When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.
While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.
The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”
In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.
“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.
Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.
“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman. “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”
What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.
Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.
1.What troubled Natalie when she was 12?
A.She had to go to a new school.
B.She was hurt by her classmates.
C.She found it hard to be friendly to others.
D.She failed to help those who were bullied.
2.The underlined word “outcast” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person ________.
A.who is not useful B.who dislikes food
C.who bullies others D.who is not accepted
3.How does Sit With Us help kids?
A.By talking with them. B.By introducing programs.
C.By serving lunch to them. D.By supporting them at lunch.
4.What’s Natalie’s hope for the future?
A.Encourage more kids to use Sit With Us.
B.Invite more kids to her lunch table.

The morning of March 2, 2012, was a busy one for the students in Mrs. Goodknight’s class in Henryville, Indiana. There was morning meeting with poems to read, jokes to share, and tests to prepare for. “It was just an ordinary day,” says student Lyric Darling, 12.
At noon, while students played basketball under a sunny sky, a huge tornado (龙卷风) was forming 50 miles away. Around 2:25 p.m., 20 minutes before school was supposed to let out, a huge tornado touched down in Fredericksburg, 20 miles away. As word spread, parents rushed to the school. Teachers rushed to get kids onto buses or into waiting cars. By 2:45, the skies were darkening.
“I was crying,” says Lyric. “All around me, kids were crying.” Two buses returned to the school with students whose parents had not been home. Teachers brought the kids to the office, where they all took cover under desks. Suddenly the power went out. And then the tornado attacked the school, filled with wood and trees and glass. The tornado was over the school for less than one minute. In that time, it almost completely destroyed the school. Teachers were about to lead the group out of the office when a second tornado was upon them. When it finally ended, the group made its way out of the building.
Over the next few hours, parents arrived, overjoyed to find their children. The next day, it was clear: All of Henryville’s people were safe.
There were so many sad and frightening stories. Some students saw the tornado with their own eyes. Some lost their homes. But many described how the community (社区) came together to help and support each other. “You learn what’s important,” Mrs. Goodknight says.
1.When did the tornado hit the school?

It was one of my first lessons as an international student in New York City. My US history teacher had just finished his lesson. He sat back in his armchair comfortably, and asked: “Was there anybody doing anything interesting yesterday?”
“I drew a panda, which was lovely!” a girl beside me shouted.Then, the talk developed rapidly. Someone said he had received his learner’s driving permit, while another mentioned that she had spent the first salary from her part-time job. Everybody seemed to have something to say. Although there was a range of people, from different backgrounds, people seemed to feel at home with each other.
Not me. I stayed aloof from the discussion. I looked through my notes until I looked up to see another teacher come in and share some cookies he had made yesterday. The beautifully baked cookies sent out a good smell, which made it impossible to concentrate on my work any longer. However, my seat was in the back row, and I was too shy to stand up and take a cookie for myself.
“Go ahead and have one!” It was the history teacher: “If you don’t stand up, nobody is going to feed you!”
I was still hesitant, but I got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy” we were.
The “cookie crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United States. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “Nobody is going to feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn.
1.The atmosphere in a US classroom is quite __________.
A. lively B. lonely
C. bad D. quiet
2.What does the underlined phrase “aloof from” mean?
A. in spite of B. instead of
C. apart from D. away from
3.What prevented the writer from getting a cookie for himself at first?
A. His bravery. B. His shyness.
C. His strangeness. D. His weakness.
4.The “cookie crisis” in the last paragraph was __________ to the writer.
A. an important problem B. a kind of valuable food
C. a turning point in his life attitude D. a dream in his school life
