　　A Charlotte, North’Carolina, lawyer bought a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured (投保)them against fire among other things. Having smoke d all his great cigars within a month, the lawyer filed claim(索赔)against the insurance company.

　　In his claim, the lawyer said the cigars were lost “in the series of small fires”. Of course, the insurance company refused to pay, giving the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

　　The lawyer brought the case to the court and out of everybody’s expectation, he actually won! At the end of the trial, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was somewhat crazy. But the judge said that the lawyer held a policy(保险单)from the company in which it had promised the cigars could be insured and that it would insure them against fire. Because the company didn’t say what is considered to be unacceptable fire, it had to pay the claim.

　　Rather than put up with long and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the punishment and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the “fires”.

　　After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested and accused him of arson(纵火罪)! With his own insurance claim from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was charged with burning his insured possessions on purpose and was sentenced to 24 months in prison and a $24,000 fine.

　　Forest schools are a type of outdoor education in which children (or adults) visit forests, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as “an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment”.

　　Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in school-age children. Topics are broad including the natural environment, for example the role of trees in society, the complex ecosystem supported by a wilderness, and recognition of specific plants and animals. However, the personal skills are considered highly valuable, such as teamwork and problem solving. The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and communication. Forest schools are also called nature schools.

　　Schedules within forest schools vary, but a typical approach is to take school children to woodland for once a week, with 6 week observation period at first. Often a baseline(基线)is produced for each child in terms of areas of their overall development, with particular emphasis on their social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL). Once the baseline assessment has been produced the Forest Schools teachers will then continue with the long term programme over the course of the academic year in order to support the child in their development and learning. The teachers will provide opportunities for each child to develop in areas that have been identified as requiring interventions(介入)or support of any kind. The time and frequency of visits influences the degree of outcome most; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits. Visits should continue throughout the year, allowing children to experience all weathers and the changing seasons.

　　Forest schools are often “led by the child’s interests” by comparison to other outdoor education which “starts with a problem for the children to investigate”.

　　68.Who can benefit from Forest schools?

　　A.People who are not suitable for the p ublic school system.

　　B.People of different countries learn the same language.

　　C.People who are dismissed by the public schools.

　　D.People of all ages who hope to learn knowledge.

　　69.What personal skills are considered highly valuable in Forest schools?

　　A.The ability of inventing something of great valuable.

　　B.The power of making himself stronger in character.

　　C.The ability of joining teamwork and solving problems.

　　D.The skills of making friends with some strange people.

　　70.What is the common way to be used in Forest schools?

　　A.Letting children themselves make study plans.

　　B.Guiding students to carry out experiments in labs.

　　C.Teaching children to learn to observe in fixed time.

　　D.Introducing contents beyon d the requirements of textbooks.
