Three years ago，teachers at Denton School knew there was a big problem.The school buildings were very old，the gym(体育馆)wasn't very good and the library was small．There were1modem science labs．They knew they 2 a new school.
The teachers3to ask the students what kind of new school they wanted. They didn't expect the students to be4, but they were surprised. The students want to plan design(设计）5new school !The head teacher Simon Roberts thought this was a fantastic6.A group of students worked with an architect(建筑师)to plan the buildings.They talked about all the different possibilities and looked at different designs．In the end，they chose to have small classrooms7this meant there was space for a big new library,a modem science lab and a great gym．Other groups of8chose things like desks．chairs and books for the library．
Everyone in the school，both teachers and students, helped9the planning in some way．It took two years to10the new school and there was a special event(活动)to open the school last year．Of course, all the students love their new school!
In many high schools，there are strict rules(规定)about using mobile phones．If your phone rings(响)in class，for example，the teacher will be angry because he thinks you disturb(打扰)him and other students．
Every mobile phone has a ringtone(铃声)．It tells you that someone is calling you．Now,there is a ringtone called"mosquitotone"．Using it．Students can get calls and messages in class but the teachers will not know what is happening．How?
Mosquitotone has a special sound．Only children and teenagers(青少年)can hear it．As people get older,they are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies(频率)．As a result，a child or teenager can hear mosquitotone，but someone of 20 or older can't．
But sometimes,people over 20 can hear mosquitotone．One Brifish boy uses mosquitotone．In class，his phone rang．His maths teacher Aaron Brown looked at him and became unhappy,"I heard that．You know the rule：no mobile phone in class．"
Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone．Jerry Jones，a high school student of 17，said，"Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing．I may use it for fun．but not in class．It's unfair(不公平的)to the teachers!"
What do parents think of mosquitotone?"I think it is perfect for places like movie theatres．"says Connie Neeson,44．"Think about it．You're watching a movie and someone's mobile phone rings．Mosquitotone is good because many people don't hear it．However．it also has a bad influence(影响)on their studies if students use it in class．"

I'm Sarah．I had little passion(激情)in my life before．But what happened the other day changed my mind．It was then that I learned how important it is to have a passion in life．
That day I went home in Mum's car．When Mum stopped at a red light，someone on the side of the road caught my eye．It was a man dressed in rags(衣衫褴褛)．He was homeless．That didn't interest me，because I had seen many people like him before．Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless．
But this man was different in some way．He was not sitting alone with a sad look．Instead(相反)，he had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music．The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的)thing he had．
"Mum，why does that man have a radio although he's homeless?"I asked．
"Maybe he bought it，"she answered．
"But why didn't he use the money to buy food or clothes?He paid for something that he didn't need．
"Well,Sarah,sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important．"
That man must love music so much that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes．I soon knew that happiness is the key to life．
Since men I am always thinking of what is truly important in life．A home，a meal，clothes—these things are only part of the life．What we often forget is that we all need a light on a dark day．We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going．
