School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington, D.C., students are hard at work outdoors.In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend's farmers market.
Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now.During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m.until 2 p.m.with City Blossoms, a nonprofit organization that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas.She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often.And she's taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.
City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern.It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged.These gardens are really outdoor classrooms.For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed, or learning the science of how plants grow.
For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food.Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take a pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials(千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes(纠纷) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”.They said they hate the “involution(内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggles, endurance and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis(宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar.“It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressure from child-raising to paying the mortgage(按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and generation Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest.It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese young people have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable.Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale(士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times.“IT is no use running away.I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life.1. Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids.
Saying “thank you” to service workers
Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers.It's not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others' contributions as valuable.2.
Taking turns talking
Teach your children to tap your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge them before speaking.If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it's rude to interrupt and let them know you'll acknowledge them shortly.3. Offer your children the same politeness and don't interrupt them when it's their turn to talk.
Using their indoor voices
4. A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation.You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.
Covering a cough or sneeze
These days it's more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow.It's not just a matter of hygiene(卫生)—no one enjoys getting sprayed.5. Don't forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after.
A.Remember it goes both ways.
B.Consequently it makes others feel cared about.
C.Games are very important for children's good manners.
D.Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud.
E.Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.
F.It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.
G.Eventually it's about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.
语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会——人际沟通
语篇导读:本文主要介绍了几种让孩子更有教养的礼仪。
1.答案 E
解析 对比关系。上句讲抚养孩子的一个重要部分是教他们良好的举止,因为这有助于他们在生活中更成功。结合下句内容可知,空处与此对应,说明缺乏教养的孩子在生活中的各方面都会受到影响,故选E项。
2.答案 G
解析 重申关系。上句讲这不仅仅是关于礼貌,而是关于教孩子认识和承认别人的贡献是有价值的。据此推知,空处与此对应,说明不要将服务人员当作自己的仆人,故选G项。
3.答案 A
解析 顺承关系。该句起到承上启下的作用,上句讲如果他们真的打断了你,要冷静地告诉他们打断别人讲话是不礼貌的;下句讲同样礼貌地对待你的孩子,当轮到他们说话时不要打断他们。据此可知,空处说明轮流发言是双向的、互相的,故选A项。
4.答案 D
解析 顺承关系。下句讲父母应该尽早教他们的孩子如何根据情况调节说话音量和语调。据此可知,空处描述的是孩子们大声讲话的情况,故选D项(哭、笑或只是说话,孩子可能会非常大声)。
5.答案 F
解析 并列关系。根据上句可知,这不仅仅是卫生问题,因为没有人喜欢被别人对着打喷嚏。据此推知,空处与句中的not just对应,说明掩面咳嗽和打喷嚏的好处,即让你周围的人感到安全且舒服,F项中的also与此句对应,故选F项。
