Now, there is a new-type school in New York, which has no everyday lessons, no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called “City-as-School”. The name just means the city itself is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work which interest them. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a government office helping the public with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends a week for first-year courses at college.
Well, students have to pass Maths and science exams before they enter the “school”. These subjects are not easy to provide in“City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress of the students. The success rate (比率) is high. 80% of the students go to college after the “City-as-School”.
The students like the duty of their work. They have the sense of purpose. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. One of the students, Lizette Martinez, writes “ I want to say that I do not know where I would be right now if I had never become part of City-as-School. Leaving my regular high school and going to City-as-School was the best decision I have ever made. The way the school works to get you to go out there and learn different fields instead of sitting in a classroom is wonderful. For all those who are in between school and dropping out, go to CAS and it will change your life forever.”
City-as-School High School is the nation’s leading (引導) external (外部地) learning or experiential (來自經(jīng)驗的) learning model for high school students.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷句子正(T)、誤(F)。
Most animals are helped by people. They can’t live without us. But sometimes people have made the environment worse. For example, in some parts of the world the forests are being cut down.
The animals in the forests have become fewer and fewer. People hope to grow more food on the land, but the wind blows the earth away. Now forests become smaller and smaller, the soil becomes poorer and poorer. Now there are fewer animals and plants in the world. Insects (昆蟲) are usually killed, but some plants need insects. Their seeds (種子) can’t spread without them. Birds eat insects, and without insects many kinds of birds will die.
There are hundreds and hundreds of plants and animals, and each plant is helped by another, so does each animal. If you hurt one, you will hurt another, then another. Scientists know this well. They don’t want people to break their environment.
【小題1】It isn’t good for our environment to cut down forests.
【小題2】Animals in the world are becoming fewer and fewer.
【小題3】Animals and plants helped by each other.
【小題4】After the wind blows, the earth becomes richer and richer.
