At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 2 . Although we all lived “in”, 3 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 4 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 5 class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this never lasted long.
The 6 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 7 ; never did we have to 8 “stand up”, “speak out”. I don't 9 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 10 school, but what a difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had no classes in spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 12 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms-small ones 13 , but unusual. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 14 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 15 the angles (角度) and so on. I didn't take math. I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the things with numbers. That's 16 ! 17 , I think I am a 18 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20 .

In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.
In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London. She was then only semi-conscious and on the “Dangerously III” list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confused by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby’s case, a nurse asked to speak to them. “Excuse me,” said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, “but I think the baby is suffering from thallium(铊) poisoning.”
“What makes you think that?” Dr. Brown asked, “Thallium poisoning is extremely rare.”
“ A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie,” Nurse Maitlan explained. “In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They’re exactly the same as the baby’s”
“You’re very thoughtful and you may be right,” another doctor said. “We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether it’s thallium or not.”
Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide used in Qatar.

A. a doctor in Qatar B. Nurse Mitlan

A. had never met this baby
B. had spent a long time studying the baby’s case
C. visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith

3. It seemed likely from the passage that the baby’s illness had something to do with ____.
A. a dangerous pair of glasses
B. the water in Qatar
C. a harmful substance used to kill insects
D. a dad writer
4. When the baby was sent to the hospital in London, her case was considered to be_____.
A. an urgent one B. quite a simple one
C. a usual one D. the result of thallium poisoning
