When he was a college student, he found that the problem of food waste was more and more serious. He started _________ unsold food from restaurants and stores for homeless people.

After graduating, Sun Jun _________ a volunteer organization called Green Food Bank, which _________ in Shanghai in 2014.

It works by collecting and providing free food for the poor, _________ disabled and so on.

So far, Sun and his team have done something meaningful to the society. On the one hand, they’ve saved a lot of food. On the other hand, they’ve helped some people successfully. More volunteers and restaurants join them now. _________ every chance to do something meaningful, and every small action can make a greater influence than we imagine.

_________ do all these things? Sun Jun says, “Thanks to Grandpa Yuan Longping, we are almost no longer short of food. We need to think about how to stop wasting. There’s a long way to go, but I won’t give up halfway. It’s just the beginning. We still have __________ to do.”

When Yang Fan was taking a walk around the Yuliang Island, she saw a black swan in the grass. Yang Fan knew that swans _________ be fierce (凶猛的). _________ as she got close to the swan, it didn’t move.

She decided _________ it to the Animal Care Center, but the center was across the Han River, far from the park. She didn’t know _________ to carry the swan there. _________, some strangers driving by gave her and the swan a lift to a nearby bus stop.

On the bus, no one seemed _________ by “the unusual passenger”. Instead they were worried. Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager _________ at the bus stop and drove them to the center. There, the animal doctors found that the swan was poisoned (中毒), caused by _________ something used to kill mice. The swan __________ at the center. Thanks to people’s love and __________, she got better. And she could eat by __________ soon. She even made a friend—a little dog.

“It’s a moving story.

Yesterday I read a report about a charity show (慈善演出) in a local newspaper. The aim (目的) of _________ show was to raise money for the poor children. In the poor areas, some children were out of school because their parents couldn’t _________ for their education.

I hope the whole world __________ better and better.
