The first day was really 41 —there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite (野营地), we were divided into groups and given a tent, some food, a map and a compass (指南针). Standing next to a small river, Fanny 42 camping in the grassy area nearby. By the time we had put up the tent 43 was really hungry. “We wouldn’t have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks.” Peter said. We all told him to stop complaining (发牢骚) and help us start a fire to cook our food instead. Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally helped out. The next day started early. Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was 44 . “Some cows have eaten our breakfast!” he shouted. “That’s all because you didn’t put away the food properly last night,” said Mr Lee. Worried that Mr Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next task—using the map and compass to find a secret location (位置). We made it to the location before the other groups did.

Bridging the Gap Anytime we need a taxi, we can pull out our phone, tap (轻轻叩击) a few buttons on the screen and a car will show up. It’s awesome, right? But what happens to the elderly people who need a taxi ride but don’t know how to use a phone to book one? They can only wave at the taxis passing by, many of which have a 47 been booked. I feel terrible every time I go to the hospital with my grandmother. There is always a long queue of sick elderly people waiting for taxis. These people probably badly need a taxi. But they cannot get one because they do not know how to use a smartphone. Over the past ten or so years, t 48 has advanced quickly. For most of us, it has changed the way we live. Today, shopping, banking and even work can all be done over the internet. H 49 , while many new apps have made life easier for us younger folk, it has made it increasingly difficult for the older generations. China has now passed a new set of guidelines (指导方针) to keep several basic services balanced between their online and offline availability. However, bridging this “digital gap” needs e 50 ’s effort. Probably anyone over the age of 60, at one time or another, has called their children or grandchildren to ask for help with their smartphones. When they do so, we must be p 51 . What may only take us seconds to master can take them hours to do so, even after repeated instructions. Even then, the smallest mistake will leave them more confused than before. The next time your elders ask you for help with technology, remember who was the person that spent countless hours t 52 you how to talk, walk, eat, etc. The least we can do is repay some of the favor.
