4．Sitting still and keeping quiet seems like what students should do in class．However，putting your feet on the table，using iPads，eating and drinking may also take place in school．Americans are famous for their casual （随意的）style．I didn't think it was a big deal until I arrived here．
I was told sitting still is what you should do in middle school．That is a traditional Chinese way to show that we are paying attention to what the teacher is saying．Meanwhile，it doesn't seem to matter in the US．When I first saw a student lying on a sofa，I was shocked and thought the teacher may feel angry，but she didn't．She just smiled and kept talking．Then I got used to it，and enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable position （姿势） in class．Yet it's really easy to fall asleep if I feel too comfortable．
Also，we don't have uniforms at school．We can wear whatever we want．And teenagers here feel free to eat breakfast，snacks，and drink soda while teachers are talking．Teachers won't feel upset and may even eat with them．Once，my English teacher was secretly eating a bag of chips in her seat．
American teachers chat with students in class．It makes us feel closer to them．Although it does mean we go off topic easily．In comparision，Chinese teachers are strict，but it helps us to focus on our task．

3．Our views towards life change over the time．When I was around five years old，I was in a car accident．At that time，I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive．As I look back to think what happened on that night，I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not have gotten serious injuries．
The clay of the accident started out great．My brother，Troy and I had spent the night before at JoAnn's house，with Heather，and JoAnn's husband Gary．The next day we spent playing inside the house，because it was cold，windy and rainy outside．At night，JoAnn told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise．The five of us climbed into an old car，and we set off for our surprise．It was still cold，windy，and raining cats and dogs outside when we left．Troy，Heather and 1sat in the backseat together happily．The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos （混乱）!The road was so slick （滑的）that the car lost control．Glass was flying everywhere，and it sounded like there was noise all around us．Then it was totally quiet，except for the sound of the rain and wind．Troy，Heatlier and I were all lying on top of one another．The three of us were crying，not knowing what had happened．JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm （使平静）us down and kept asking us if we were all right．Luckily，none of us was injured，just a few cuts．After that I only remember sitting there in the cold，dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us．We never got to the surprise that night．Bui at least we were able to go home in one piece．
After my brother and I got home that night，I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to．I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night．As I think of the tragedy （悲剧）that could have happened on that night，I realize how precious （宝贵）life is．I treasure my family and friends，and hope that we will share a loving，caring，and rewarding lifetime together．Things seldom go the way I plan them to，but I take a deep breath，try to laugh，and make the best of it．

64．What was the writer doing when Gary asked for help？He/She was sitting there．

2．"Another bad day at school？"my father asked as I came into the room．
"How could you（31）B？I didn't shut the door heavily or anything，"I replied．Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack （32）C the room every time I came home from school．Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house．
"I know this move has been hard on you．Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough，"Papa said，as he put his arm around my shoulder．"（33）C you must remember is that，with a lot of hard work and some time，you will make new friends．"

"Yes，your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo．"
"Very good，and what makes your grandfather so （36）D？"
"He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that，"I answered．
"That is only （37）C correct．Your grandfather was a very great man．In Mexico，he had been a teacher．When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language．It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here，but he did it．He never complained because he knew（38）C could be difficult．Did he ever tell you that？"my father asked．
I looked down at my feet，ashamed at my behavior．"No．That must have been hard，"I said sheepishly（腼腆的）．
"Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent，they will （39）B you for who you are．I want you to always remember what my father taught me，even if it （40）D a few years for people to see who you are，"said Papa．
All I could say was，"Okay．"Then I asked，"What should I do now？"

17．Trains have long been an important form of transportation．Yet they have changed a lot since 1804，when the first train moved at 8km/hr．Today's high speed trains can go 300km/hr or faster．Besides their speed，they have many advantages over other transportation types．
Japan built the world's first high speed railway．In 1964，Japan's"Shinkansen"trains started traveling between Osaka and Tokyo at 200km/hr．Over time，more lines，as well as faster trains，were built．
Korea，England，and the USA，now have their own high speed systems．Taiwan Province's started running in 2007．Its trains are based on two types of Shinkansen trains．They can carry 989people and travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung in less than two hours．
These systems are expensive to build，but they have many advantages．For example，they are good for the environment．Trains on the London to Paris line create $\frac{1}{10}$the pollution that planes create．High speed trains are also safer and cleaner than cars．
