     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". 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 of learning." At Sudbury Valley School, you will find
children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano,
climbing trees, or just running 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 (投票) each-even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school money, and even which staff they want and do not
want anymore.
     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 the time have
successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
51. What's special about the school?
A. There is nobody but students there.
B. All the students are of the same age.
C. There are no classes for the students.
D. There are no rules in the school.
2. What do the students do in the school?
A. They learn everything there from the staff members.
B. They grow up there without learning anything.
C. They spend all the time with their parents.
D. They do whatever they are interested in.
3. The school seems to believe that children ________.
A. learn best when they are doing what they want
B. are too young to learn anything by themselves
C. can look after themselves without any help
D. can't go to college without any hard work
4. The last paragraph wants to tell us that ________.
A. the writer doesn't like the idea of the school
B. the school is quite successful in its work
C. most of the parents don't believe in the school
D. younger students learn better there than older ones
5. The underlined word career in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. family
B. money
C. lifestyle
d. job

        To take good notes, you need to be able to do two things very quickly: first, you must understand main
topic; second, your hand must work as fast as your ears so that you can write down as much information as
possible.
        You don‘t have to learn how to write down what you hear. But you do need to practice a few simple skills
to help you to be good at note-taking. Also, you should learn how to write only the most important words in
short forms from each sentence without taking notice of the rest. 
        In the old days, people sent telegrams to each other. When they did it, they had to pay by the word, and it
was expensive. That is why they sent very short telegrams which included only the most important words.         Let’s compare these two examples:
     ●"I will be arriving tomorrow, Monday, April 15,on TWA flight number 222, at JFK airport."
     ●"Arrive 15th TWA 222 JFK"
         Which would be more expensive? 
         When you take notes, you have a similar problem. In this case it is not money, but time. For that reason,
it is a good idea to practice listening for only the most important sentences, and only the most important words
in those sentences.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面各題。
1. To take good notes, first, you must understand main ______.
2. Second, your hand must work as ______ as your ears.
3. Also  you should learn how to write only the important  words  ______ from each sentence.
5. The writer's purpose is ______.

Dear Brad, ?
      In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the
10th grade and choose a good school to study in. Now I am trying my best to achieve this. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. ① I am so busy with my
school-work and duties as monitor that I don't have enough time to keep a balance between them. Gradually
I become lazy. ② The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance
as class monitor. Her words really discouraged me. ?
     What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as class monitor? I must do my best in school because
how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life. Being
class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me to be a good leader. ③ I
don't want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how to
choose??
                                                                                                                                                Yours, ?
