I was never very neat 21 my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always, looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We 22 got tired of each other.
We broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “ Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes 23 (fly) at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I 24 tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden , a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and 25 (sweep) the floor, even on her side. I got 26 absorbed in my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up.

If you’re like most kids, you’ve probably made more than a few paper airplanes in your day. But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air & Space Museum’s first annual Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off in March 2015.
“ The purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kid’s interest in science and flight,” says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum.
About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how
airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes.
Arturo designed and built his airplane. When he finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest -- more than 75 feet!
As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, who took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo’s Desert Eagle.
Later a helicopter tried to life the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2,700 feet and then set the plane free.
Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces.
“ I felt happy but sad” Arturo say. “ It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.” But that was not the end of Arturo’s Desert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.
64. According to the text, the Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off competition A. has been held many times B. can only be entered by kids C. is to choose the largest plane D. is held by a team of designers
65. The underlined word “outdistancing” in Paragraph 4 means A. looking for B. believing in C. throwing away D. leaving behind 66. What do we know about the paper airplane Arturo built? A. It flew the highest B. It flew for 20 minutes C. It flew more 75 feet. D. It took him eight hour to build

B. was produced in many places C. was sold to a team of engineers D. was put on show in the museum 68. The text is mainly written to A. Help kids develop an interest in science B. Teach kids how to build life-size airplanes C. Introduce a boy and his large paper airplane
