What do you call a school with no tests,no grades,no classes,and no teachers? Students of the Met School and their parents think it to be the best school in the world.
The school is in Rhode Island,the USA. Dennis Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired from two other schools,because many parents of the school students were happy with his unusual ideas. The school takes poor kids who are failing at schools. Nearly everybody has already given up these students and their parents want to try anything. The Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas.
“The word that most kids use when they talk about high school is ‘boring”” says Littky. “But no one would say the Met was boring. ” Advisors ( not teachers) work with small groups of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time learning real-life skills,such as working for business,spending time with government people,and helping teach younger children. Instead of tests,the students give shows about their work outside school.
In fact,students work harder here than in other schools. All the students from the Met graduate and can choose to go to a good university. Now,Bill Gates is starting schools like this one around the USA.
1. think (s) that the Met School is the best.
A. The headmaster of the Met School
B. The student outside the Met School
C. All the students and their parents from the Met School
D. The teachers at the Met School
2. What do most high school students think of normal schools?
A. Interesting. B. Relax.
C. Boring. D. Exciting.
3. What does the underlined word “graduate” in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?

C. 結(jié)束 D. 搬離

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so,too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table,when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you,when someone says you have done your work well,or you have bought a nice thing,or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends,but also between parents and children,brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you,you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them,say “Excuse me” first,and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

It is surprising many everyday English that Americans use today come from the card game of poker.
For example,you hear them say like ace (王牌) in the hole. In poker and most card games,the ace is the highest and most useful card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game,a player does not show this card to the other players. The players bet money each time they get another card. No one knows until the end of the game. Often,the ace in the hole wins the game.
Another everyday English,dealing off the bottom,now means “be not honest” in business. And when someone tells you that the cards are bad for you,maybe you really have a chance to win.
In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents (對(duì)手) know if your cards are good or bad. So having a poker face is important. A poker face never shows either good or bad feelings.
You can do a better job if you hold your cards close to your vest. You hold your cards close to you so no one can see what you have. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You are keeping your plans secret.
1. In card games,an ace is usually card.
A. the most useful B. the biggest
C. the oldest D. the most beautiful
2. If somebody says that you are dealing off the bottom,he may.
A. like you B. want to talk with you
C. be angry with you D. be very happy
3. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest tells you
A. to put your clothes on the cards
B. to tell your friends your feelings
C. not to make others know your secret
D. not to tell others your address
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. You will probably succeed if you have an ace in the hole.
B. Everybody will like you if you deal off the bottom.
C. A poker face never shows bad feelings except good ones.
D. The person who has a poker face will win the game at last.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. An Ace in the Hole
B. Dealing Off the Bottom
C. A Poker Face
D. Expressions from the Poker Game
