Bridge of Hope School is a private school. It was set up in Kalangala about two years ago. Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children, many of whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention. Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.

The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes. As the children progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children in the primary classes is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.

The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very formal and insists on children wearing uniforms（制服）. Discipline is strict and the children are well-behaved. Only English can be spoken and not the local language. Although English is the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own language for the first three years.

School starts at 7 a．m. and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week. They also study during the holiday.

1.What can we learn about government schools?

A. The classes consist of a large number of students.

B. Teachers don’t speak English in class.

C. Children always work very hard.

D. It is free for children to attend them.

2.Parents send their children to Bridge of Hope School because they _______.

Ms Wood said that she was the oldest student on campus, and was known as “Granny Franny”. The lady is just like a grandma away from home. The students wanted to vote Ms Wood as the homecoming queen, but the granny refused to accept the honor. So instead, the school honored her during half time at a football game by making her become the homecoming granny queen, the first award of its kindness ever given by the school. Ms Wood got a standing ovation(鼓掌) and was presented with flowers. To prove her popularity further, she had three male youths holding on her arm for the evening ceremony.

Ms Wood took classes in finance, history and literature at university. She said after being widowed two years before, she needed something different to do. When she got to college, she said it was a little surreal being surrounded by the young ones. “I think this is unbelievable and dreamlike to do this,” she said.

Eager to get into her little classmate circle, she handed out homemade business cards with her phone number and e-mail address, so that the students could reach out to her. The cards also featured a photo of her, saying “about 10 years ago”.

Laugh-lab, an experiment set up more than a year ago, established that the British, Irish, New Zealanders and Australians prefer a play on words and that the French, Danes and Belgians have a taste for the surreal（超现实主义的）. Americans and Canadians, _______, laugh at jokes showing one group’s superiority over another. The Germans apparently have the _______ sense of humor -- if only because they have no national preference, and therefore find almost anything funny.

The winning joke was the product of international selection. It was posted by Gurpal Gosall, a 31-year-old psychologist from Manchester. This joke, according to Richard Wiseman, founder of Laugh-lab, _______ all. It also contained the three _______ that were found central to humor: a sense of superiority, an unexpected response, and a sad feeling. The joke was that:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seems to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: ‘My friend is dead! What can I do?’ The operator, in a clam, soothing voice says: ‘Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s _______.’ There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: ‘OK, now that?’

Dr Gosall and _______ the joke for years. He said: ‘It makes people feel better ... reminds you that there’s always someone out there doing something more _______ than you.’ It was one of a series of jokes read to a volunteer who was being given a brain scan. With each joke, a specific area at the front of the volunteer’s brain lit up. There was also a reaction in an area linked to _______, showing recognition of an old joke. ‘It _______ other research, because if people have damage to that part of the brain, then they lose their sense of humor,’ Dr Wiseman said.

There were other ____________. The Laugh-lab computers counted the number of words in every joke that people submitted（提交）. According to the data, jokes containing 103 are the funniest. Interestingly, the winning joke is 102 words long-almost the ____________ length for a joke!

Many of the jokes submitted contained references to ____________. The researchers found that jokes mentioning ducks were seen as funnier than other jokes. Perhaps it’s because of their webbed feet or their odd shapes. ____________, the implication is clear -- if you are going to tell a joke involving an animal, make it a duck.

The Laugh-lab computer also recorded the date and time that each person from the UK ____________ the jokes in Laugh-lab. Careful analysis of the data revealed that people found the jokes funniest on the 7th October at 6:03 in the evening. Perhaps they have ____________ discovered the funniest moment of the year!

Fifty-two years ago in the USA, a little black girl named Ruby Bridges arrived at her new primary school. The school was in New Orleans, Louisiana.

As she walked toward the school’s front door, an angry crowd of people shouted at her. United States marshals walked with her. A marshal is a police officer. They were there to protect the first grader. That’s because the people didn’t want Ruby to go inside the school. But the 6-year-old walked into the school anyway. As she did, she marched into history books.

The day was Nov. 14, 1960. On that morning, little Ruby became one of the first African Americans to attend an all-white primary school in the South.

Before then, the law in many states said that black children could not attend the same schools as white children. People of different races also had to use separate public restrooms. It was called segregation. That is when people of different races are kept separate.

U.S. leaders worked to end segregation. They helped bring civil rights to all Americans. Those are the rights mean that all people should be treated equally. A few months before Ruby started school, a federal court (联邦法庭) had just ordered an end to school segregation in New Orleans.

By the time Ruby started the second grade, there were no more angry people outside her school. There were other African American students in her class. Today, children of all races go to school together.

Bridges said she was never scared to go to school during the first grade. She wasn’t really afraid and she didn’t really know what was going on at the time.

1.Why was Ruby Bridges famous in the American history?

A．She served on the U.S. federal court.

B．She got along well with the U.S. marshals.

C．She helped end school segregation in New Orleans.

D．She brought all rights to the Americans with U.S. leaders.

A．White and black children couldn’t study in the same school.

B．All people should have the right to be treated equally.

C．Different races can use the same public convenience.

D．Students of all races should be able to attend school together.

3.What do you think of the U.S. leaders’ work to end segregation?

C．Successful.                            D．Confusing.
