     Called "The School of the Future" and created with help from software giant Microsoft, a recently-
opened public school in Philadelphia, US, is believed to be the first in the world to combine innovation
teaching methods with the latest technology. At this school, students work on wireless laptops, teachers
eschew traditional subjects for real-world topics and parents can track their children‘s work on the Internet.
     The school, which costs the school district $63 million to build, is free and has no entrance exams.
The 170 ninth-grade students were selected at random from l,500 applicants.
     Philadelphia School District Chief Executive Paul Vallas told students they would be observed by other
schools around the world. "You have become instant role models," Vallas said. "People are going to be
watching you."
     Students still sit in classrooms, but lessons rely heavily on information found on the Internet and on
interactive software. Students will be allowed to learn at their own pace. Homework is done on the computer
and sent to the teacher for grading and parents can access to the school‘s network to read the teacher’s
feedback on their children’s progress.
     Traditional education fails to teach students the skills of problem-solving, critical thinking and effective
communication, which they need to succeed in the 21st century, Principal Shirley Grover said in an interview.
"It‘s not about memorizing certain algebraic equations (代數(shù)方程式) and then presenting them in 8 test,"
Grover said. "It’s about thinking how maths might be used to solve a quality of water problem or how it
might be used to determine whether or not we are safe in Philadelphia from the bird flu."
     David Terry, 14, said he was hoping to "turn over a new leaf" after discipline problems in his previous
school left him with an "average to really bad" academic record. "This is a great opportunity for me," he said.
"In other schools, I would not _____."

選做題：閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文的要求答題。（注意：問題后的詞數(shù)要求。）
     The rise of the so-called "boomerang generation (回巢族)" is reported in official figures showing that
almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents. By contrast, only one in eight
university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago, research from the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) shows.
     It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents
in their late 20s.
     With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims
of a "generation of mummy's boys".
     Rising housing prices, increasing student debts and the effects of depression on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
_____.
     Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the"boomerang generation" because
of the trend toward returning to the family home.
     Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their
parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.
     But experts warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing dark future than
simply a desire to save money.
     While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued
to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has reversed.
     Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than
760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest.

    of young men living in the family home probable doubles that of young women in their late 20s.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    answer within 5 words.) 
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
