"These patients deserve a chance at a normal，happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen．
-Daisy，Isabelle's Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei．In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（診斷）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia．Isabelle's body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells．As a result，Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions（輸血）every 4-6 weeks since she was 11 months old．A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems．Her on ly chance at a normal，healthy life is to have a marrow transplant．Isabelle is an only child，so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry．The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life，the gift of blood．

 When I was 10，once my parents were away on business，but I had to stay at home alone for a day．I got up early in the morning，thinking about different activity I could do．The first idea was that I could play computer games all through the day without blamed by my mother．Minutes later，I said to me，"Why don't I do something meaningful？"So I planned to cook the meal for my parents．I tried to recall how my mother usually did in the kitchen and arrange everything on my own．With a whole day's effort，I finally made it．I felt it very happy when I saw my parents eating the meal cheerful．They couldn't help say that their son had grown up．

8．In almost every big university in the United States，football is a favorite sport．American football is not like soccer．

    It's difficult to move the ball．Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball．If the man does not move the ball ten yards，his team kicks the ball to the other team．
    Thousands of people come to watch．They all yell for their favorite tea m．They dance and jump while they yell．Each team plays ten or eleven games each season．The season begins in September and ends in November．If a team is very good，it may play another game after the season ends．The best teams play again on January the first．Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV．
