A 3?year?old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers(救援者) that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.
The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends near his grandmother's house in North Carolina. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.

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. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9: 50 a. m. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.
Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. 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. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.
The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.
69. What does the phrase “sleep in” probably mean in Paragraph 1?

71. Where did the writer find safety in the shooting?
A. On a football field.
B. In a neighboring school.
C. In a classroom of her school.
D. Back at her own home.
72. What can we tell from the story?

B. There was more than one shooter in the killing.
C. Not all the 21 students took phones with them.
D. The shooter killed himself in the end.

There is no way that you don't have any embarrassing moments. You can't control everything that happens，so you're going to be in an embarrassing situation one day. So how can you solve this problem？The answer is to control your actions and try not to get upset.
Remember that you'll probably laugh about it in a few days，so try to see the funny side of it.
If it is something so embarrassing that you feel you will never laugh about it，please remember that the trouble will be over after some time.
Ask your friends to give you a break and not to make fun of you. If you've done the same for them，they're more likely to agree to give you a break.
Always remember that you are not alone. Everyone has embarrassing moments. While you are sure that everyone is going to remember this moment forever，the fact is that they'll probably forget it very soon. Most of us remember the moments in which we feel embarrassed，but very few of us remember other people's embarrassing moments.
Most people have short memories. So while you may never forget the moment when your skirt was torn (撕裂) in gym class，most of the other people probably forget it at once. Although a short memory may not be a good thing when you are trying to remember facts in a history test，it is useful when you are trying to forget life's most embarrassing moments.
73. How do you avoid being in an embarrassing situation？(不超过15个词)
________________________________________________________________________
74. Why does the writer say “you are not alone”？(不超过10个词)

We had an English exam yesterday. Now I feel very worried because I don't think I did well in it.
First，I arrived late for the exam because I overslept in the morning. When I got to the classroom，the exam had been on for half an hour. So I hurried to do the exam. After the exam I realized that I had made a lot of mistakes in it. Terribly，I was unable to fully understand the writing part.
Now I'm very afraid I couldn't pass the exam. I'm really upset.
Yours，
Li Ying
