浙江省金华市婺城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期末英语试题
You' re at your new school. It's lunchtime, but you don't have anyone to sit with. You want to join someone at their table, but you' re not sure if they' re friendly. What do you do? One student's solution was to create an app.
Natalie Hampton from California, USA, knows what it feels like to be alone at a new school. She found it difficult to make new friends and had to search for a new table at lunch every day. If she had lunch by herself, she felt lonely. But if she asked to join someone and got refused, she felt embarrassed (尴尬). Her solution was to create a lunch-planning app to help students like her find people to have lunch with.
The app— called Sit With Us— is simple. If a student is having lunch in the afternoon, they can create an invitation. Other students can open the app and accept that invitation. They can then use the app to decide when and where to meet. This allows students to make plans online instead of face-to-face. This is the reason why it is so popular: ▲ .
Natalie is pleased with the way people are responding to her app-especially those who suffer from bullying(欺凌). Soon after her app came out, she won an award for it. She also appeared in many news stories.
Natalie was even asked to speak at a United Nations Youth Assembly (集会). In her talk, Natalie wanted people to know that you don't have to do something big to change lives. Sometimes, a simple thing — like having a friend to enjoy lunch with— can make all the difference.
a. order food b. send or accept an invitation
c. set time and place d. talk face to face e. make plans online
