It was a terrible day for Mr. and Mrs. Lin. The old couple was on holiday at a mountain resort. They were taking a walk in the early afternoon, when suddenly the ground started to shake. In just two minutes, everything     1     (change) completely! They were in the middle of a very strong earthquake!

    2     Lins tried to find some other people first. One by one, they found 23 other people. Many were tourists, young and old. Soon it was dark and it started to rain     3     (heavy). Some cried and some lost hope.

At that moment, Mr. Lin decided to take the lead. He called for everyone’s attention and said, “The roads are too dangerous. We can’t go down the mountain     4     tomorrow. We must stay here tonight.” Then Mr. Lin and several young men went back to the ruins(废墟)     5     (look) for food and blankets. They found some, but not enough for everyone. The young people gave     6     (their) to the old.

After that, Mr. Lin divided the people into five groups. Each group had a leader. He also collected all the mobile phones and made sure each group had one. The mobile phones     7     (use) as flashlights. Every 30 minutes, the group     8     (leader) flashed their mobile phones and the light in the dark rainy night made everyone feel safe.

Early the next morning, the groups started to go down the mountain. It was a difficult journey,     9     the group members encouraged and supported each other.

After twelve     10     (hours) walking, they finally got out safely. By then, it was 30 hours after the earthquake. Everyone was tired but they felt lucky because they were part of a special team. This special team gave them hope for life.

When Missy was 10, she read a story about turtles(乌龟) with plastic in their     1    (stomach). She knew she must do something. Then she joined a group that organized a cleanup in her home city of Dubai. “The experience helped me understand what I can do and how I can really make     2     difference,” she told Time for Kids magazine.

In 2016, Missy set up Kids for a Better World. Since then, it     3    (bring) together nearly 10,000 young people from around the world. Its goal is to fight climate (气候) change.

Missy is now 16. “We’re going to have to face the terrible result if the situation isn’t     4    (improve),” she said. She believes even small actions will help a lot.

Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them     5     they can do at home or in their communities to fight against climate change. They can grow food or plant trees. They can recycle. They can avoid     6    (use) plastic bags. These are lessons Missy wants schools to teach. “This information can help change our future,” she said.

    7    (grow) up in a desert city has made Missy (even) know more about the need for action. Her city faces rising temperatures and water shortages (短缺). She believes young voices can bring attention to these problems     8    (easy).

Even if her actions are all very small, Missy has big plans. She’d like     9    (study) at Stanford University in California and she’ll continue to run Kids for a Better World. “We’re creating our own system of change-makers,” she said.
