五、阅读理解
Deep Green Bush School is New Zealand's newest and most special school with just eight students. The weather is so beautiful that the school day will start with fishing. After that, the kids will eat lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Cancelled (取消). Students spend most of the day outdoors learning about nature. They also learn about the plants and animals of their home. Students learn to read and write, but they do so at their own pace (节奏), when they begin getting interested, not when the teacher decides it is time to learn.
"We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there," says Joey Moncarz, who had been a teacher in more ordinary schools for five years before he helped start the school more than a year ago. Being worried that ordinary schools were not preparing children for the problems of the future, he began thinking about a very different kind of education, teaching kids the skills of survival.
Some parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed (有压力的) in mainstream education and began to question if it is right for kids to come home stressed and unhappy. People ask Moncarz to open similar "bush schools" around New Zealand, and as far away as Europe and Asia.
David Berg is a learning expert (专家). He says schools like Moncarz's are becoming more popular. But, he says, these schools need to be careful. Children need to learn traditional subjects so they can find jobs in the modern world. Berg said many people still feel it is important to spend more time in nature. People in the modern world need to have many skills and some of those can be learned outside.
