own school within a school. They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the
usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors
students.
Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one another"s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term,
the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.
The students also designed their own course. In addition to some regular courses, they each took on
an "individual project", learning to play the piano or to cook, writing a novel or making a video about
domestic (国内的) violence. At the end of the term,they performed their new skills in front of the entire
school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a "collective project" that had social
significance. Because they felt the whole experience had been so life - changing, they ended
up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.
The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study, the students have high motivation
and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks
teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity
to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished,
more engaged and more knowledgeable.
The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and
personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience, learn
things that matter to them and learn together.
B. The teachers monitored the students" homework.
C. The students themselves solved all their problems.
D. The teachers evaluate the students" performances.
B. tended to escape from the whole society
C. were unwilling to share their experiences
D. focused on self-study and working together
B. all the students had failed their math courses
C. the students have freedom to design their lessons
D. the project was mainly concerned with math courses
B. they have better backgrounds
C. they have supportive teachers
D. they are owners of their education
B. Let kids rule their own school within a school
C. Offer students few opportunities to do anything

Lowood School
There were about eighty girls in the schoolroom, divided into four classes. The oldest girls were in the fourth class, and the youngest were in the first class. I was in the first class.
All four classes had their lessons in the same large and very cold schoolroom. We had to sit there quietly, not saying a word, until the teachers came into the room together. The lessons-Math, History,French-were not at all interesting, and always followed the same pattern. First, we read some pages in a book and
then our teacher asked us questions. I tried to listen, but I soon got bored .
After four hours, there was a lunch break, and we all went outside. Because it was winter, it was very
cold. Very soon, a bell rang, and lessons started again.
Three weeks passed. One afternoon, the head teacher, whose name was Miss Temple, came into the
schoolroom. Mr. Brocklehurst was with her, and we all stood up as they entered. I stood behind an older
girl because I did not want Mr. Brocklehurst to see me.
Mr. Brocklehurst walked slowly round the room. Everybody was very quiet. I closed my eyes and
wished he would leave. My hands started to shake, and I dropped my book.
Mr. Brocklehurst stopped walking and looked straight at me.
"Ah! The new girl," he said. "Come here, Jane Eyre!" Then he pointed at two of the older girls. "You two girls-put Jane Eyre on that high chair!" he said.
"Look at Jane Eyre, everybody!" Mr. Brocklehurst said. "This child is bad. She will be punished! Miss
Temple! Teachers! Girls Do not talk to this child."
Then he spoke to me again. "Jane Eyre, you must stand on that chair for two hours," he said. "You are a bad girl!"
That evening, as I cried and cried alone, Miss Temple saw me. She came to me and held my hand. She was very kind.
"You are a good pupil, Jane," she said. "And you are not a bad girl. I am your friend."
"Thank you, Miss Temple," I said.

Nowadays in China,parents care about their children’s education more than anything else. They spend a
lot coaching their children in their studies; those who have time or are not able to do it have tutors hired for their children. Many have their children sent to after-class schools. Some others even have tired to improve their living environment. It seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for their children.
The situation can be explained by the following reasons. First of all, the swift development of China’s
economy is calling for more and more skilled and knowledgeable workers and professionals(专业人士). Second, the awareness of today’s parents’ has been growing that success in this world depends more on
skills and knowledge than on anything else. Skills and knowledge means competitiveness(竞争). At last,
with school education becoming more and more expensive, it is natural for parents to expect their children could become somebody or doing something great.
Of course, I’m happy to see much of parents’ attention paid to their children’s education. However, they should not go too far to ignore their children’s abilities and personal qualities. I think the first thing to lean is how to survive and how to be a qualified citizen. if parents can try their best to help children’s characters, it will bring a happy life to their children when they grow up.

enabling them to explore the outside universe al1d conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that
exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what
lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if
French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the
sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named" SeaOrbiter", consists of two areas-one
above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where
scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind,
he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the
latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD
player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an
accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million-per ship!
However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global
warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince
governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five
of these amazing ships soon!
B. Because it"s too cold in deep ocean.
C. Because time for experiments is too limited.
D. Because it"s dangerous to observe the sea life.
B. get around
C. travel through
D. move into
B. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
C. it"s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
D. researchers on Jacques"ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
B. To find supply for medicine in the future.
C. To draw governments" attention to the construction of the ship.
D. To solve the global warming.
B. A new way to explore the deep oceans
C. A great architect-Jacques Rougerie
D. Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter
