　　Do you remember we agreed to circulate our ideas for our school project this year? Well, here is our suggestion and we in our school hope you will join us to develop it.

　　The idea came to us in the autumn of 2004. We were sitting in our class when our head teacher made an announcement. “There’ll be a new boy starting school tomorrow. He comes from the circus so he’ll be with us for a while.” Immediately there was whispering around the classroom. I heard remarks like “Those are dirty people”; “They eat raw meat”; and “Watch out for your bags”. The teacher must have heard them because she stopped the talking and said in a very serious voice: “Jake is our guest for as long as he stays here. Make sure you treat him well. I don’t want to hear any complaints about your behaviour to him.”

　　I was curious because it was the first time I had met anyone from a circus. Fortunately for me, the next morning, after being introduced to the class he sat in the only spare seat next to me. Of course I didn’t want to be nosy（管闲事的） but I couldn’t help looking at him sideways as I began my mathematics task. I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails. His shirt was clean but had been repaired in many places and his trousers were helped up by a wide, leather belt. As he seemed to have no handkerchief and was sniffing loudly, I passed him one of mine. Immediately the boys began to whisper “What did you do that for? Leave him be!” I concentrated on my work. From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the remarks too. He seemed to be having great difficulty with his work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly. He looked around as if for help. I looked around too. The teacher was busy so I leaned over and offered to explain the problems to him. As he listened his mouth split into a smile. His eyes lit up as if a light had been turned on and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm.

　　He finished them quickly and proudly presented them to the teacher. “Well done, Jake,” she approved. Jake smiled and was soon busy sorting out information and adding more of his own.

　　I thought about how Jake’s life would be. I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities （设施）were. So I decided to help. As it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade, I put forward this idea. Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans to improve the campsite. Hope you will join us.

　　56. Why did the students dislike Jake even before they saw him?

　　A. They must have heard bad stories about circus people.

　　B. They always judged a person by what he looks like.

　　C. The teacher hadn’t introduced Jake to them beforehand.

　　D. A newcomer was not welcome at that time.

　　57. What’s the author’s attitude towards Jake?

　　A. He copied the other boys’ behavior.

　　B. He was distant about what Jake’s life was like.

　　C. He couldn’t ignore what other people said about Jake.

　　D. He had sympathy for the poor and disadvantaged.

　　58. The author mentions how Jake did maths to show that _______.

　　A. the teacher was helpful and friendly

　　B. the maths problem was too hard for him

　　C. Jake was courageous and determined

　　D. the author was better at maths

　　59. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

　　A. To argue circus people should be treated fairly.

　　B. To ask the reader to join in their project.

　　C. To call on more people to help Jake.

　　D. To show what is in need for a circus.

　　A

　　I got my first driver’s license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.

　　I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?” Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.

　　I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.

　　About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.

　　Instead, they receive their elementary(初等)and high school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyber schools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.

　　The money for students to attend a cyber school comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyber schools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.

　　Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyber schools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

　　Whatever the judgment of cyber schools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyber school called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

　　Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.

　　Students at cyber schools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.

　　(

　　) 1. What do we know from the text about students of a cyber school?

　　A. They have to take long bus rides to school.

　　B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.

　　C. They receive money from traditional public schools.

　　D. They do well in traditional school programs.
