Sit With Us

You’re at your new school. It’s lunch time, but you don’t have anyone to sit with. You want to join someone at their table, ___(1)___ you’re not sure if they’re friendly. What do you do? Natalie’s ___(2)___ of solving the problem was to create an app. She knows what it feels like to be alone at a new school. She found it difficult to make new friends and had to ___(3)___ a new table at lunch every day. If she sat ___(4)___, she felt lonely. But if she asked to join someone and was __(5)__, she felt embarrassed. She created a lunch-planning app to help students like ___(6)___ find people to have lunch with.

The app — called Sit With Us — is ___(7)__. If a student is having lunch in the afternoon, he or she can create an invitation. Other students can open the app and __(8)___ that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when and where to ___(9)___. This allows students to make ___(10)___ online instead of face-to-face. This is the reason why it works so _ (11)__: it lowers the risk of being refused, and the embarrassment that goes along with it.

Natalie is __(12)__ to see that people are replying to her app actively — especially those who suffer from bullying (遭受欺凌). Soon after she made her app available to the public, she won a prize for it. She __(13)__ appeared in many news stories.

Natalie was even asked to speak at a university. In her ___(14)__, Natalie wanted people to know that you don’t have to do something ___(15)___ to change lives. Sometimes, a simple thing — like having a friend to enjoy lunch with — can make all the difference.

I went to Beijing to study Chinese last year. I was ___(1)___ about all the chances to better my language skills, walk on the Great Wall, and most of all, eat real Chinese food! I ___(2)___ remember my first jianbing, jiaozi and Peking duck. Each of them was amazing in its own way.

I knew that real Chinese food would be different from the Chinese food I had eaten in the USA. I couldn’t wait to try all the ___(3)___ dishes that came up in my research about Chinese food. One of my favorites turned out to be hotpot（火锅）.

My first-ever hotpot experience in Old Beijing was ___(4)___. As a first-timer, I was moved by the waiters’___(5)___ and their warmth of welcome. They tried their best to introduce all of the oils and spices（调味香料）to me.

Looking around, I found that everyone had their own favorite sauce combinations（酱料组合）, ingredients and styles（食材和风格）. Some would carefully ____(6)___ their ingredients into the hotpot one after another. Others would impatiently put whole plates into the bubbling（冒泡的）oil. You can learn a lot from the ____(7)____ people eat hotpot.

When I went back to the USA, I ___(8)____ to prepare a hotpot meal for my family. It allowed me to not only share the culture that I had learned about, but also offer others a chance to ____(9)___ China like I had. It’s amazing that ___(10)___ could bring so much to life!

Ever since “Mother Nature” gave me life, I expected to grow tall and big.

As a young ___(1)___, I was well protected in the forest. I used to ___(2)___ a good time with my friends under the blue sky and ___(3)___ the river. Our only purpose was to stand high. My pal, Tim often said, “All I ask for is to be ___(4)___ the whole day.”

More than 300 days passed and we grew straight. Until one day, our ___(5）___ birthday, people came, moved us from the __（6）_ and put us on their trucks. “I don’t want to go!” Tim cried.

After a long journey, we arrived in a completely different place with ___（7）___ green. Here we were planted in a line. ___（8）___ the wind blew strongly, I could not even open my eyes to see Tim __（9）___ beside me. So we needed enough __（10）__ to grow thicker and higher to stop the wind.

As time went by, we finally ___（11)___ much stronger. I could keep my eyes open in the wind! I even found the blue sky was back!

This was no longer a no-man’s-land, and hundreds of visitors came here. A man took a picture of us with his ___(12)___, “Thank you. We can enjoy clear days ___(13)___ worrying about sand storms.” A young girl jumping up and down came over and ___(14)___ me. “Thank you,” she said, “It’s you that have turned the desert into a green land!”

Tim and I smiled at each other, feeling ___(15)__. The sun was shining brightly in the bluer sky.
