She went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. After she looked for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and she decided to take a black one.

She thought, “Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color. ” So she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her until her classes finished.

On her way home on the train she felt hungry because she had so little for lunch. So she went to the buffet car (餐车). She left the umbrella on her seat. But when she got back, it was lost!

Sally began to cry. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was the matter. She told them the black umbrella she bought for her mother was lost, and she had to get off at the next station. After three passengers heard this, they asked her for her mother's address so that they could send the umbrella to her if someone took it by mistake and brought it back.

And then a week passed. Sally got a letter from her mother. It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely gifts, but why do you send me three black umbrellas？”

People in the office usually sit for most of the day when they work. But this is bad for a person's health. When people sit for too long every day, they don't move very much. So it is easy to start getting fat. Sitting too long is also bad for their work because it makes them want to sleep. When this happens, people may make more mistakes in their work or spend more time finishing their work. Companies need workers to be healthy, so how do they fix the problem?

Some companies have different types of desks to help their workers. The first type of desk is the standing desk. The desk can be taller when a person wants to stand. It can also be shorter when the person wants to sit. Another type of desk is the walking desk. This desk is made so that a person can walk while working at the same time.

Workers in the companies like the different types of desks very much. They think these desks are quite useful.

63. When people in the office work, they usually ____.

A. sit   B. move

A very long time ago, when the world was just created, the moon was not there and the sun shone all the time. So there was no idea of night and people kept working hard and didn't know when to sleep. They went to bed only when they were too tired.

One day the Creator visited the men in the fields.

“When did you last water this field？” he asked one of them.

“Today，” answered the man.

He saw a woman with a child. “When was this boy born？”“Today，”said the woman.

The Creator then got to know: without a division(分隔) of time, people had no understanding of time. He decided to change it. He told the sun, “You must set in the evening and rise again in the morning. So people will know it is time to sleep when it is dark. ”

But there was a big problem. When the sun went down, everything became dark suddenly. People were so frightened that they ran here and there. They fell down and broke things.

Then the Creator decided to give people something else with less light. So he created the moon. People were excited, because they could see at night and did not hurt themselves any more. They slept quietly in the light of the moon and got up the next day when the sun shone brightly.

67. Why didn't the men in the fields understand time?

A. Because they were silly.

B. Because they didn't like time.

C. Because there was no moon in the universe.

D. Because there was no division of day and night.

C. People knew when to get up and when to sleep.

Parents don't want a pet at home for some reasons, such as there's just a lot of work to do to keep a pet clean, healthy and happy.

Before you ask for keeping a pet, plan out your words and actions with the following steps:

•Act like a mature(成熟的) adult at home. Finish your homework carefully in time, do chores as much as possible, and keep the home clean.

•Last but not least, find out the reason why they don't let you have a pet. You may have an answer to their worry. Is it because that there isn't enough space? Start a clean­up!

70. What is NOT a good side of having a pet at home?

A. Being happy.  B. A lot of work.

As we all know, “Serving others can bring us happiness. ” The summer holiday is coming. I'll do some service in our community to make it better. First, I'll go to our community center to help and cheer up the old people. For example, I can sing songs or tell them some interesting stories. Second, I'm going to hand out the leaflets on COVID­19 at our community hospital or other places. Next,  I'm also planning to pick up and sort rubbish with my friends in our community park. What's more, I'll help the kids with their lessons and look after them as well.

I'm sure I'll have a meaningful holiday this summer.
