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(领域)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(潜力).They point out that fourteen-year-old 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.

Why not build a large Internet market to connect customers with companies from all over the world? They could do business online in that way. That was how Alibaba began. His company grew quickly.

Their leaves turn sunlight into energy.In Sheridan, the Sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels(太阳能电池板) to turn sunlight into energy.The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (学区) in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to follow the Sun across the sky.In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by The Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a programme director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (来源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it wont run out. Solar panels dont harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs. Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy. The Sun is Earths energy source, she says. Were trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.But using solar energy isnt always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.（1）What does the underlined word It in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . A plant.B . The Sun.C . A district.D .
