But for some of the children, school is a kind of place they cannot escape from. They are there only because their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teachers let them leave. Many of them want to find jobs but the law will not let them work until they reach a certain age.

The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win. One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said. Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die. They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they, too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle（蓟）.He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country. The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower. 51.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they appear again in dreams. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of sad memories. In November, some scientists tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals (化学品) that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused plenty of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. Some memories can destroy peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a dream. They usually come with very sad emotions. said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve (减轻) a lot of that suffering. But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous co change memories because memories give us our identity (特质), They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past. All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to erase those memories, said Rebecca Dresser. 59. The passage is mainly about_ A. a new medical invention B. a new research on memories C. a way of erasing sad memories D. an argument about the research on the pill 60.
