2 . Alice Lee is a high school student studying at a private school. She is doing some voluntary work at an after-school program to help students from poor families.

On the first day of her work, she noticed that many kids were lining up (排队) for free sandwiches and fruits. She was surprised. One of the organizers says that many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home. So a school lunch or an after-meal might be the most food they would get all the day. She has also been told that some hungry kids can receive free lunches, but others are only allowed reduced-price (降价的) meals, and those students’ family have to pay for the part of their food.

Lee was shocked. She decided to offer help to those who are suffering from (遭受) hunger. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it,” says Lee. She and a group of friends are using their programme skills to make a new app called Food of Thought. It will allow parents, students, and even kind-hearted strangers to give away to lunch accounts (账户) for students in a nearby school.

I liked doing chores when I was young. My mother started teaching us to cook     1     we were five or six. There was a     2     for that. My father was at home for only two days a month, so my mother had to do     3    . She had to     4     the floor, do the dishes and cook for us. When we were five or six years old, we all started to help our mother do the     5    . My eldest sister Lora helped our mother take out the     6    , my second eldest sister Daisy did the laundry, and I cooked for the family. When my sisters     7     their work, they both came to the kitchen     8     me. I can still remember the tears (眼泪) in my     9     eyes when she saw the meal we first cooked. Although I had to go to school on weekdays, I     10     came home every day and cooked for the family. I also liked to take the food I cooked to school and     11     it with my classmates.
