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 16 .
Firstly, there are no 17 . All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only ‘staff members (管理人员)’. The idea behind this is that you do not need to 18 children learn because children want to learn anyway. ‘You do not need to say to three-year-old kids, “Go to 19 the secrets of nature.” You can’t stop 20 !’ says Daniel Greenberg, a founder (创始人) of the school. ‘But if you make children do 21 you want all day, they will lose all 22 for learning.’
At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, playing the piano, climbing trees, 23 just running around. Two boys 24 three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can 25 the rules. Every week, there is a school 26 where both children and staff have one vote each — even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, 27 to spend the school budget (预算), and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would 28 work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students 29 to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have become successful today. One of them is a musician and 30 is a computer scientist.
( )16. A. boring B. important C. common D. different
( )17. A. lessons B. students C. books D. playgrounds
( )18. A. ask B. encourage C. make D. allow
( )19. A. create B. discover C. hide D. represent
( )20. A. me B. them C. us D. they
( )21. A. what B. who C. whom D. whether
( )22. A. value B. taste C. importance D. energy
( )23. A. and B. but C. or D. so
( )24. A. spared B. used C. took D. spent
( )25. A. break B. keep C. decide D. obey
( )26. A. meeting B. experiment C. experience D. club
( )27. A. when B. how C. that D. why
( )28. A. never B. always C. often D. sometimes
( )29. A. go up B. go down C. go on D. go back
( )30. A. other B. another C. others D. the other

On a hot summer day, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house.
In a hurry to swim in the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not noticing that in the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming to the bank. His mother in the house saw the two as they got closer and closer. She quickly ran to the lake, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.
Hearing her voice, the little boy swam quickly to his mother, but he was too slow. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him, too.
The mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile caught his legs. There was a tug of war (拔河) between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother didn’t give up. A farmer happened to drive by. He heard her shouts, and then tried his best to kill the crocodile.
After spending weeks in the hospital, the little boy felt well. His legs were scarred (留?疤痕) by the animal and on his arms there were deep scars, too. His mother’s hands had deeper scars because she wouldn’t let go.
The newspaper reporter interviewed the boy. He asked the boy if he would show him his scars. The boy said to the reporter proudly, ‘Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.’

The Mystery
On November 5th, 1872, the Mary Celeste left New York to sail to Italy. The captain (船长), his wife and daughter and seven sailors were on board. But something terrible happened. The captain of another ship found the Mary Celeste floating (漂浮) in the middle of the sea on December 4th, 1872. The captain, his family and the sailors were not on the ship and were never found.
What happened? Why did the sailors and passengers leave the ship? The Mary Celeste was not broken. Everything was good. There was no fighting, no fire and no smoke sign. There was still plenty of food and drinking water left. There were signs that the captain, his family and the sailors had left the ship in a hurry. We could tell all these because there was half-eaten food on the table. The sailors also left all their clothing behind. Even their shoes were beside their beds.
How and when did the people leave the ship? Some people said that the lifeboat (救生艇) was still on the ship but others said it was missing. The captain’s diary was found on the ship and the last entry (登记) was made on November 24th. So, we could only guess that the happening time was between November 24th and December 4th.
An investigator (调查者) went aboard the ship several times to search for the answers to all these questions. But he could not find any. No one else could solve the mystery.
( )41. What was the Mary Celeste?
A. A train. B. A plane. C. A ship. D. A captain.
( )42. When was the Mary Celeste found?
A. On November 5th, 1872. B. On November 4th, 1872.
C. On November 24th, 1872. D. On December 4th, 1872.
( )43. Why was the event mysterious (神秘的)?
A. The Mary Celeste was broken.
B. The Mary Celeste did not move in the slightest.
C. The people on the Mary Celeste could not be found.
D. Some food and clothing were left on the Mary Celeste.
( )44. Which of the following was NOT found on the ship after the event?
A. Sign of fire. B. Food. C. Clothing. D. The captain’s diary.
( )45. Why is the event called a mystery?
A. The lifeboat was missing. B. Everyone left the Mary Celeste.

Dear Frank
I am sorry to hear that you quarrelled with your parents about playing mobile phone games.
You spent so much time playing games that you forgot when to sleep and you were too sleepy and tired to listen to the teachers in class the next day. You’ve become weak in your studies. Your mother got angry with you. You felt bad about this.
Firstly, I think you should stop playing games. You can use your mobile phone to search for information, and look up new words. It is a useful tool in your studies.
Secondly, you need to communicate with your parents and teachers, and let them know your problems. They will help you. At the same time, they will forgive you.
I hope my suggestions are of great value to you. Yours Tina
