practice the independent project. they represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors students. their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. though they sought advice from english, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one anothers work and giving one another feedback. they were no grades, but at the end of the term, the students wrote evaluations of their classmates. the students also designed their own courses. in addition to some regular courses, they each took on an “individual project”. learning to play the piano or to cook, writing a novel or making a video about domestic violence. at the end of the term, they performed their new skills in front of the entire school. the last part of their self-designed course was to do a “collective project” that had social significance. because they felt the whole experience had been so life-changing, they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools. the project was a success. after returning to their traditional study, the students have high motivation and are doing well. one student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching others about probability. the lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control of or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished, more engaged and more knowledgeable. the students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience, learn things that matter to them and learn together.44. which of the following statements is true？a. some students might drop out of high school.b. the teachers monitored the students homework.c. the students themselves solved all their problems.d. the teachers evaluate the students performances.45. the students involved in the independent project _.a. didnt need to learn common lessonsb. tended to escape from the whole societyc.

failed their math coursesc. the students have freedom to design their lessonsd. the project was mainly concerned with math courses47. what would be the best title of the text?a. structure the kids days to the minute.b. let kids rule their own school within a school.c. offer students few opportunities to do anything.d. provide traditional education for the students. da cactus(仙人掌)stood all alone
