【正文】 kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble. Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison! Luckily, her neighbours, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. We haven39。t met her yet, but she39。s 75 years old and she needs some help, said Sam Adams, one of the boys. That39。s the least we could do. The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪機(jī)）and came to Mrs. Lane39。s house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbours saw what was going on and joined in the effort. Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs. Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（感動(dòng)得落淚）. I cannot believe this, she said. They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn39。t even know their names. As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her. （1）What can we know about Mrs. Lane?

Of course, the answer is No here in China. In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida, students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college, while others do not. At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in, and possibly even find the field（領(lǐng)域）they would like to go into after finishing school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology, math, a foreign language, or study skills like car repair（修理）. Some people think this is a good idea, because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future, and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree. They think it will make it difficult for students to discover different possibilities（潛力）.They point out that fourteenyearold teenagers are too young to know what they want to do in the future. What do you think? Would you like to be able to choose your own classes? Many useful changes have been made in education, but seeing the differences in each student is also important.
