1 . Smartphones allow us to do some great things.     1     The apps allow us to do even more with our phones. One app that encourages creativity among its users is TikTok, also known as Douyin.

TikTok is an app used for making music videos that can be shared with others. It provides some parts of popular songs. People can use the   songs as background music in their videos.     2     People record themselves doing dance moves, lip-syncing (对口型) with the music and just having fun. Some users like to make videos when they travel.     3     And of course, videos of cute animals moving in time with the music are always popular. Users can edit (编辑) their videos with different tools. The end results can be quite impressive (令人赞叹的).

Users can communicate with each other by leaving comments (评论) or giving “likes” on a video.     4     They are like stars with other users waiting for their next video to come out.

The app doesn’t just help make its users more popular.     5     One example is singer Christine Welch, who wrote A Million Possibilities. This song was very popular among Chinese users of the app. Because of that, Christine was invited to sing at a 2019 New Year’s concert in Beijing!

3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I remember the day as clear as glass. I was in 6th grade and my teacher had just announced it was a class break, a time we were allowed to eat snacks and move around the classroom. But on that day, I reached a breaking point.

My friend sat across from me. Two classmates who were attention seekers were making fun of him again. They did something mean to him every day: stealing his school supplies, calling his sister ugly, or laughing at his big head. On this day, they were singing a song about him, “Chicken, chicken Josh.” They sang endlessly and cruelly. Those words were like a bite of hot pepper to my friend, who turned red with anger and embarrassment, while tears of frustration dropped from his eyes. I could see how hopeless he felt.

Normally, I would just sit and watch it all. I was very shy. I rarely spoke during breaks or raised my hand in class. I was so shy, in fact, that my teacher made me a chart to tick every time I raised my hand. She said I’d receive a prize if I filled it up. But I never did. It didn’t help with my shyness; it just made me more self-conscious. But on this particular day, I took a stand. I’d had enough. I stood up and shouted, “Leave him alone!” Silence broke out, all eyes in the room fell on me. But the silence was short-lived as everyone went back to enjoying their break. For the rest of the day, every time the bullies would laugh at my friend during class, I would scream, “Stop troubling him,” or, “It wouldn’t hurt to be nice.”

But these words didn’t help. In fact, it made the situation worse: I too became a victim. From that afternoon on, the two bullies began to make up songs about me. They chanted, pronouncing my name in a different dialect to show I was different from them. This mocking and disrespect upset me a lot. I felt helpless.
