What comes to your mind when you talk about donations You probably think of a group of people with 16 in hand asking people to donate money. But my school came up with a 17 way of raising funds—Fun Night.
Fun Night is like a party. Students pay money to get in and have dinner at school. The 18 they pay will go towards helping poor children 19 .
Two months ago I took part in Fun Night. There were all kinds of 20 in Fun Night. The most popular game was the “jousting ring”(夺环.) I “jousted” with several of my 21 and managed to knock plenty of them off the ring. 22 , they developed different strategies(策略) to win such as starting in a crouched position(蹲姿) to gather more strength when pushing.
Sometimes they attacked me 23 I was ready. It would usually be 24 as cheating(作弊) but we didn’t care and 25 playing. After all(毕竟), it was just a game not 26 .
The best of Fun Night was not the fun activities. The fact was that we raised a lot of money by having a 27 time. A lot of students at my school wouldn’t 28 money if they were simply asked to hand it over. But this kind of event not only made them 29 to give but also allowed them to have a great time playing games with friends. I realized that 30 can be fun. We raised 2, 000 yuan on that night. 16. A. boxes B. books C. schoolbags D. clothes 17. A. common B. different C. silly D. realistic 18. A. sit B. attention C. stationery D. money 19. A. in danger B. in need C. in trouble D. in love 20.
