The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area. The idea came from the bridegrooms father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people whove suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day. Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients（接受者） On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “Its like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who dont even have the most basic things,“ Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.“ 21.

Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him B Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment. Childrens relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems. Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Childs Play When 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning，her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. “Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each others arms and hugged,” recalls Rachels mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert. “It was like a scene from a movie.” Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. Experts agree that friendship is not simply childs play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life. A Skill for Life “Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr.Robbie Adler-Tapia，psychologist with the Center for Childrens Health preparation 改为 preparations; serious 改为 seriously；what 改为 that; and 改为 or；way 后加 to；balance 改为 balanced .第二节第二节 书面表达（满分书面表达（满分 25 分）分） Hi, Sharon, This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I am quite interested in it. I am Chinese, which means Mandarin is a must for me to communicate with others in my daily life. So Im quite confident that I can help you learn Mandarin. Learning Mandarin takes time, so if you want to learn it well, you should spend much time practicing Mandarin every day. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese, see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programmes. Speaking and listening are very important for a language learning, by which you are sure to make great progress. In your post, you say you can teach English as a reward. It is just what I want. We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese, so that we can improve our oral speaking. Looking forward to your early reply! Li Xia
