Can you imagine a school with only one student? There is one on the remote Scottish island of Out Skerries. Aron is the only student.
The island of Out Skerries is home to about 70 people and covers only two square miles. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can get there by boat and it takes about two and a half hours.
Aron wasn't the only student at the school at first. Until July there were several other children there. But now they are older, so they go to secondary school in Lerwick.
The school is very small. It has two classrooms, a craft room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science, Cooking and so on. This is usually a long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with.
Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born. He loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring(探索) the islands on his bike.
But his mother is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed ten years ago. That's why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.
1. What is not true about the island of Out Skerries?
A. There is a secondary school.
B. There are less than 100 people.
C. The island is small in size.
D. There was a factory 10 years ago.
2. What can we learn about Aron's school according to the passage?
A. It has many classrooms.
B. There are several students.
C. It is very large.
D. Over three subjects are taught in the school.
3. What do you think Aron is probably learning at his school?
A. Everyone is different and that's a good thing.
B. Teamwork is important to achieve things in life.
C. It is important to know how to spend time alone.
D. It's good to learn how to get on with people of different ages.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The smallest school in Britain.
B. The loneliest schoolboy in Britain.
C. The colourful life on an island.
D. Mum's worries about Aron's future.
