Match.With one selfless choice,Dennis sparked a wave of potentially lifesaving acts.He's not just a hero to Gabriel and his family:He's a hero to us all.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty發(fā)布:2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷:12引用:2難度:0.5
