“改变世界”从这里开始
Directions:Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.
More than 300 high school students from 40 schools across the globe gathered this week at the Western Academy of Beijing,one of the capital's leading international schools,to discuss how they can“change”the world by helping to solve global problems.
