On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well.

As I looked down, I thought to myself, “How am I running so fast ”
I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried.

In China, if you are standing in class and listening to the teacher, it's usually considered that you are being punished for breaking class rules. But in a middle school in Texas, almost all the students are using a kind of new desk—standing desk. That means they have to stand while listening to the teacher in class.
Why is this kind of special desk used Because many people think standing desks can help people lose weight and keep fit. Some teachers say using standing desks makes students focus more and behave better. However, they might not know that scientists have found that standing desks could improve students' cognitive functions (认知功能). This was discovered by scientists from Health Science Center of University of Texas. They made a study of about 300 primary school students from Grade Two to Grade Three during a school year. They found that if children used standing desks in classrooms, they could finish their class tasks better. What's more, another study of 34 high school students also showed the use of standing desks could improve learning efficiency (效率).
According to the new studies, maybe students won't need chairs anymore one day.

( )66.What's the advantage (优点) of standing desks
A.They can help students study better.
B.They can make the students more active.
C.They can keep the students excited in class.
D.They can avoid bad learning habits.

That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and maths.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house to help me once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.
I remember very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak or know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU (重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you've done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you've done for me.”
Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.
( )68.Which of the following is the correct order of what happened in the story
a.Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital.

How do you feel when you are fooled by others No doubt, feel bad. There is nothing worse than falling for a joke and being a fool except one day. Yes, that's April Fool's Day. Nobody will be angry to be an “April Fool”. 73.
The headmaster at my school decided to play an April Fool's joke on the students when I was in high school. On March 31, she announced that our school would hold a “Dress to Impress” day. 74.
Girls were told to wear formal dresses and smart jackets, while a suit jacket and tie for each boy would be best. The teachers, we were told, would do the same.
On April Fool's Day, many of us students came to school dressed in our best clothes. 75. In the morning, all of us got together in the playground, waiting for the headmaster. She would speak to the students. 76. Instead, she wore jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt. The teachers also got dressed casually like her.
“April Fools!” she said, with a big smile on her face. “We just wanted to remind you that teachers have a sense of humor, too!”
Surely, all the teachers weren't April Fools. 77.
A.Our hair was tidy and all our shoes were well cleaned.
B.People say something nice to others on that day.
C.All we students spent the rest of the day feeling very foolish indeed.
D.This meant that the better you dressed at school, the higher your marks would be.

One Possible Version:
Dear Jack,
Here I'd like to tell you about my embarrassing experience.
Once, I invited my friend, Peggy, to dinner. We hadn't seen each other for three years. While enjoying the delicious food, we talked about the people we knew, the places we had been to and the things we found interesting. We shared each other's joys and pains. It was a great time. But only when I was about to pay for the dinner did I realize I had left my wallet at home. This meant Peggy had to pay for the dinner instead of me. I will never forget this embarrassing experience.
Yours,
Wang Xun
