To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers—only “staff (员工) 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 to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop him or her!” 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 and can’t realize their potential.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit 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 in which 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 members 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 the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
24.What is the main topic of the article
A.Children’s hobbies.
B.An unusual school.
C.A school without rules.
D.Education in the US.
25.What does the school believe
A.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
B.Teachers cannot teach children well.
C.Learning is for adults—children should only play.
D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
26.What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds
A.They are too young to learn anything.
B.They are very naughty.
C.They want to be outside all the time.
D.They love learning.
27.Which of the following is correct in the school meetings
A.The older children have more power than the younger children.
B.A child has more power than an adult.
C.Everybody has equal power.
D.The younger children have more power than the older children.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.
Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall By the way, have you ever been there ” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it ”
“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’ ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.
28.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.

C.I had talked too much
D.I had to stop talking

Learning a new language can be a big challenge at any age; however, it seems to be especially difficult to master a foreign tongue as we age.
When we are growing up, we are building a language system in our mind, which allows us to communicate freely. If we start a new language after youth, however, we are adding a new set of rules to our mind. That is why we find it difficult to learn a new language—we’re building a new speech system when we are not young any more. Why is it easier for kids to learn a new language Children are relatively more active, open-minded and their language system is not fixed, meaning it is less work for them to pick up new things.
The good news is that learning a language isn’t really that hard if you’re opening your mind. But it does take hard work and motivation to achieve your goals.
It’s important to remember what you’re actually learning is how to communicate in a new way with other human beings. If you often share your daily experience with others in that language, what you’re learning is related to you. For example, if I’m learning Italian, I would never remember how to say “Dove e la biblioteca ” or “Where is the library ” but I will always remember how to say “Ti piace il caffe ” or “Do you like some coffee ”
In addition, TV shows, films and video games in foreign languages are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language. Anything that relates you to the language and culture is great, so long as you find it enjoyable.
Adding a single new word to your vocabulary can be interesting and rewarding. The road to fluency can be hard, but the view along the way is really amazing, so it’s OK if you are driving slowly.
32.What affects language learning according to the first two paragraphs
A.Money. B.Age. C.Mind. D.Work.
33.What can we infer about language learning from paragraph 2
A.Adults can pick up new things quickly.
B.Children have a fixed language system.
C.Adults find the new rules easy to remember.
D.Children have more advantages than adults in language learning.
34.What is helpful for learning a language according to paragraphs 4 and 5
A.Using it in daily life. B.Playing video games.
C.Going to the library. D.Taking down its rules.
35.What may be the best title for the passage
A.How to Build up Your Vocabulary
B.Language Learning: Chance or Challenge
C.Why do Children Learn Faster Than Adults
D.Is It too Late to Master a Foreign Language
