五、阅读理解。
Can you imagine(想象) a school with only one student? There is one on the remote Scottish island of Out Skerries. Aron is the only student.
The island of Out Skerries is home to about 70 people and covers only two square miles. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can get there by boat and it takes about two and a half hours.
Aron wasn't the only student at the school at first. Until July there were several other children there. But now they are older, so they go to secondary school in Lerwick.
The school is very small. It has two classrooms, a craft room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science, Cooking and so on. This is usually a long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with.
Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born. He loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring(探索) the islands on his bike.
But his mother is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed ten years ago. That's why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.
