    Bullying（欺凌）at school is a problem around the world. Most schools have. tried to reduce bullying by- making more rules. And many schools even have made their teachers supervise（监督）their students' behavior more strictly But one school in Auckland, New Zealand has done something different. Instead of making more rules for the playground, they reduced the number of rules. What happened? There's less bullying and other injuries.

At Swanson Primary School, during playtime, students can play in the mud, climb trees, ride skateboards, and do many such things that aren't allowed at other schools. If they promise that they do not hurt others and do not make trouble for their classmates, they can do just about anything they want.

“They may accidentally hurt themselves, but that's 0K," the teacher Bruce Mclachlan says. " We want kids to be safe and we look after them, but we end up wrapping（包裹）them in cotton wool when in fact they should be able to fall over. " Because students are able to do almost anything they want, they are happier. And happier students are less interested in making trouble. That makes parents and teachers happy.

Playtime freedom all helps the students learn the dangers of rude behavior. This will help develop the part of their brain that measures risks. This can be helpful when they are older. For example, if a kid does something rude on a skateboard and gets hurt, he or she will be less likely to repeat the rude activity. And if kids learn not to be rude on a skateboard, they are less likely to be hurt later in life when they're driving cars. Safety is important, but as Swanson Primary School has shown, more rules don't always mean more safety.

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。大多数学校都试图通过制订更多的规则来减少欺凌现象，而奥克兰的一所小学却减少规则，使得欺凌与伤害现象减少了。

65．细节理解题。由文章第一段中的" Instead of making more rules for the playground, they reduced the number of rules. What happened? There's less bullying and other injuries（不是针对在*场上制定更多的规则，他们减少了规则的数量。发生了什么呢？欺凌和伤害减少了）"可知，学校减少了校园规则之后，受到欺凌和其他伤害的学生数量减少了。故选C。

66．细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句的内容“If they promise that they do not hurt others and do not make trouble for their classmates, they can do just about anything they want.”可知，Swanson小学的学生如果承诺不伤害其他人，不给同学制造麻烦，他们几乎就可以做任何他们想做的事情。由此可知，选A。

67．词句猜测题。分析句子结构可知，“ we end up wrapping（包裹）them in cotton wool”的意思是跟“We want. .. them（我们想让孩子安全饼照顾他们）”和“ when in fact... fall over（其实他们应该跌倒）”相反的。由此可知，他们对孩子的保护过头了。wrap sb. in cotton wool意为“娇惯某人，悉心保护某人”。故选B。

68．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的" Playtime freedom also helps the students learn the dangers of rude behavior. This will help develop the part of their brain that measures risks" 可知，游戏时间的自由也能帮助学生了解粗鲁行为的危害，这将有助于发展他们大脑中测量风险的部分，帮助他们做出安全的决定。故选B。
