We can have a competition(竞赛). ” “All right，” said Lion. Rabbit took Lion to a deep ravine(深谷). He said, “If I fly down to the ravine faster than you, I am faster and cleverer than you. So I go, or you will go first？” “Of course I will go first，” said Lion, “I am the King of the Jungle！” He then threw himself into the deep ravine.

It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in the pill form. Farming, of course，is highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. People are now largely vegetarians(素食者) and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we don't have any diseases(疾病). ( )60. The writer thinks in about A.

But Gao Yuqi, a 14yearold boy from Anhui, got up at 7：00 am to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday. In fact, the exercise was part of his homework. Gao was not alone. Many schools across the country required(要求) students to exercise during the winter holiday. Part of the reason(原因) is that physical education test scores are now worth(值) more on the senior high school entrance examination (中考). And the score is now worth up to 60 points. Because of this reason, Gao' s school now asks students to run when the weather is nice, and exercise indoors if it is bad. Students have to post(公布) exercise photos in their classes' QQ groups. At the Golden Apple Jincheng No. 1 Middle School in Chengdu, students have daily exercise plans. For example, they have to skip rope(跳绳) for two minutes and do three sets of sit ups( 仰 卧 起 坐 ) each day. Their parents sign off( 签 名 ) on their plans when they finish exercising. This is a big challenge (挑战)for many students, but it also helps to make exercise a bigger part of their lives. Many students didn' t like running before, but now they are able to run for over half an hour every day. They fall in love with exercise during the holiday. ( )64. How many kilometers did Gao Yuqi run every day during the holiday? A. At least one kilometer. B. At least two kilometers. C. At least three kilometers. D. At least four kilometers. ( )65. What did the schools require the students to do during the winter holiday? A. To exercise. B. To be volunteers. C. To have a rest. D. To do a survey. ( )66. What do the students have to do when they finish exercising in Gao' s school? A. To call their teachers. B. To put their plans online. C. To ask their parents to sign off on their plans. D. To post exercise photos in their classes' QQ groups. ( )67. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to exercise during the winter holiday. B. Exercising is a big challenge for many students. C. Physical education test scores are important now. D. Exercising is becoming part of students' homework. D “Okay，I'm going to ask my parents right now.

Another look passed between his parents. Mr Hume said，“If Kent's parents say it's okay，it's okay with us. ” “Thanks，Dad! Thanks，Mum！”said Sam. He ran to the phone fast and called Kent.
