Life’s just not fair Do these complaints sound familiar’ well, if you think your life is hard, you might like to think about kids in ancient times. For some of them, life was quite hard. In ancient Greece, only the boys are allowed to go to school. Greek girls stay at home, where their mother taught them skills like cooking and weaving--things that would help them find a husband. At the age of seven, some boys were sent to very strict military school, where they were taught become soldiers. Nearly everything in their educational system was about war and battle. Life was pretty hard at there schools. For example, the kids were often hungry. The teachers didn’t let them have much food.But if they got caught, they were punished(惩罚）。 Aztec children in central America also had a difficult life in ancient times. If they broke rules, they could expect some pretty curl punishment. On the goof side, Aztecs believed in the importance of schooling. In the home, children learn practical skills: dads taught their sons how to fish and farm while mothers taught their daughters home-making skills. Girls and boys also went to school(although the adults didn’t let them go to the same schools) Kids went to schools called Telpochcalli. They had lessons about history, religion and music.The boys had  lessons to learn how to fight. If the children were from more important family, they went to a calmecac where they learned how to read and write, too. At both schools children had to be on their best behavior. They knew all about the punishment for behaving badly, and life was hard enough anyway. 88. The complaints aren’t mainly about rules, are they? 89. Why did Greek girls learn skills like cooking and weaving? 90. What did the Greek boys at military school probably do to survive for themselves? 91. Who were calmecac school for? 92. What did the boys in Telpochalli learn? 93. Who do you think have a harder life, children in the past or today? Give your reasons. VII. Writing 94.
