What would school be like without head teachers? Could students look after themselves,or would they be lost?
You can find the answer in Changchun,Jilin. At the No.1 Middle School of Changchun’s First Automobile Factory,students are doing fine without a head teacher.
From April 6,all 18 Junior 2 classes at the school have not had head teachers.The school hopes students will learn to take care of themselves this way.
“It seems like no one is taking care of us,“said Li Huanyu from Class 9.
But the 14-year-old girl said she wasn’t worried at all.
“Now we know it’s up to us to look after our own class.”
Li’s class now has a student committee(委员会)of nine students.The committee made some new rules for the class.
Some students often copy others’ homework.So one rule says that if people let others copy them,they will be punished,not the people who copy.The rule has worked well,and now students do their own homework.
In Class 2,students talk about how they can help their classmate Xiaohua,because he doesn’t learn as quickly as others do.The class committee asks everyone to write him a letter to encourage him.
“We do best when people don’t push us,“said Zhou Bing,the head of the committee.Head teachers aren’t in the classroom anymore,but they still aren’t far away.In fact,some say they feel closer to the kids than ever.Many kids go to them for advice,and they talk like friends.
“They’re growing up and learning to be responsible(负责任的),”said Zhang Jiashen,a teacher at the school.

“Ladies and gentlemen,we got him!”
With those words,Paul Bremer,the US’s top administrator(行政官员)in Iraq,told the world that Saddam Hussein had been caught.
Saddam was found last Saturday night hiding in a hole on the land of his former(从前的)cook.He had a gun with him when he was found by US soldiers,but did not use it.He also had US $750 000.“He was quite cooperative(合作的).Not one shot was fired,”said Richardo Sanchez,the US’s top army official in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein was the leader of Iraq from 1979 to April 2003.In 1990,he went to war with Kuwait(科威特),one of Iraq’s neighbours.Iraq’s army killed many Kurds(库尔德人)living there.The US and other countries went to war with Iraq in 1991 to get the Iraq army out of Kuwait.The war was won quickly by the American-led army.But Saddam was left to lead Iraq.
In 2003,America said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction(大规模杀伤性武器)and decided to go to war with Saddam again.
The US-led army occupied(占领)Iraq in April.But they could not find Saddam.Saddam had around 30 hiding places in the country and he moved among them every four hours.The US-led army only found him after being told where he was by one of his former workers.
America and Britain now want to put Saddam on trial for “war crimes(罪行)”,such as killing Kurds in the 1990s.
George W.Bush,the US President,wants Saddam to “pay the ultimate penalty(终极惩罚)” for such crimes.By that,he means the death penalty.The UN and European countries,though,do not want Saddam to be put to death.

70.When Saddam was found,he .
A.had 750 000 pounds with him B.had a gun with him
C.had some soldiers with him D.shot one soldier
71.Which of following is Not true?
A.America thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
B.The USled army couldn’t find Saddam until his former worker told them.
C.Saddam moved among 30 hiding places other three hours.
D.The UN and European countries agree with George W.Bush on how to deal with Saddam.

My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced:“Get up.You’re going with me to cut grass.”
The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited.From sunup to sundown my father,my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta,Georgia.By the end of the day I was tired out,but I felt good.I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pulled me aside.“Clear away these leaves,”he said firmly,“and don’t make me have to do it again.”The message was clear.Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time.It will never fail to impress the person you are working for.
After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪)on our own. Every Saturday during our last two years of high school,we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while working under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying,but that didn’t matter.It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(最低的)pay.“My father never worked just forty hours a week,and neither have I,”I replied.“If you’re only working forty hours,you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.”
In every job I’ve held from doing lawns to washing dishes,I have learned something that helped me in my next job.If you work hard enough,you can learn from any job you do.

73.What does“message” in the third paragraph mean?
A.Leaving behind is not right.
B.Giving no excuse for your mistakes.
C.Doing a good job at the very beginning.
D.Missing things can be found out.

A.14 B.16 C.18 D.20
75.What of the following is the most important thing that the writer has learned from his father?
A.Watch clearly while doing a job.
