　　This year a new student named Danny had moved into the class I taught．Danny’s father was a 　　1　　 and not at home much, and his mother worked odd jobs(零活)　　2　　 she could not help make ends meet．In October, I gave Danny a pair of mittens and hat(一套手套和帽子)．I had 　　3　　 thought he would be so proud－because there were a few of the things he 　　4　　 owned．He wore them to the playground between 　　5　　 and carefully put them in his desk when he came in．After school, I found his mittens and hat in his desk．When I 　　6　　 him whether he forgot to bring them home, he explained that stuff got easily 　　7　　 at home with so many kids and he didn’t want to lose his only hat and mittens．

My Experience in a Free School

　　At first I couldn't believe it!There were no 　　1　　 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 　　2　　．Although we all lived“in”, 　　3　　 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no“lights out”．

　　The 　　4　　 thing was that practically all the students went to class, 　　5　　 very few people stayed up late at night．Only the new people stayed up or 　　6　　 class．The new ones always went wild 　　7　　, but this never lasted long．The 　　8　　 took some getting used to．Our teachers treated us like 　　9　　; never did we have to 　　10　　“stand up”,“sit down”,“speak out”．I don't 　　11　　 one student who didn't try his best．

　　The subjects were the same as those in 　　12　　 school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)！For example, in botany(植物学)we had 　　13　　 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 　　14　　 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden．　　15　　 in winter we each studied a few 　　16　　 things about what we had grown．In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms－small ones 　　17　　, but usable．They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom．They really had a 　　18　　 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 　　19　　 the angles(角度)and so on．I didn't take 　　20　　．I can't stand it!Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers．That's 　　21　　!

　　　　22　　 I think I am a 　　23　　 person for having gone to the school．I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better．That's probably a real big 　　24　　 between the free school and regular school－the amount of 　　25　　．

　　The measure of a man’s character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out．－Thomas Macaulay

　　Mrs．O’Neill asked 　　6　　 questions, and she didn’t 　　7　　 us either．Macaulay, she wrote on the blackboard the 　　8　　 words by Thomas Macaulay．She then ordered us to 　　9　　 these words into our exercise books one hundred times．

　　I don’t 　　10　　 about the other eleven boys．Speaking for myself I can say：it was the most important single 　　11　　 of my life．Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 　　12　　 seem to me the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a 　　13　　 to measure ourselves rather than others．　　14　　 of us are asked to make 　　15　　 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle．But all of us are called 　　16　　 daily to make a great many personal decisions．　　17　　 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman?Should the 　　18　　 change received at the store be forgotten or 　　19　　?Nobody will know except 　　20　　．But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect．
