"Keep your eyes on your own paper" is one of the rules that Mrs. Archer has taught us. It is a simple rule, but it's not a rule everybody chooses to follow.
This morning, I had an experience with a "rule breaker" during an English exam. I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat right behind me. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice. "I hope you studied for this test!" I gave him a smile, not sure whether he was joking or not, and returned to my test. This time I leaned (倾身) a little more closely towards my paper, "I can't see!" James said.
"What am I going to do?" I thought to myself. Cheating (欺骗) went against my beliefs. I curled my arm around my answers.
"He's your friend,and what are friends for?"
"You know it's wrong."
I tapped (轻敲,轻拍) the top of my desk, hoping for an easy way out of this matter. No easy answer came. I just knew I had to do what I felt was right, even if it made James mad. So I guarded my paper so that he couldn't see my answers.
When the exam ended, I stood there for a moment, searching for the right words to say to James. "Sorry, James, but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating," I said slowly and softly. "But maybe I could help you study before the next test." "OK, Brian," he smiled. "It might not be easy, but I'll give it a try."
I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn't been destroyed (破坏). Mrs. Archer would be proud.

Have you ever heard of "Who knows that each bowl of rice is the fruit of hard toil (苦工)?" It tells us not to waste food.
As we all know, every bit of food we eat comes from hard work. It's not easy to turn a seed(种子)into the food you can eat. Recently, to help students better understand this, the No. 4 Middle School in Huzhou, Zhejiang held an activity. Under the hot sun, hundreds of students went to a field to experience farming. With the help of others, they learned how to grow rice and pick vegetables. After the activity, they better understood how hard farming was.
Many countries are facing the food-shortage problem now. According to the UN, there are 820 million people living in hunger today. Our country used to face this problem, too. In the 1960s, because there wasn't much food, many people even died from hunger. In 1973, Yuan Longping and his team succeeded in the development of hybrid(杂交)rice. They made great progress in solving our food-shortage problem. Many scientists like Yuan are always going out of their way to solve this problem now.
When we waste food, we waste not only food but also resources(资源)for growing, transporting and cooking the food. These all take energy, time and water. Wasting food also creates greenhouse gas. So food waste is bad for the environment, too.
Please value what you're eating.

Spending almost a full day in the car with a 70-year-old woman could be boring. However, for a 15-year-old girl, it was a great memory for many reasons. During the trip, we discussed anything we had wondered about in life. And I learned a lot I had never expected to.
I learned that we shouldn't take ourselves seriously and that not everyone has to get "old and boring". She is probably one of the coolest, funniest and most down-to-earth people I've ever met. In boring moments (时刻)), she never fails to tell one of her famous jokes. But when you need a shoulder to cry on, she is there to comfort you. She taught me that "Laughter is the best medicine",
She never brings her phone, and she is okay with it. That hasn't stopped her from shopping and talking with her family online. She doesn't take pictures of everything she sees.
From now on, I plan on accepting the fact that I don't need to stay connected with social media (社交媒体)all the time. Even though I don't use a mobile phone, I can also be better at communicating with people.
There are so many things you can learn from someone older and wiser than you. You don't need to ask for advice, just slow down and enjoy the conversation. You'll be surprised at how amazing it is.

Do you put up your hand when you want to speak in class? If so, you have followed a rule. Rules can be as simple as putting up your hand. They can also be as complicated(复杂的) as knowing when you are “out” in a game.
Rules can be made by anyone. Parents make rules to help children grow up healthily. Rules at home might include washing dishes or cleaning rooms.
Teachers make rules to help students learn and stay safe. Putting up your hand before asking a question helps the class pay attention to the lesson. Students make rules in games to make sure that they can play without fighting. Rules can be changed often. If you change your minds, you can change the rules.
Laws are rules too, but they are made differently. Laws are made by elected representatives(被选出的代表). Voters(选民) allow their representatives to make laws that can protect people's rights, safety and make sure everyone can be treated fairly. Laws cannot be changed often, so representatives consider laws carefully before making new ones.
The biggest difference between rules and laws is the punishment(处罚) for breaking them. If you break a rule, your punishment might be small, like losing a turn in a game. However, if a person breaks an important law, the punishment might be a fine(罚款) or time in prison.
Rules and laws keep everyone safe. People can work and live together in peace by following rules and laws.
根据上面短文的内容回答问题(每个小题答案不超过6个单词)

67. Who makes rules to help students learn and stay safe?
68. Why do representatives consider laws carefully before making new ones?

The little wolf, White Fang, made an enemy of the dog, Lip-Lip. Lip-Lip attacked him whenever he could. He was bigger and stronger than White Fang and always won their fights. White Fang knew that he could not win a fight against Lip﹣Lip. He thought that he had to do something else to teach the dog a lesson.
①One day, he was playing at a river bank when he saw Lip-Lip come. He suddenly got a good idea. He pretendedto be hurt and unable to run fast. When Lip﹣Lip ran after him, he led Lip Lip to the place where his mother stayed. When Lip-Lip got close to her, she turned Lip-Lip over and bit him until she let him go, but White Fang had a bigger problem.
Lip﹣Lip was the leader of the other dogs. They followed him and obeyed him. None of them would become friends with White Fang. Whenever he came near them, they attacked him.
②He was never allowed to play with the other dogs. This made him unhappy and angry. He often forgot how to behave well.
③Several days later, White Fang saw a man take his mother in a small boat. He tried to follow them. He jumped into the river and swam after the boat. Another man came after White Fang in his boat. He lifted White Fang out of the water. White Fang tried to get away from the man, but the man hit him and threw him into the boat.
④White Fang was now very angry because he wanted to be with his mother. He forgot how powerful men were, and he bit the man. The man was so angry that he beat(打) White Fang again and again. The man hurt him badly.
White Fang finally learned that he couldn't bite a man because if he did, he would be beaten badly.
