20、 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
21、 learn, because children want to learn anyway. You do not need to say to a three-year-old, Go explore your environment. You cant 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 Schoo
22、l, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, 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 scho
23、ol 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, 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
24、 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.28. What is the main topic of the article?A. Education in the US. B. Childrens hobbies. C. A school
25、without rules. D. An unusual school.29. What does the school believe?A. Children learn best when they do what they want to do. B. Teachers cannot teach children well.C.

26、berg say about three-year-olds?A. They want to be outside all the time. B. They love learning.C. They are very naughty. D. They are too young to learn anything.31. Who has the most power in the school meetings?A. The older children have more power then the younger children.B. A child has more power
27、than an adult.C. Everybody has equal power.D. The younger children have more power than the older children.DWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be diffe
28、rent reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history. The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced（确信的，深信的） that the world would be a much better place if more
29、people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history. Perhaps at least in teaching history to my childre
30、n I can do a small part in changing this. A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current（现在的，最近的） political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less
31、(更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be. I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspir
32、ed by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish（完成） things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accompli
33、sh what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.32. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes. B. Man
34、y people arent clever enough to learn well from the past. C. Many people feel it hard to understand history. D. Many people have no interest in studying history.33. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _. A. it makes the current political situation go smoothly B. it helps
35、us understand why things are the way they are. C. it helps us realize the importance of historical events D. it helps people accept the present situation where they live34. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to teach history effectively. B. How to get more people to study h
36、istory.C. Some negative reasons for studying history. D. Some bad historical figures.35.
