Bangladesh(孟加拉) is an agricultural country between India and Burma. Storms from the Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year, and large areas of farming land are flooded(冲毁). The people are very poor.

Fewer than half of the country's children complete their primary education. When they are six or seven years old, many children leave school to work in the fields or at home. The rest of their "education" consists of looking after cattle, collecting firewood or doing household jobs.

Not long ago, an experimental school was opened near the capital, Dacca, to help poor children. There are only 120 children in the school, which has three classrooms. In each class, forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten. Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join.

The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching. They act as group monitors. Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practice what the teacher has taught.

There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school. Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older. Each group is promoted (升级)only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard. As a result, all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils. Nobody is left behind.

Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming, carpentry, health and running a home﹣as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. At school, pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older.

If pupils have to look after cattle or young children, they are allowed to bring them to school. If a child has to stay at home to help his parents, there is no scolding or punishment (责罚) at school. Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run. It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate(模仿) its methods.

Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method.

(1)Many people in Bangladesh work on farms.  

(2)Most children in Bangladesh complete their primary education.  

(3)In each group, the biggest or oldest pupil is made a monitor.  

(4)At the end of each school year, all the pupils move to a higher class.  

(5)At school, pupils learn to do almost all the tasks needed in adult life.  

Amanda Kitts is one of "tomorrow's people"﹣people who have artificial(人工的) body parts. She has a bionic(电子操控的)arm.

Now Kitts runs a day﹣care center. Children run up to her happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl. As she bends, Kitts puts her hands on her knees. For most people, this would be easy. However, just a few years ago, this was impossible for Kitts.

In 2006, Kitts was in a car accident. A truck crushed(挤坏) her left arm and the doctor had to cut it off. "I was angry, sad, depressed. I just couldn't accept it," she says. But then she heard about a new technique that could use the remaining nerves(神经) in her shoulder to control an artificial arm.

In a difficult operation, a doctor moved Kitts's nerves to different areas of her upper﹣arm muscles. For months, the nerves grew. Millimeter by millimeter, they moved deeper into their new homes. "At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐)," she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm. A research engineer worked with Kitts to make the computer programs match her real movements more and more closely.

Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect. She wants feeling in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is rough or smooth. She also needs feeling to do one of her favorite things﹣drink coffee. "The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip," she says. One time at a coffee shop, her hand kept closing until it crushed the cup. But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it…and clap my hands…to the songs my kids are singing."

(1)What is the difference between Kitts and normal people ?

One day Vimala and her new friend, Mary, were playing at school. Mary was a very quiet and shy girl but Vimala liked her. While jumping, Mary's glasses fell off and broke. Just then the bell rang and they had to hurry to their science class.

"Oh dear, I'm going to be as blind as a bat. But we'd better hurry. It's Miss Lee's class," said Mary.

At the start of the lesson, Miss Lee explained how to do the experiment to produce large crystals. Then she started to question the class. Nobody dared to give a wrong answer because Miss Lee was a very strict teacher. Miss Lee held up a clamp (夹具) and said, "What do we use this for? What do we call it?" All the girls looked down, while she looked at their heads for one to pick on. "Mary?" she finally asked.

Mary was sitting at the back of the class. She stood up and peered at Miss Lee, but she could not see clearly what the teacher was holding. She was nervous a bit and did not answer.

Miss Lee repeated her question. This time she spoke more slowly and there was anger in her voice.

"What is this used for?" she asked.

Vimala saw storm clouds climbing up to Miss Lee's face. She knew that the storm was about to burst on Mary, so she put up her hand. Miss Lee paid no attention to her and stared through narrowed eyes at Mary, waiting for an answer.

Mary did not know what to say. She looked to her left and right for help. Too scared to say out that she couldn't see clearly, Mary hoped that if she kept quiet Miss Lee would ask somebody else.

Vimala guessed what was wrong, so she decided to take a risk. She jumped to her feet and said, "Excuse me, Miss Lee. Mary broke her glasses just before the lesson stared. I don't think she can see the clamp clearly." Then she sat down, praying(祈祷) that the ceiling would not fall on her.

"Oh!" Miss Lee said, a little surprised. She had thought that Mary was refusing to answer. Now that she understood, her anger faded away. "Thank you, Vimala." she said.Then the turned to Mary and said, "Come and look at this."

Mary left her chair and went to the front of the class.

"It's a clamp." she said. "We can put it on a metal stand(支架) and use it to hold things in place."

"Well, you got it right at last." Miss Lee said with a brief smile. "But you'd better not do any experiments until your glasses have been repaired. You can watch Vimala while she does the experiment."

The storm clouds disappeared. The smile disappeared from Miss Lee's face and she continued with the lesson. Vimala winked at Mary who peered at her and smiled weakly.
