The Water Protectors at Standing Rock and beyond have been battling to defend Mother Earth’s sacred water to honor our ancestors, to provide for our peoples and for future generations. This picture book — seriously, it’s breathtaking — was written by Carole Lindstrom of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe and illustrated by Michaela Goade. (For ages 3 to 6) All Because You Matter Tami Charles, illustrated by Bryan Collier From the matter of the universe to Black Lives Matter, this illustrated book pulls together the real universe to make it clear that its young readers are special beyond belief.

But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different. Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to the four-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Green berg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all tastes for learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing! The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-old. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and 答案第4页，共9页 even which staff they want and do not want anymore. When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist. 24．What is the main topic of the article? A．An Unusual School. B．Children’s Hobbies. C．A School without Rules. D．Education in the US. 25．What does Daniel Green berg say about the children? A．They love learning. B．They are very naughty. C．They want to be outside all the time. D．They are too young to learn anything. 26．Who has the most power in the school meetings? A．The older children have more power than the younger children. B．A child has more power than an adult. C．The younger children have more power than the older children. D．Everybody has equal power. 27．What happens to the children after they leave this school? A．They do the same things as children from other schools. B．They have problems getting into college or getting a job. C．They usually do very good jobs. D．They are not successful. C Billionaire businessman Elon Musk recently confirmed he is still interested in buying the social media service Twitter. The move came after Musk withdrew an earlier offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion. In a recent tweet (推文) on the subject, Musk wrote: “Buying Twitter can greatly support the plan to create X, the everything app.” Musk did not provide details on his brief statement. It has led many people to question what he meant by “the everything app” . A super app, or what Musk calls an “everything app,” has been described as one that offers a series of services for users. This could include messaging, social networking, direct payment services and online shopping. One industry estimate shows that Chinese super app WeChat has more than 1 billion monthly users and is a huge part of daily life in China. People can use the app to call up a ride-share or taxi, send money to friends and family or make payments at stores. In 2018, some Chinese cities began testing WeChat for an electronic identification system that would be linked to users’ accounts. Another leading super app across Southeast Asia is called Grab. It offers food 答案第5页，共9页 delivery, ride-sharing, on-demand package delivery, financial services and investing. During a
