The teachers and their pupils go out into nature and work with animals and plants. These can be used to study a4. from maths and social sciences to languages. The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be h5.. To get to class, students travel a road through the forest that wild animals use as well.
The classroom for small preschoolers is a little different from the rest of the school. For example, the first lesson of the day is maths, but the teaching method is very s 6. . In this school you won’t hear a teacher saying “Count how many apples Jane has in her basket.” Actually, the children visit a n7. river to count the number of marks left by animals. This way they can see how many different animals come to d8.during the night.
The students are encouraged to take care of the injured and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they study where the animal fits in the foot chain and how and why it d9..
The headmaster says, “We must make people understand what we are doing to the e 10.. We need to care for our planet.”

“ Listen carefully to what I say.” the time traveler said. “I shall tell you something that you will not agree.”
“Why will we not agree?” I asked.
“Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” he said, “You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间）---length, breadth(宽）and thickness.”
“There is nothing to agree with that,” the youngest member of our little group said.
“Exactly!” the time traveler answered. “But there is also a fourth dimension---time.”
“We all know about time,” another member of the group said,” Time passes.”
“I do not agree,” the time traveler said. “Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in length, breadth and thickness.”
None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.
“If we could travel back in time,” the scientist said, “we could do things to change the future.”
“If we could travel forward in time,”the doctor(博士）said,“We could do things that change our present.”
The time traveler smiled. “It is clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here.”
He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.
“This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it.” the time traveler said, “I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and disappear from present.”
He turned to the youngest of us. “Give me your hand.” he said.
The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.
I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.
“Are you asking us to believe,” he said, “that the machine is now in the different time?”
“Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?”
“Are you serious about this?” the doctor asked.
“I have never been more serious about anything,” the time traveler said, “Come.”
We followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.
