Friends Helping Friends

    Jason put on his schoolbag and walked out of school. His schoolbag weighed him down with all the things he needed to finish his science project this weekend.

    "Hey, Jason!" Ken came over. "I need to clean up the park this weekend. Can you help out?"

    "Um..." Jason knew he didn't have 1 to help. "I guess I can." Jason was going to have to stay up late tonight to work on his 2 so he could help Ken in the morning.

    "Jason," Tracy ran up to him. "I have to walk Mrs. King's dogs this weekend. Could you help me?"

    "Um..." Jason knew Tracy walked the dogs three times a day. How could he find time? "I guess I can."

    Jason's schoolbag felt even 3 as he walked into the house.

    "Hard day?" his mother asked.

    "More like hard weekend. I have to finish my science project, help Ken with the park clean-up, and help Tracy walk Mrs. King's dogs."

    "Sounds like you 4 to do too many things," his mother said.

    "I know, but they are my good friends. I didn't want to make them 5," Jason said.

    "I'm glad you want to help your friends, but you need to have time for your own things, too."

    Jason knew she was right. "Maybe I can tell Ken I can only help for two hours in the morning. And I can probably help Tracy walk the dogs early in the morning but not at lunchtime or in the evening," Jason said. "Mom, do you think they will get mad?"

    "They're your friends. Tell them you need time to finish your science project. They'll 6"

    Jason nodded and got the phone. He told Ken and Tracy the 7. As soon as he hung up, he turned to his mom. "They're fine with it, and they both 8 to help with my project, too."

    "Friends always help each other out," Mom said.

Haili Smith, 16, says she and her sister, Brooke, "have very different tastes in books." Haili likes horror stories. Brooke, 13, prefers fantasy. What they share is the belief that kids are more likely to read if they are connected with a book's characters. That's why, in 2020, they started Books Like Me. The nonprofit group donates (捐赠) culturally different children's books to schools.

"We didn't really like reading a few years ago", Haili told TIME for Kids. "[Then] we started to look for books that had characters we saw ourselves in. It made us want to read more. We thought we could share that with students, because we knew that this wasn't something that changed us only."

Haili and Brooke started with an Amazon Wish List of books they liked. They shared the list on social media, asking for donations of these titles. Soon, they began receiving boxes of new books to give away to schools. As word about their organization has spread, requests have come in from schools nationwide. So far, Haili and Brooke have given away more than 16, 000 books.

Anitra Carter teaches fourth grade at a primary school in Florida. She says donations from Books Like Me have gotten her students more interested in reading. "It excites them when seeing a character that may represent (代表;象征) them or look similar to them," Carter says.

Over the years, Haili and Brooke have been invited to speak with educators about the importance of culturally diverse books. They've also taken books directly to students. At a book fair in Florida, "I was at a table showing kids the books and they were picking them out," Haili recalls. "They all looked so happy when they found a book that really resonated (共鸣) with them."

That, of course, is the goal. "I hope, and I think," Haili says, "that all kids should ____ so that they enjoy reading."

 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you know that almost each Chinese dish has its own story behind it? Now read the following {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (story) about jiaozi — Chinese dumplings.

The first story of jiaozi is from the Eastern Han Dynasty(东汉). It is about Zhang Zhongjing, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} famous doctor in Chinese history. Zhang made jiaozi by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he) for the first time to help homeless people. Thanks to him, a lot of people became much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (health) in cold winter.

The {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (two) story about jiaozi has to do with Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher(书法家) in ancient(古代的) China. When Wang Xizhi was young, his calligraphy was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} wonderful that many people liked it. Wang {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (think) his calligraphy was good enough and he began to spend little time practicing it. One day Wang saw an old woman making jiaozi. Her jiaozi was in good shape and tasted delicious. Wang Xizhi asked her how long it took her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) such great jiaozi. She said, "Almost my life. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} someone wants to be really good at something, he needs to spend his life doing that." Hearing that, Wang Xizhi knew that he should keep studying calligraphy. He spent all his time {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it and became a great calligrapher.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 Rudolph plays football for Florida State University. When he was visiting a middle school in Florida one Tuesday, he noticed sixth-grader Leo eating his lunch alone. Rudolph took a couple pieces of pizza and joined Leo at his table.

 Leo has autism, a condition that can make it hard to communicate with other people. His mother always worries about him. Two days later, she saw a picture of Rudolph and Leo eating together and it made her so happy that she cried. Then, she shared the picture on the Internet, along with a message about how thankful she was. The story became popular very quickly.

"We just had a great conversation. He started off telling me his name is Leo, telling me how much he loves Florida State. We went from there," said Rudolph. "It was really easy. He had a nice smile on his face. Just a really warm person."

 Leo's mother said that middle school can be hard, and she worries about how other kids will treat her son. "Sometimes I'm thankful for his autism. That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think—I hope— it protects him." she said.

"He doesn't seem to notice when people look at him when he flaps(拍打) his hands," she said. "He doesn't seem to notice that he doesn't get invited to birthday parties. And he doesn't seem to mind if he eats lunch alone."

 The mother said the photo of Rudolph and Leo's lunch date helped teach people about autism. "The picture speaks more than a thousand words. You can see how far away the rest of the students are, but you can see how engaged Rudolph is with Leo," she added.

"I just wanted to go say hi to the kid, because I saw him eating alone. I didn't even know anybody took a photo of it." Rudolph said he was glad that the story was helping others.

 Leo is excited that Rudolph signed his lunch box, and is enjoying all of the attention. "It's been awesome. Everyone was so proud of me," Leo said.
