ORBIS

ORBIS is a charity. It helps the people who can’t see. The doctors and nurses in the charity fly to the poor places all over the world to help blind people. But they need lots of money to do this, so the doctors at ORBIS hope that more people can raise money for them to support their work.

Four of my friends and I gathered at our favorite restaurant for Anna’s birthday. We were all having a good time when suddenly Julia said, “Hey! Let’s go to ___________house and party on!”

“I’m not sure if it’s a good idea,” I said. I looked to the others for support ( 支 持 ), but it seemed they were ________going to Julia’s house, for they didn’t know _________to say “no” to Julia. Julia always tries to bully (欺负) the rest of us. She knew that we would all get into trouble with our parents if we left the restaurant. But that didn’t _________her.

“Don’t forget Anna’s mother will bring the birthday cake at 8:30,” I said, “We should wait ________Anna’s mother arrives!”

“Don’t be silly. She’ll find us,” Julia said, laughing, like it was no big deal.

“My mother is coming here to pick me up,” I ________, not wanting to tell her I knew my mother wouldn’t allow me to go.

“Stay here by yourself,” Julia said, “The rest of us are going.” Then she began calling me names. I felt tears coming to my eyes, so I ran to the bathroom. I felt so childish, crying alone. It’s really ________to go against your friends, especially when you’re hoping to be popular with them. A moment later, Amanda came in and said, “Julia is just that _______. I agree with you. If we get out right now, maybe we can persuade (劝说) the others to stay.”

“I’m staying here with Susan,” Amanda said as soon as we ________to the table. Then she said something I hadn’t _______. “If I leave, I’ll get into trouble with my parents, so let’s take( 采 纳 ) Susan’s ________.”

Anna looked happy again as she said, “My mother wouldn’t agree, either. I’ll stay with you two.” “Okay, I’ll stay, too.” Ellie added.

“Well, I’m not going alone. I have to stay! Oh!” Julia said.

I was surprised it was so ________. None of the girls left and I knew it was because Amanda sided(支持) with me. I guess it’s true that there’s strength(力量) in numbers. Friends can influence(影响) each other, for good or bad.
