Passage 14
March 28th started like any other school day. 1 2:20 pm, I was writing notes in geography class 2 my chair suddenly moved a little. Our teacher, Mr. Wang, stopped teaching and looked at his phone. “A 7.9 magnitude earthquake just 3 Myanmar (缅甸),” he told us quietly. The classroom became full of soft talking, though 4 only felt small shakes here in Yunnan.
During the break, my classmates and I came around the smart whiteboard to watch the news. We saw 5 buildings near Myanmar’s border (边境). Zhang Ming pointed at the screen and said loudly, “My cousin lives in Ruili, only 200 kilometers from the 6 of the earthquake!” Everyone looked worried. Then our class decided to do something to help.
First, we used 7 chalk to draw Myanmar’s flag on posters and wrote “Yunnan Stands With You!” and “Stay Strong!”. Next, at 3 pm, our school did a surprise earthquake drill (演练). We all 8 under our desks quickly, just like we practiced every month. After that, I gave my lunch money for the next week—50 yuan—to buy 9 for students in Myanmar.
That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about the earthquake. “Are students in Myanmar trapped (困住) like in the Sichuan 10 we learned about?” I asked my mom. The next Monday at school, Chen Yue’s eyes were red 11 she cried while watching rescue (救援) videos after dinner yesterday. “I wish I could help carry rocks!” she said. But when our teacher showed us Chinese 12 boxes arriving in Myanmar, we all clapped and smiled.
After the earthquake, many things changed. Workers came to 13 our school walls for cracks (裂纹). My dad bought a fire extinguisher, and my mom put bottled water under my bed. Now I 14 keep my shoes beside my bed, just in case (以防万一).
Before going to sleep, I looked at the earthquake news on my phone again. I whispered to myself, “I’m just a student, but maybe my small help can 15 someone’s dark night a little brighter.”

The chemicals (化学药品) he used to clean his instruments mixed with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This 14 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye.

Passage 14
March 28th started like any other school day. 1 2:20 pm, I was writing notes in geography class 2 my chair suddenly moved a little. Our teacher, Mr. Wang, stopped teaching and looked at his phone. “A 7.9 magnitude earthquake just 3 Myanmar (缅甸),” he told us quietly. The classroom became full of soft talking, though 4 only felt small shakes here in Yunnan.
During the break, my classmates and I came around the smart whiteboard to watch the news. We saw 5 buildings near Myanmar’s border (边境). Zhang Ming pointed at the screen and said loudly, “My cousin lives in Ruili, only 200 kilometers from the 6 of the earthquake!” Everyone looked worried. Then our class decided to do something to help.
First, we used 7 chalk to draw Myanmar’s flag on posters and wrote “Yunnan Stands With You!” and “Stay Strong!”. Next, at 3 pm, our school did a surprise earthquake drill (演练). We all 8 under our desks quickly, just like we practiced every month. After that, I gave my lunch money for the next week—50 yuan—to buy 9 for students in Myanmar.
That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about the earthquake. “Are students in Myanmar trapped (困住) like in the Sichuan 10 we learned about?” I asked my mom. The next Monday at school, Chen Yue’s eyes were red 11 she cried while watching rescue (救援) videos after dinner yesterday. “I wish I could help carry rocks!” she said. But when our teacher showed us Chinese 12 boxes arriving in Myanmar, we all clapped and smiled.
After the earthquake, many things changed. Workers came to 13 our school walls for cracks (裂纹). My dad bought a fire extinguisher, and my mom put bottled water under my bed. Now I 14 keep my shoes beside my bed, just in case (以防万一).
Before going to sleep, I looked at the earthquake news on my phone again. I whispered to myself, “I’m just a student, but maybe my small help can 15 someone’s dark night a little brighter.”
