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 is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work they are interested in. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a Mayor’s(市长)office helping 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(大学).
Well, students have to pass Maths and Science exams before they go into the ”school”. These subjects are not easy to learn in ”City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress(进步)of the students. About 80% of the students can go to college after the“City-as-School”.
The students like the duty of their work. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. Liz Martin, writes“I do not know where I will be right now if I never become part of City-as-School. Leaving the high school and then going to City-as-School is the best decision(决定)I make. The way is Wonderful because the school gets you to go out there and learn different fields. If you are in between school and dropping out(退学), go to CAS and it will change your life forever.”

Honesty(诚实)of American students
When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn’t see or hear anyone cheating.I found two reasons for this.
First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code(荣誉准则).It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second,American students don’t care about scores as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.
1. What will happen if students go against the Honor code?
2.Who does the writer think care more about scores?
3 Are you willing to become an honest person? Why?
