What do you call a school with no tests, no grades, no classes, and no teachers? Students of the Met School and their parents think it to be the best school in the world.
The school is in Rhode Island, USA. Dennis Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired（解雇） from two other schools, because many parents of the school students were happy with his unusual ideas. The school takes poor kids who are failing(失败) at schools. Nearly(几乎) everybody has already given up （放弃）these students and their parents want to try anything. The Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas.
“The word that most kids use when they talk about high school is ‘boring’,” says Littky. “But no one would say the Met was boring.” Advisors(指导老师) (not teachers) work with small groups of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time learning real-life skills（技能）, such as working for business（生意）, spending time with government(政府) people, and helping teach younger children. Instead of（代替） tests, the students give shows about their work outside school.
In fact, students work harder here than in other schools. All the students from the Met graduate and can choose to go to a good university （大学）. Now, Bill Gates is starting schools like this one around the USA.
1.______ think(s) that the Met School is the best.
A. The headmaster of the Met School.
B. The student outside the Met School.
C. All the students and their parents from the Met School.
D. The teachers at the Met School.
2.What do most high school students think of normal（普通的） school?
A. Interesting. B. Relax. C. Boring. D. Exciting
3.What does the underlined word “graduate” in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 毕业 B. 离开 C. 结束 D. 搬离
4.What do the students do at the Met School?
A. They spend all their school time playing.
B. They keep giving shows about their school.
C. They only learn from working for business.
D. Almost half of the time, they learn real-life skills.

What do you do in a situation like this? You’re calling dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time－on buses， in restaurants， everywhere!
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we’ve all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation， but let the management take care of those noisy customers. You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules：
Off means off! Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places . If a sign says “turn off cell phones”， don’t use your phone. If you are allowed， speak softly and for a short time and try to move away form other people.
Lights off， phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
Pay attention! Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you’re going when you’re walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones， things are only going to get worse. So， the next time you’re getting ready to make a call， stop and consider the people around you.
1. The man talking on the cell phone loudly in the restaurant will ________.
A. talk for half an hour B. pay more for his meal
C. make other customers angry D. be driven out by the boss
2.Some people use cell phones in a rude way because____________.

Do you know what school life is like in Singapore? In Singapore, a class only lasts half an hour, but there are no breaks between classes. The students only have a 30-minute tea break after 3 or 4 classes. They do not do eye exercises. Yao Suyu said our eye exercises were unfamiliar(不熟悉)to her. “I’d like to introduce them to our school,” she said. “They’re very useful!”
In Singapore, school ends at 1:50 p.m. But students joined other classes after school such as dance clubs and choir(合唱团). Yao says she joins dance club twice a week and it lasts from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Singapore’s population (人口)includes Chinese, Indians(印度人), Malays(马来人 )and Westerners. But there is no special school for any one of the groups. The students in Yao’s school are mainly Chinese, Indians and Malays. “The Indian students take Indian language classes when we study Chinese,” said Yao. “But if an Indian student is interested in Chinese, he or she can study it, too.”
In Singaporean schools, teachers teach in English. It’s the official(官方的)language in Singapore. Singaporean students have to take different courses after school. Like most Singaporean students, Yao takes other courses in Chinese, math and English.
