I grew up in the countryside. At around 10 years old, I began to learn cooking. The first skill I mastered was
making dough（面团）. Since my parents often came home l 36 , a prepared dough would help my
family have supper sooner. I thought it would be e 37 because I often saw my mum do it — just mix
water and flour, right? Not quite! It turned out to be a m 38 for a while. First I made the dough too soft.
Then I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick.
Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings and I f 39 in love with cooking. It’s a good
way to relax. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better d 40 the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now working at home, I cook every meal instead of ordering takeout. It s 41 money and I don’t have to
wait for delivery drivers to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of f 42 work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. T
43 it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my friends still don’t know. For example,
the part of a potato that has sprouts（芽）can be planted as a seed. I once discussed this with my friends from the
city. They thought it was a p 44 that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives.
Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the j 45 of
learning firsthand, watching plants blossom and grow. It brings a new way to look at the world.

How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of
getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered? This was how things worked
not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and c 128 with them has
changed significantly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in t 129 with the people that we want to
remain friends with. Social media t 130 let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. All
you need is a wi-fi connection.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or p
131 an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can c 132 us with others who also
enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends. If people
always e 133 true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful.
But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole t 134 about a
person.
On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly.
But smiling photos can h 135 real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows
you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be s 136 our
information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. A 137 technology has
changed the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As
Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
