Sammie Vance，14，knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out. For years，she's been helping kids who feel lonely make friends.
What she was doing was 1 the Buddy Bench programme. She started it when she was in the third grade，in Fort Wayne，Indiana. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling 2 could sit on the “buddy bench”. That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It's really helpful to have other people be able to notice you，”Sammie says.
The idea became popular. The bench brought kids together 3 . Since then，Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It really 4 a lot to me，” she says，“and this is making a difference in people's lives.”
Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench programme at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school， 5 she shared the idea with her principal，her teachers，and her parents.
Getting approval (批准) for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges (挑战)， 6 money，”Sammie says.
To reduce costs and be friendly to the 7 ，she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Soon Sammie was getting caps from people in 50 cities. She 8 got them from people in Germany，the Netherlands，and other countries. In the end，she collected more than 1，200 pounds of bottle caps. A company was able to make these into three benches.
Sammie says the effort has helped her overcome (克服) personal challenges. “I 9 be really，really shy，”she says. “I'm much more outgoing (外向的) now.”Sammie shows us that we don't have to be adults to make a difference. Even kind acts of kids can be 10 . She says，“After all，just be kind.”

二、阅读理解
When I saw Ronny for the first time，he looked like other kids in the first - grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However，he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read，he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out “Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet (字母表).
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year ended，I held an award ceremony (颁奖仪式). I had gifts and certificates (证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit. I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “The Most Progressive Reader”. I showed him his certificate and a book.
A few days later，I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said，“He hasn't put that book down. That's the first book he's ever owned.”
Fighting back tears (眼泪)，I came near Ronny and asked，“Will you read me your book，Ronny?” He nodded.
And then，for the next few minutes，he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading，Ronny closed his book and said，“Good book.”
At that moment，I knew I should do what a writer had done—care for children and make them excellent.
