五、阅读理解。
School systems(制度) are different from country to country.
Unlike us, students, in Singapore, where I am studying, have a flexible(灵活的)
timetable. My friend Amanda is a science student. She chose Chinese literature and language,
chemistry and economics. She also has to attend general paper(理解与写作课), project
work, math and PE lessons. On Friday, Amanda only has one PE, one general paper and
one economics lesson. On Thursday, however, she has six lessons. “Gloomy(郁闷的)
Thursday，” she said humorously.Lunchtimes are not fixed, either. On Tuesday, Amanda has lunch at 10：30 a.m.
because she has a PE class at noon. On Thursday, since the first four lessons take up the
whole morning and the noon, she has lunch at 1：00 p.m. The different lunchtimes solve the
problem of longline in the student canteen.
In Singapore students have different lessons in different classrooms while in China we have
the same classroom for nearly every lesson. Walking in the school, you always see students
rushing toward the next classroom, with their schoolbags on their shoulders. Sometimes
the ten-minute-break seems to be too short. I remember on the first day that no sooner had
Amanda and I arrived in the classroom than the bell rang. No time to go to the washroom or for
snacks.
And another discovery surprised me. Students are allowed to use calculators(计算器)
in math exams! The students in Singapore calculate everything using calculators. They even use a
calculator to find out the sum(总和) of 200 and 300!
The two school systems have their advantages and disadvantages. I hope the schools
in different countries can learn from each other and the world's education make progress.

A. there are not enough breaks in the day

300?
