完成题 A 　　Karen Maclnnes had spent nine months in the hospital．As she grew weaker，the 16-year-old girl asked her parents．“Am I going to die?”
　　Her mother told Karen the truth．After learning the bad news，all Karen wanted was to go home．Her parents decided to satisfy her wish-no matter that medical fund(基金)，which had helped pay for Karen's hospitalization，would not cover any of the full time medical care she would need at home．When she was carried through her front door，Karen smiled for the first time in months．

　　After leaving the hospital，Karen lived for 11 months．“And those months wore happy ones for her，”says her mother．“thanks to Sheila．”
　　Even after Karen died，people kept sending money．Sheila put it into the fund，tried to
find someone else who needed help．By last month，Friends of Karen was helpin9 70 families．
　　“I still have a relationship with each family．”says Sheila．“We have four children who
are near death now，and I want to be there for them．”Sheila admits(承认)the work is sometimes difficult，but says，“the-smile’on a child’S face makes it all worthwhile(值得的)．”
