How do you like to go to school like this one in Oxford, England? There are no real classes. The students go from one group to another when they want to. You may find students of fourteen, sixteen or twenty - one years old all in the same group. They work at their own studies. Nobody tells them what they should do or what they shouldn’t do.
The day I visited, school began at nine. Some students were listening to their own lessons. Others were watching TV on physics. A group was working in the library. I didn’t see anybody just sit doing nothing. Everybody was studying.
At lunch time I could see students working, too. They were talking about their lessons while they were eating. When you think of those students, you can be sure it is one of the best schools in the world.

举一反三
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.

Who do you admire(崇拜)?Different people may have different ideas.
If you’re a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is probably the one in your mind. If you study music or play an instrument, perhaps the person you admire most is gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.
We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect to them. However, we shouldn’t neglect those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days serving the public. They show great dedication(奉献).However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?
So next time when you appreciate famous people, don’t forget those who are common around you.

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres -500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
小题1: What did scientists find in September 2010?
A.A planet with water. B.A planet similar to the earth.
C.A planet without life.D.A planet near the earth.
小题2:According to the article, Gliese 581g ________.
A.is at the right distance from its starB.moves around the earth
C.is as far away from us as the moonD.can be reached in about 220 years
小题3: Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.
A.the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B.the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C.the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D.the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?
A.Gliese 581g, a Likely Living PlanetB.Gliese 581, a Likely Living Planet
C.Gliese 581g and Its StarD.Gliese 581g and Radiation
