阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个恰当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Li Ting, a 26-year-old girl from China,       (1)     (live) in the USA since she was 7. She always follows the rules and laws and never makes trouble. She enjoys       (2)    (work) at a technology company. But in September 2017, she began to worry      (3)    her future.

It all started from a decision US President Donald Trump      (4)    on Sept 5^th: ending a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA,童年抵美者暂缓遣返计划). Nearly 800,000 young people in the US       (5)   (protect) by the program and Li Ting is one of them.

Passed by former president Barack Obama in 2012, DACA allows immigrants(移民) who were brought to the US illegally(非法地) as children to stay in the country. Mainly from Mexico, Asia and Latin America, these immigrants, called “dreamers”, are now in their    (6) (twenty). Under the program, they can apply (申请) to live, study, and work legally in the US for two years. After that, they can apply for longer stay.

But now, the dreamers only have about 6 to 24 months      (7)   they become illegal and are asked to leave the country. This has caused a great stir(轩然大波).

Already considering      (8)   as Americans, the dreamers have played    (9)   important role in US society through their hard work. For example, about 10,000 students in the US will lose their teachers if the dreamers all leave, reported the New York Times.

Many people in the country are against the move. The US government said it will wind down(逐步废除) DACA in the next six months and is finding     (10)  (solution) to replace it.

 It seems that Americans are much happier to help strangers than Chinese. Once I walked on the street and tried to find my  (1)   to my hotel. I stopped and (2)  out my map and began searching for the right way. Then a lady came to me with a friendly smile.1 was    (3)   if l was in her way. The lady asked," Do you need any help? I can    (4)   you the way." I was very surprised. In China, most people won't give you a hand    (5)   you ask. I said yes to her. She carefully explained the direction to me.1 was   (6)   moved by her warm attitude.

After experiencing   (7)  many things like that in theUS, I thought about the situation in China. My teacher in China told me that several years ago he went to   (8)   city by himself. After a whole day's hard work at a factory, he bought a pancake at a stall（摊位）.   (9)  he later found out that it had gone bad. Since then, he has been very (10)  to buy food at the little stalls.

   Chinese people are more vigilant(警惕的)to strangers because they are afraid to get hurt. But many American people believe that if you love others first, you will be loved, I think we should learn. from this attitude.
