I first met Steve Jobs years ago at a yard pool party. I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} excited and embarrassed by the chance to meet him in person that I could hardly whisper my name when we {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce). I watched as he swam in the pool with his son, like a regular guy, a good dad {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(have) fun with his kids.

    The second time I met him was when our children started going to school together. He was sitting in the classroom while {#blank#}4{#/blank#}rest of us were pretending that having Steve Jobs in the room was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (total) normal. It was one Halloween when I realized he actually knew my name, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made me a little surprised. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(dress) like a monster, he was decorating a scary house with his wife. As I walked by with my son, Steve smiled and said, “Hi, Lisen”, My son thought I was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cool)mom in town when he realized Steve Jobs knew me.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} then on, when I saw him holding his meetings in our neighborhood, I didn't hesitate to smile and say hi. Steve always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (return) the greetings, proving that while he may have been a genius, he was also a good neighbor.

    On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on {#blank#}1{#/blank#}fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.

    People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Education Service, recently the percentage of people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}cannot get enough food chronically（长期地）has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (purchase) or grow enough food.

    Indeed, hunger{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access {#blank#}5{#/blank#} men to training or land.

    Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (mark) some significant successes, partly thanks{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the efforts of many international{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organization). But on world Hunger Day, let us not forget that with over 815,000 people still{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (live) in daily food insecurity, we still have a long way to go before we can {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(safe) say that no child goes to bed hungry most nights.

    Don Ritchie was a famous Australian man. For nearly 50 years, he successfully stopped 160 people from killing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (they) at a cliff (悬崖), with just a kind word and a smile.

    Don was a real gentleman, he purposely chose to live right across the street from the cliff, just because he wanted to save lives of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stranger). He would wake up every morning and look out of the window for anyone {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (stand) too close to the edge of the cliff. If he saw someone and thought they might jump, he would {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (simple) walk over with a smile and say, "Is there something I could do to help you?" That sounds very simple, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it worked – Ritchie tried to have a talk with these people and ended up inviting them back to his house {#blank#}6{#/blank#} tea or breakfast.

    In a situation {#blank#}7{#/blank#} most people would turn a blind eye, with such simple actions taken by Don, he saved 160 lives. He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) the Local Hero Award in Australia in 2011. Don passed away at the age of 85 in 2012. His story {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (touch) the hearts of all Australians and challenged us to rethink {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it means to be a good neighbor.

Anhui Opera was easy to move {#blank#}4{#/blank#} good at absorbing the acting styles of other types of operas.

    At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Beijing Opera finally formed, and became the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (big) of all operas in China.
