When Daniel woke up yesterday morning, he found he was a bit late for school, so he started running to catch the bus. Moments later, he saw a dog, but not its lead. He tripped over the lead and fell down. He jumped up quickly, went on running and got on the bus. After a while an old coach broke down in the middle of the road, and the driver couldn't move it. It was eight o'clock, the middle of the rush hour, so it soon created a terrible traffic jam. The bus driver tried to go round the coach. Unfortunately a taxi was coming in the opposite direction. The driver tried to stop the taxi, but he couldn't prevent the accident—the taxi crashed into the front of the bus! Luckily nobody was hurt.
When Daniel finally got to school out of breath, the science lesson had been on for five minutes. Daniel said sorry to the teacher and sat at his desk. He reached out for his school bag—no, it was nowhere to be found.
"Where is my school bag?" Daniel was puzzled. Suddenly he realized that he had left it on the bus. Bad luck!

A recent research shows that physical activity (体育活动) may help students do better in their classes. The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E. class.
Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.
Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations(解释):
"There are, first, physiological(生理的) explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen(氧气) to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones( 荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins(脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in class. Also, students who take part in
organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do.
All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs.
77. What led the researchers to do the studies?
A. Schools' cutting physical activity.
B. Their interest in physical activity.
C. The tests including about 55,000 children.
D. Kids' unsatisfying schooling performance.
78. How many countries took part in the studies?
A. 14.
B. 12
C. 2.
D. 3.
79. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage?
A. Getting more blood flow.
B. Better classroom behavior.
C. Feeling relaxed and refreshed.
D. Greater ability to organize activities.

八、短文7选5(5选5等)
Giving directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.

85. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, "Go north two miles(英里).
86. "
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." 87.
