五、阅读理解
Deep Green Bush School is New Zealand's newest and most special school with just eight students. The weather is so beautiful that the school day will start with fishing. After that, the kids will eat lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Cancelled (取消). Students spend most of the day outdoors learning about nature. They also learn about the plants and animals of their home. Students learn to read and write, but they do so at their own pace (节奏), when they begin getting interested, not when the teacher decides it is time to learn.
"We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there," says Joey Moncarz, who had been a teacher in more ordinary schools for five years before he helped start the school more than a year ago. Being worried that ordinary schools were not preparing children for the problems of the future, he began thinking about a very different kind of education, teaching kids the skills of survival.
Some parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed (有压力的) in mainstream education and began to question if it is right for kids to come home stressed and unhappy. People ask Moncarz to open similar "bush schools" around New Zealand, and as far away as Europe and Asia.
David Berg is a learning expert (专家). He says schools like Moncarz's are becoming more popular. But, he says, these schools need to be careful. Children need to learn traditional subjects so they can find jobs in the modern world. Berg said many people still feel it is important to spend more time in nature. People in the modern world need to have many skills and some of those can be learned outside.

### 五、阅读理解
深绿丛林学校是新西兰最新且最特别的学校，仅有八名学生。天气如此美好，以至于学校的一天从钓鱼开始。之后，孩子们会吃在篝火上烹制的午餐。家庭作业和课程？取消了。学生们一天中的大部分时间都在户外了解自然。他们也了解家乡的动植物。学生们学习阅读和写作，但他们按照自己的节奏去做，当他们开始感兴趣的时候，而不是当老师认为是学习的时候。
“我们被称为一所学校，但我们看起来和那里的任何学校都不一样，”乔伊·蒙卡兹说，在一年多前帮助创办这所学校之前，他在更普通的学校当了五年老师。由于担心普通学校没有让孩子们为未来的问题做好准备，他开始思考一种非常不同的教育方式，教孩子们生存技能。
一些家长看到他们的孩子在主流教育中不开心且有压力，开始质疑让孩子带着压力和不开心回家是否正确。人们要求蒙卡兹在新西兰各地，甚至远至欧洲和亚洲开办类似的“丛林学校”。
大卫·伯格是一位学习专家。他说像蒙卡兹的学校这样的学校正变得越来越受欢迎。但是，他说，这些学校需要谨慎。孩子们需要学习传统科目，这样他们才能在现代世界找到工作。伯格说，许多人仍然觉得花更多时间在大自然中很重要。现代世界的人们需要具备许多技能，其中一些可以在户外学到。
