What does a typical day look like for a high school student in the United States? Well, everyone’s very different. I can describe my normal day in high school for you.

Our school day went from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. However, some days I had cheerleading (啦啦队)practice or play practice at 6:30 am. If I had cheerleading practice I got ready at school, and if I had time, I ate breakfast at the school cafeteria.

Then I would head to my locker and take my books for the first period. Each class went for about 50 minutes and we had 4 minutes to get to the next class. We studied everything from science to math and Spanish to PE.

I played the piano in band, so one of my class periods was used for that. Lunchtime would be at 12:30 pm and afterwards we had some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there was a seminar period. It could be used for studying or meetings.

After school, I would cheer at a basketball game, be a lifeguard (救生员)at work or have speech practice. My family always tried to have dinner together at around 7 pm, but there wasn’t always time. I would finally start studying at around 8 or 9 pm.

So there you have it! That's my typical day in high school.

The children decided to go to the station and wait for her train. They got there an hour early so that they could talk to their friends.

Suddenly, they heard the noise of many people talking. They went out of the waiting room to see what was happening. There was a crowd of people at the far end of the platform. They ran to the end of the platform. The children could see what the crowd was looking at. It was a man. He was not an ordinary man. He looked wild and ill, and his clothes were tom and dirty. He was lying on the ground.

"Show me your ticket, "the station master said to the man.

The man just looked at him.

"I think he's foreign, he doesn't understand English,"another passenger said.

Peter had an idea. He had in his pocket a small packet of foreign stamps. He showed that wild-looking man the stamps from many different countries.

The man shook his head at each of them until Peter showed him a Russian stamp.

Then, he touched the stamp and nodded his head.

"He's Russian, " Peter said. "Many Russians can speak French. Mother can speak French. She511 talk to him when she arrives. "

Mother’s train soon arrived.

Mother spoke to the man in French. They had a short conversation.

"This man is ill, and he has no money. I will take him home with me. We cannot leave him here. "

"Perhaps he is a dangerous criminal, " the station master said. "I should call the police. He traveled on the train without a ticket. "

"Please don't, " Mother said. "I am sure he is a good man. "

"Very well, " the station master said, "but I think you are foolish. "

He walked away.

Sitting for hours at a time is dangerous and can even lead to death.

Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.

Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or I in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies arc designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应)to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn't an answer to the question.

A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won't make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节)and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your mates and talk to them instead of sending emails.

These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.

62. What did ancient humans do in the daytime?

① Hunt.   ② Work.    ③ Sit.    ④ Move.

A. ①②③    B. ②③④   C. ①③④   D. ①②④

63. What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Normal work desks.     B. Standing computer desks.

C. Standing desks.      D. Some chairs.

64. Which of the following does the writer probably agree?

A. Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.

B. People should be active both at work and after work.

C. Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.

D. The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.

65. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Not to sit all day long.  

B. The best way to exercise.

C. How to use a standing desk.  

D. A new study on ancient humans.
