Sun School in the town of Ashbert in England is a day school for children aged 10 to 18. (30) It is based on the value of social equality between students and staff, and has few rules. Sun School believes that the healthy growth of a child is more important than academic success. It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from and free time for children to follow their own interests. Classes are small, and based on the individual needs of each child. The timetable is fixed, but democratically decided, and students are expected to attend. The weekly school meeting is at the center of the way Sun School is organized. It makes all the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the timetable and accepting or rejecting new students and teachers. (31) Participating in these meetings gives the children an understanding of democratic decision-making and helps them develop their skills of argument and persuasion. The most important advantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the school is really theirs. They have the right to decide on changes. And the school’s success or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning staff. These jobs are done by the students and teachers. Decorating and simple repairs are also done by the students. (32) It is believed that for the school to truly belong to those who use it, they must take responsibility for its maintenance.

解析 短文最后部分提到,学校没有雇用厨师或清洁工,一些简单的维修工作是由学生来完成的,这是因为学校认为,只有让学生负责学校的维护,才能真正建立学生对学校的责任感。由此可知,学校让学生参与维修工作的目的是使学生们学会负责,培养学生们的责任感,故答案为D)。
