After a while an old coach broke down in the middle of the road, and the driver couldn't move it. It was eight o'clock, the middle of the rush hour, so it soon created a terrible traffic jam. The bus driver tried to go round the coach. Unfortunately a taxi was coming in the opposite direction. The driver tried to stop the taxi, but he couldn't prevent the accident—the taxi crashed into the front of the bus! Luckily nobody was hurt.When Daniel finally got to school out of breath, the science lesson had been on for five minutes. Daniel said sorry to the teacher and sat at his desk.

Later the King changed the New Year to January 1st. Some people still celebrated the New Year in April. They were called April Fish and were given presents as a joke, and so the tradition was born.

In ancient Rome (古罗马), the day was on the 25th of March. In India, the day is on the 31st of March. In America, the day is mostly decided by young people who want to make fun of other people.

What is a good jokeCA recent research shows that physical activity (体育活动) may help students do better in their classes. The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E. class.Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations(解释):"There are, first, physiological(生理的) explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen(氧气) to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones( 荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins(脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in class. Also, students who take part inorganized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do.All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs.77. What led the researchers to do the studies?A. Schools' cutting physical activity.B. Their interest in physical activity.C. The tests including about 55,000 children.D. Kids' unsatisfying schooling performance.78. How many countries took part in the studies?A. 14.B. 12C. 2.D. 3.79. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage?A. Getting more blood flow.B. Better classroom behavior.C. Feeling relaxed and refreshed.D. Greater ability to organize activities.DSaving money gives you freedom(自由). If you have enough savings you may be able to give up your job. I know a couple(夫妻) who saved up enough money that they were able to leave their jobs for a year, and travel across the country. You could see the wonderful experiences they had because they were able to enjoy that time together.Saving money is improving your future life. It is important to realize that by saving money now you will be able to do so many more things in your later years. You can retire early and spend time traveling around theworld. By saving money now, you will be able to do as many things as you like and enjoy a good life.Saving money will bring you peace of mind. Every dollar that you have in the bank is a dollar, which stands between you and disaster(灾难). People who have savings are not worried when a car breaks down, or someone becomes sick. They know that they will be okay if they lose a job, and it takes time to find a new one.Saving money sets an example for your children.

For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner.85. The post office is across from the bus stop."In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance.

So the old man wrote a letter to his son and said:Dear Son,I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant potatoes in my garden this year. I'd hate to miss doing it, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to dig up a garden. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig up the garden for me if you weren't in prison.Love, DadSoon the old man received a letter: Dad don't dig up the garden! That's whe re I buried the guns!”At 4 a.m. the next morning some policemen showed up and dug up the whole garden without finding any guns. The old man was surprised and wrote another note to his son.
