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.
B. All the students are of the same age.
C. There are no classes for the students.
D. There are no rules in the school.
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.
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
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
B. money
C. lifestyle
d. job

to ice, it expands (膨胀). The force of water expanding is so great that it will break the hardest metal. Water
is used in car engines (发动机) to keep them cool while they run,and if this water is allowed to freeze in
winter it can break the iron block of the engine. That is why antifreeze is necessary.
Water freezes at 0℃;the usual kind of antifreeze will not freeze until the temperature is -40℃. A
mixture (混合物) of five parts of water and four parts of antifreeze will prevent freezing at -18℃;four
parts of water and five parts of antifreeze reduce this to -22℃.
Alcohol is a kind of good antifreeze, but when the air is running it becomes hot and the alcohol boils away,
so it must be changed very often. Most people use antifreeze that does not boil away when the engine is
running. There are several chemicals that do this. One of the most popular is called ethylene glycol.

D. any mixture
B. make people buy antifreeze
C. tell us that cars need antifreeze
D. show us how to protect car engines
Parents and teachers think it will make a better learning environment at school, but some students don"t like
their school uniforms. So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?
In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called "gakuran" which have dark jackets with stand-up
collars and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called "sailor fuku", which look like European naval
(海军) uniforms.
Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long grey or black
pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer
school dresses during the summer term. In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th
Century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think
uniforms make students lose their personalities (个性).
For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden
(经济负担). Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.
In a word, love it or hate it, school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you"d
better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

of paper. I told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! That"s a lot! As a teacher,
it"s my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write.
Writing is easy if you"re careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character.
Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. You"ll be amazed at what
you discover.
Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read,
step by step:
● Create great characters. If you know your characters well, they"ll write the story for you.
● Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can
make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers.
● Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the
conflict (争端); things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day!
● Balance is the key. Remember, when writing, it doesn"t hurt to add some humor (幽默).
