    To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

    Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!”says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
    The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote (投票)each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school money, and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
    When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
    【小题1】What's special about the school?
    A．There is nobody but students there.

    【小题2】What do the students do in the school?
    A．They learn everything there from the staff members.
    B．They grow up there without learning anything.
    C．They spend all the time with their parents.
    D．They do whatever they are interested in.
    【小题3】The school seems to believe that children________.
    A．learn best when they are doing what they want
    B．are too young to learn anything by themselves
    C．can look after themselves without any help
    D．can't go to college without any hard work
    【小题4】The last paragraph wants to tell us that_         .
    A．the writer doesn't like the idea of the school
    B．the school is quite successful in its work
    C．most of the parents don't believe in the school
    D．younger students learn better there than older ones
    【小题5】The underlined word career in the last paragraph most probably means_.
    A. family   B. money    C. lifestyle   d. job

    Ding-Dong！
    “Jason, honey? Can you answer the door?”
    “I am busy, mom！” Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to this point in the game. He couldn’t stop now.
    Ding-Dong！Mom′s footsteps approached the front door.
    “Jason, it’s your friend Todd.” Mom called from the doorway.
    Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room. “ Jason！I need a partner for playing basketball. ”He sounded excited.
    Jason snorted. “No way, Todd. I′m playing a game here.”
    Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away, “ I almost died because of you！”
    Todd looked at Jason′s mother. Jason’s mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. “Why don′t you play basketball with your friend?” Jason’s mother suggested.
    “Tomorrow, maybe…” There were more levels to beat tomorrow, though, Maybe he had played tomorrow. He’d have to see what mood he was in. He thought he heard footsteps walking away, but he was too busy beating the next level to care.
    An hour later, Jason’s father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn′t even hear his name being called to the table. He didn′t hear his father walk at behind him and ask him to turn the game off, either.
    When the screen suddenly went black and his father’s angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally heard. “No more game for a month.” Jason′s father shouted at him. “You don’t play basketball, you don′t come to dinner, and you don′t do your chores. We′ll make you do something else before you play any more.”
    Jason nodded slowly. He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been playing quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down his friends, his family, and himself by paying too much.
    He′d try harder in the future.
    【小题1】What did Todd ask Jason to do?

    A．He thought that his father was too strict with him.
    B．He found that playing computer games was quite interesting.
    C．He realized it was an unhealthy habit to play games without dinner.
    D．He couldn’t spend all day playing games, because he had other duties.
