Waiting for a bus can be very{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (annoy). Often you{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) at the bus stop for half an hour, and the bus still hasn't come. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, people in Zhongshan, Guangdong don't have to suffer this. It's all because of a mobile APP, Zhongshan Real-time Buses. With the APP, people can find out the exact time a bus arrives and set an alarm to remind {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to go to the bus stop in time.

    Five Senior 1 students make the APP possible. At first, they just wanted to add or change bus lines to help make it{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easy) for students at their school to take buses. But later, they wanted to make something that is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（benefit) to all the people of Zhongshan. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (get) technical support, the team turned to the local public transportation group company. They carried out three surveys by collecting questionnaires {#blank#}8{#/blank#} are completed by about 600 people in shopping malls and bus stops. “The work took{#blank#}9{#/blank#} almost all of our spare time for four months,” said Su Yinan, 16.

    On Feb 25, Zhongshan Real-time Buses was born. It now covers over 100 bus lines in the city and has been downloaded more than 60,000 times. The project won the first place on the Fifth National High School Students Leadership Convention this summer.

    “We are very happy that Zhongshan people are using the results of our efforts,”said Chen, “Students can also make a big difference{#blank#}10{#/blank#}society.”

    After a long journey, we arrived in Jiuzhaigou late at night. The tour guide {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tell) us its name was from the nine Tibetan villages distributed along the valleys,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} had the reputation of “fairyland on earth”.

    The guide collected us at 8 am {#blank#}3{#/blank#} next morning. Then we set off.

    Jiuzhaigou was famous {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the 118 beautiful lakes and the many astonishing waterfalls (瀑布). Clear streams in the valleys collected in beautiful blue lakes, while in some places they collected into waterfalls. The lakes were pure enough{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(see) to the bottom, and they provided fantastic reflections of the facing trees and mountains. This{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (real) was a place to lose a day in.

After the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (amaze) visit to the valley, we were treated to a well made singing and dancing show about Tibetan life. The{#blank#}8{#/blank#}( performer) had beautiful traditional clothes, provided by {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) families.

    When the sun set, I found that time slipped away, and the tour was over. Although I hadn't explored all the sights, I felt able to enjoy the heavenly {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(beautiful). It's absolutely different from UK. Oh, beautiful Jiuzhaigou, goodbye!

    When Robert Lee was in primary school, he hated to see his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. “They said it was bad,” says Robert, 27.

    While {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (study) finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food rescue club at school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}delivered, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables and other leftovers (剩余食物) from the dining hall to nearby homeless {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (shelter).

    When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (compete), they came up with a slightly different idea for a food rescue non-profit group—{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) program wouldn't have a donation minimum, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (entire) by volunteers.

    Surprisingly, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} idea stood out. Robert and Louisa Chen won the first place. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert steam delivered a donation of enough noodles and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food. Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six- figure salary {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (focus) on RLC. So far the organization {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (reach) sixteen cities around the country.

    During World War II, I lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. My family was Jewish,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}we had been hidden away for a year and a half. During that time I hadn't been able to be outdoors for so long{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I had grown so crazy {#blank#}3{#/blank#}everything to do with nature. Once, I decided to look at the moon at midnight. But I didn't dare{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (open) the window to see the night face to face {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I was afraid of{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(discover) by the Nazis. I felt very lonely {#blank#}7{#/blank#}seeing my old friends. So I had to make a new true friend, my diary Kitty,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} I could tell everything to.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fortune), at last my family were discovered and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(catch) by the German Nazis half a year later.

    The art of paper-cutting in China may date back to the second century, since paper {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(invent)by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. As paper became more affordable, paper-cutting became one of the most important {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(type) of Chinese folk art. Later, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}different regions using their own cultural styles, this art form spread to other parts of the world. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(usual), the artworks are made of red paper, as red is connected with {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(happy)in Chinese culture, but other colors are also used.

    With {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(it)long history, paper-cutting, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}originated in China, has been very popular among the ordinary Chinese people. People put up papercuts on walls, windows and doors at wedding ceremonies or festivals {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(add)to the cheerful atmosphere(氛围).

    Chinese papercuts are rich in content. The auspicious(吉祥的)designs symbolize good luck and the avoidance of evil. The child, lotus(莲花)and bat designs suggest a family with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} large number of children and grandchildren. Birds, livestock, fruit, fish and worms are also familiar objects {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(accept) by Chinese farmers. In a word, papercuts used in different occasions have different meanings.

A few notable moments from my most recent volunteering at the Children's Hospital never escape me.

After we had 1 with the nurses, Dr. Tiny and I went to our first room, inside which were a mother and a two-year-old boy. This young boy was 2 on the bed, jumping up and down. Mom looked at us with a sense of expectation and curiosity. She was trying to calm her son, but she couldn't. Dr. Tiny 3 his tool and waved it through the air creating bubbles (肥皂泡) in front of the child. I had a 4 with me. I started to play gentle, 5 music. As we did this, the young boy watched the bubbles with his eyes, and began to rock 6 gently to the music. He slowly reached out his hand to 7 the bubbles. We glanced over at the mom and noticed that she, too, had become 8 .

Later, we walked into another room at the Emergency Department. The patient was a teenage boy who had met with a terrible 9 , leaving him unable to sit up. 10 , he could raise his head with 11 to see us as we entered the room. He saw our guitar. "Play me a song," he said, "The Red Nose Reindeer."

I quickly adjusted my guitar, 12 my throat, and began to sing, "Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way…" The patient looked up with a look of 13 . With a smile, he said, "Play The Red Nose Reindeer, please!" Dr. Tiny looked at me and said, "You are starting to embarrass us." I glanced at Dr. Tiny and the patient, 14 for getting it wrong I began to sing again. As Dr. Tiny and I sang the song, the patient sang along and laughed. "That was a good one!" he shouted 15 .
