Can you imagine turning your school into a farm? This is what students did at Zhengzhou Foreign Language Middle School.

Under the “double reduction” policy （双减政策）, students have many new clubs and after-school activities. One of the most popular clubs is the Happy Farming Club.

“At first I thought I could just learn to grow some vegetables here,” said Zhang Xin, a club member. “But later I found that I also learned a lot about agriculture （农业） and biology.”

Students looked up the information about vegetables on the internet. After studying on line, students got the chance to grow them. “My group tried growing leeks（韭菜）”, said Zhang. “We put the roots underground, after that we covered them with a thin layer of soil and watered them. After doing all this, we had a great sense of achievement. We hope the leeks can grow strong!”

Other groups grew different things such as tomatoes and potatoes. To tell them apart students set up boards with the vegetables’ names on them. The campus looks like a small farm now.

“In the 38 years of our school’s history, we are the first to grow vegetables,” said Zhang “This is really a special experience!”

It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons,    51    to play football.

七、阅读填表（10分）

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? Now let me describe a typical (典型的)  American high school and students in it.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student has a locker to put away their textbooks and to hang up(搁置)their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather(宁愿) loan (租借) than buy them. Students have to pay if they lose any of them.

American students have different kinds of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students pass the driving exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.

Each day, students take six or seven subjects. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose from Art, Homemaking, and other classes.

In some schools, students have to take one or more of the following special subjects: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has his or her own classroom.

The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports like football, basketball, baseball, and different kinds of clubs, such as Yearbook Club, Speech Club, and so on.
