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 (职员)”. 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 for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will allow children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run 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 each — even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget（预算）, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
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 time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
1.What does the school believe?
A. Teachers cannot teach children well.
B. Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C. Learning is for adults — children should only play.
D. Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
2.What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?
A. They love learning.
B. They are very naughty.
C. They want to be outside all the time.
D. They are too young to learn anything.
3.What happens to the children after they leave this school?
A. They do the same things as children from other schools.
B. They have problems getting into college or getting a job.
C. They usually do very unusual jobs.
D. They are not successful in their business.
4.What is the main topic of the article?
A. Children’s hobbies B. Education in the US
C. A school without rules D. An unusual school

Suddenly my coach ran up to me and picked me up, yelling, "You did it．Mark! You finished, son．You finished" He looked at me straight in the eyes, waving a piece of paper in his hand．It was my goal （目标 ） for the day which I had forgotten．I had given it to him before class． He read it aloud to everyone．It simply said, "I, Mark Brown, will finish the mile run tomorrow, come what may．" My heart lifted．My tears went away, and I had a smile on my face as if I had eaten a banana．My classmates clapped．It was then I realized winning isn't always finishing first．Sometimes winning is just finishing．

请认真阅读下面这篇文章，根据要求写一篇短文。
In most schools, students in one class have the same schedule (时间表). But at Beijing National Day School, each of the 4,174 students can build their own class timetable.
The school has used this alternative (可供选择的) education system since 2011. Students choose courses of different difficulty levels and categories (类别) based on their interests and abilities. They don’t have fixed classrooms or regular (固定的) classmates. Instead, they have more than 400 courses and 272 school clubs to choose from. The school hopes students can become masters of their own study and find their potential (潜能).
Students also like the system. Tian Yatong, 14, said she learns to be responsible (负责任的) for herself through the system.
She has chosen level 2 (the medium level) for math based on her current (当前的) abilities even though she has passed the level 3 tests.
“I like the teacher of level 2. I think it works best for me,” said Tian.
The system also “opens a new world” for students, said 13-year-old Li Zixuan.
Li was amazed to find that she could learn cooking, sewing , making films and many other interesting things at the school.
“You’re sure to find one that interests you,” Li said.
Li has chosen a cooking course this term. Now she can make different cakes at home for her parents.
“I may become a pastry (糕点) cook one day. Who knows?” Li said.
