What do you call a school with no tests,no grades,no classes,and no teachers? Students of the Met School and their parents think it to be the best school in the world.
The school is in Rhode Island,the USA. Dennis Littky opened it in 1996. He was fired from two other schools,because many parents of the school students were happy with his unusual ideas. The school takes poor kids who are failing at schools. Nearly everybody has already given up these students and their parents want to try anything. The Met School gives Littky a great place to try out his new ideas.
“The word that most kids use when they talk about high school is ‘boring”” says Littky. “But no one would say the Met was boring. ” Advisors ( not teachers) work with small groups of students for four years. Students spend almost half of their school time learning real-life skills,such as working for business,spending time with government people,and helping teach younger children. Instead of tests,the students give shows about their work outside school.
In fact,students work harder here than in other schools. All the students from the Met graduate and can choose to go to a good university. Now,Bill Gates is starting schools like this one around the USA.

It is surprising many everyday English that Americans use today come from the card game of poker.
For example,you hear them say like ace (王牌) in the hole. In poker and most card games,the ace is the highest and most useful card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game,a player does not show this card to the other players. The players bet money each time they get another card. No one knows until the end of the game. Often,the ace in the hole wins the game.
Another everyday English,dealing off the bottom,now means “be not honest” in business. And when someone tells you that the cards are bad for you,maybe you really have a chance to win.
In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents (对手) know if your cards are good or bad. So having a poker face is important. A poker face never shows either good or bad feelings.
You can do a better job if you hold your cards close to your vest. You hold your cards close to you so no one can see what you have. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You are keeping your plans secret.
1. In card games,an ace is usually card.
A. the most useful B. the biggest
C. the oldest D. the most beautiful
2. If somebody says that you are dealing off the bottom,he may.
A. like you B. want to talk with you
