Then maybe you will like the World Day of Laziness (懒惰). The World Day of Laziness is on the third Sunday of August every year in Itagui, Colombia. The city has been known for its business (商业) in the past 100 years. At that time, people there lived a busy and fast life, so most people always felt tired and many of them were in poor health because of the unhealthy lifestyle (生活方式). In 1984, a man in Itagui, Carlos Mario Montoya, had the idea that the city should celebrate not only the prosperity of business, but also the slowdown and enjoyment of life. So, the World Day of Laziness was born. In 1985, people in this small city began to celebrate the day. On that day, people take their beds to the streets and have a good sleep. They stop doing housework and other events. Instead, they just lie down and relax. There are also many activities on that day, such as a competition (比赛) for the best-looking nightwear, a pillow juggling (枕头杂耍) show and a race for the fastest bed on wheels (轮子). 1．Where is the World Day of Laziness celebrated every year?

We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. And I noticed something too. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm, and my spirit was light. Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every day. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we should. No matter how hard I try, I can never get it quite right. Maybe I am missing an ingredient. Or maybe it was just the love with which they cooked it that made it so delicious.

Before I could answer, she gasped—her antique pocket watch, a family treasure for 60 years, was missing! Panic flashed across her face. Mom immediately called a family meeting. “Can anyone remember where Grandma last had it?” she asked. Uncle Jack checked the garden, Aunt Lisa searched the kitchen, while my younger cousin Emma and I scanned the living room. The watch’s soft ticking was the heartbeat of this house; its absence made everything feel wrong. Suddenly, Emma tugged my sleeve. “Can you hear that?” she whispered. Faint ticking came from behind the sofa cushions. We dug through them frantically until silver gleamed in my palm. As I placed the watch in Grandma’s trembling hands, pure joy lit up her face. She pulled us all into a group hug, her tears dampening my hair. That tiny watch taught me what home truly means. Can a building be just bricks and windows? Never. Home is where familiar smells welcome you, where people say “Can I help?” before you even ask. It’s the joy of knowing someone will always search through sofa cushions with you. Can any feeling compare to that? I don’t think so. 阅读单选 1．Why did Grandma feel panic at the beginning? A．The children described unpleasant train experiences. B．Her antique pocket watch was missing.

It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. Mary: In my opinion, a good friend should understand (理解) his friends. When there’s something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends’ place and think more for his friends. 1．What does the underlined sentence (句子) mean?

Today I’m going to tell you something between me and my good friend. Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata (彩罐). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! Carlos’s birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Did you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays? Instead, on New Year’s Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes with lucky money in them. In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now “unlock the door to their future life”. In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults pull children’s ears—one pull for each year. My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends? Linda 1．What’s in the “pinata” on Carlos’s birthday? A．Candies. B．Water. C．Money. D．Keys. 2．What does the underlined sentence most probably mean? A．It’s time for parents to give their kids a good future. B．The kids are old enough to face their future. C．Kids don’t need to face their future by themselves. D．Kids can have a better future with their parents’ help. 3．What will adults do on children’s birthday in Italy? A． B． C． D． 4．What will David probably do next? A．He will say “Happy Birthday” to Carlos. B．He will send Linda a gift. C．He will write something between his friend and him. D．He will come and celebrate his birthday with Linda. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是Linda写给David的一封信，信中介绍自己参加好朋友Carlos的生日聚会的经历，并介绍了世界各地不同的生日庆祝方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Carlos hit the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies.”可知，彩罐里面装的是糖果。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday… door to their future life.”可知，在南非孩子21岁生日时，父母会给孩子一把象征能“开启未来生活之门”的钥匙，意味着孩子到了足以面对自己未来的年纪。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While in Italy, adults pull children’s ears—one pull for each year.”可知，在意大利，在孩子们的生日上，成年人会拉孩子们的耳朵。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Do you have such an experience with your friends?”可知，此处询问David和好朋友之间的经历，所以David接下来会写自己和朋友之间的一些事情。故选C。 四、U4单元话题热点预测 We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she likes you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that the male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember she chooses you. You’re different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because she put something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after the delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. 1．We know mosquitoes very well because ________. A．they can be found easily B．they fly here and there C．there are many kinds of them D．they can fly 2．The mosquito bites you ________. A．when you’re asleep B．because you have chosen it C．too quickly to let you know D．but it doesn’t like you 3．Which of the following sentence is NOT TRUE? A．The itch begins after the mosquito bites you. B．You feel terrible when the mosquito bites you. C．female mosquitoes use blood to lay eggs. D．Not all the mosquitoes like to bite people for blood. 4．You can probably find this article in the column (专栏) of ________. A．History B．Culture C．Animals D．IT 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，详细介绍了蚊子的生活习性，包括其分布范围、种类数量、雌蚊吸血的原因、吸血过程以及吸血后的行为等。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They are almost all over the world...We know the mosquito very well.”可知，因为蚊子到处飞，几乎遍布世界各地，所以我们很了解它们。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.”可知，蚊子咬人非常快且安静，以至于人们可能感觉不到任何不同。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.”可知，蚊子咬人时非常快且安静，人们可能感觉不到任何不同，而不是感到难受，所以B选项“当蚊子咬你时，你会感到难受”与原文不符。故选B。 4．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了蚊子的生活习性，包括其分布、种类、吸血行为等，这些内容都属于动物范畴。因此，这篇文章很可能出现在动物专栏中。故选C。 Long ago, when the God (上帝) first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “The Tree of Life”, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit of monkey bread is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree, and some people could hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a story. C．By singing a song. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “hollow” mean in Chinese? A．褶皱的 B．光滑的 C．空洞的 D．狭小的 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Baobab has many names. B．Flowers come out in dry seasons. C．The leaves of baobab are good to eat. D．The oldest baobab is 1,000 years old. 5．What’s the title of the passage? A．God and Baobab B．What does Baobab Like C．A Special Tree-Baobab D．Baobab’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要以故事开篇引出猴面包树，介绍了它的生长地区、外形特征、不同季节的状态，以及因寿命长、能储水、果实可食、叶子可入药等多种用途被称为 “生命之树” 的特点。 1．细节理解题。根据“Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place.”可知，作者通过讲述一个关于上帝和树的故事开篇。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks sticking up in the air.”可知，猴面包树在旱季没有叶子，看起来像直立在空中的树干。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks.”可知，老树能容纳很多人，当地人还能在树干里建房，说明树干内部是“空的”，由此可推测“hollow”意为“空洞的”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“It’s the baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others.”可知，猴面包树有很多名字。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，文章开头用故事引出猴面包树，随后介绍了它的生长地区、外形特征、不同季节的状态，以及被称为“生命之树”的原因和多种用途，核心是围绕猴面包树这一特殊树木展开。故选C。 “Save the whales (鲸鱼)!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers (救援者). A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life. 1．What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him? A．He lived near the ocean. B．He cared about the environment. C．He worked as an animal rescuer. D．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. 2．Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning? A．To swim with the whales. B．To help rescue the whales. C．To see the whales swimming. D．To watch a movie about whales. 3．The underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A．didn’t move B．went back out C．washed over D．got up 4．In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place? a. The whale disappeared under the sea. b. People turned on the lights of their cars. c. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. d. People pushed the whale towards the sea. e. A few people ran towards the whales. A．e-d-b-c-a B．e-b-c-d-a C．d-b-e-a-c D．a-e-b-d-c 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个小男孩和家人在海边玩时，看到了一只鲸鱼搁浅了，救援队的人救了鲸鱼，期间小男孩为救援队提供了一些食物。最后鲸鱼获救了，感谢那些努力拯救它的生命的人。 1．细节理解题。根据“Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared.”可知，杰克贴的画就是他所关心的内容，拯救鲸鱼是和环境有关的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie.”可知，人们期待鲸鱼的表演，即看它们游泳。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body rested on the sand.”可知，浪潮退去，鲸鱼留在了沙滩上，B选项“went back out”意为“回去”符合句意。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“They had to become rescuers (救援者). A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.”、“Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand.”，“After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water.”以及“It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea.”可知，人们成为救援人员、人们把鲸鱼推向大海、人们打开他们的车灯、救援人员将鲸鱼抬入水中、鲸鱼消失在海底。故选A。 Homegrown Produce You don’t need lots of space to grow produce. You can grow it in a pot or in a window box. It’s just as good and just as fresh. You don’t have to wait for it to come on a boat or a plane for a long time. You can just go to your gardens and pick a load of fresh peppers or tomatoes anytime. Think about what you can do with your homegrown produce. You can roast it or toast it. You can bake it or put it in a pie. Anyway, you can cook it in any way you like. Homegrown produce is fresh! Eating fresh produce is very important. You and your family can eat the green produce that you grow in the garden. That is good for your health. But how do people have more fresh produce to eat? Some people like a program called Plant a Row. Here is how this program works. People in this program usually plant two or more rows of plants. They plant one row of beans for their family and they plant the other row to give to a food bank. If people don’t have enough food to eat, they can go to the food bank and get some food from others for free. Nowadays, some schools join the program. Students can grow their own produce at school. They will eat the fresh food, take some home and give some food to the food bank. If your class plants a garden, you will need some useful tools. And your teacher may need to help you with the work. Take care of your garden and wait for the produce to grow. You will get more than you think. Growing fresh produce is a big job. You must wait for it to grow. But don’t give up! People will thank you for helping them eat healthily. 1．If we grow produce at home, ________.

They stop doing housework and other events. Instead, they just lie down and relax. There are also many activities on that day, such as a competition (比赛) for the best-looking nightwear, a pillow juggling (枕头杂耍) show and a race for the fastest bed on wheels (轮子). 1．Where is the World Day of Laziness celebrated every year?

He spent 36 yuan buying a ticket. On the early morning of May 1st, he got on the green train. After nearly nine hours, he finally went back to his home in Fang County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province. Xue’s family needs to burn firewood to cook and for warmth in winter. To get enough firewood for his family to use, Xue and his father went to the mountains to look for wood on 2 May. Because some workers just built a reservoir (水库) near his house, there was a lot of wood left there. Xue and his father carried the wood home. In the following three days, they first sawed the wood into pieces and then chopped them with an axe (斧子). Finally, they put the wood next to the back wall in the yard, “In fact, the most tiring part is not chopping wood, but carrying wood home, because it is wet and heavy,” Xue said. In the end, Xue and his father chopped about 900 kilograms of firewood. Xue recorded the moment when he and his father were working. Then he shared the short videos online and they became popular.

It was about 10 years ago, on a cold, gray winter day. I was walking to visit my dad. I knocked on his door and stepped into his house. Warm steam came from the kitchen. It touched my nose, and suddenly I felt like I was 8 years old again. Dad was making Nana’s special sauce. Growing up, Nana would make us an Italian dinner every Sunday. She would slowly cook her spaghetti sauce for hours. It always left our bellies (肚子) full, our hearts happy, and our house smelling yummy. I sat down when Dad made me a plate. I felt like a boy again. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. And I noticed something too. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm, and my spirit was light. Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every day. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we should. No matter how hard I try, I can never get it quite right. Maybe I am missing an ingredient. Or maybe it was just the love with which they cooked it that made it so delicious. Anyway, this winter, I am going to make it again. I need its warmth. I need its goodness. 1．What brought the writer back to his childhood? A．A cold, gray winter day. B．The same kitchen. C．A heart-to-heart talk with his dad. D．The familiar smell of the spaghetti sauce. 2．According to the writer, what made the sauce taste better? A．The ingredients. B．The person he cooked it with. C．The love put into it.

A．Unforgettable memories B．Delicious food C．A cold winter day D．My grandma Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life.

The Sound of Home The moment I stepped into Grandma’s house last winter, a familiar scent of cinnamon cookies wrapped around me like a warm hug. “Can you describe how the train journey was?” Grandma asked, her eyes crinkling. Before I could answer, she gasped—her antique pocket watch, a family treasure for 60 years, was missing! Panic flashed across her face. Mom immediately called a family meeting. “Can anyone remember where Grandma last had it?” she asked. Uncle Jack checked the garden, Aunt Lisa searched the kitchen, while my younger cousin Emma and I scanned the living room. The watch’s soft ticking was the heartbeat of this house; its absence made everything feel wrong. Suddenly, Emma tugged my sleeve. “Can you hear that?” she whispered. Faint ticking came from behind the sofa cushions. We dug through them frantically until silver gleamed in my palm. As I placed the watch in Grandma’s trembling hands, pure joy lit up her face. She pulled us all into a group hug, her tears dampening my hair. That tiny watch taught me what home truly means. Can a building be just bricks and windows? Never. Home is where familiar smells welcome you, where people say “Can I help?” before you even ask. It’s the joy of knowing someone will always search through sofa cushions with you. Can any feeling compare to that? I don’t think so. 阅读单选 1．Why did Grandma feel panic at the beginning? A．The children described unpleasant train experiences. B．Her antique pocket watch was missing.

Today I’m going to tell you something between me and my good friend. Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata (彩罐). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! Carlos’s birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Did you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays? Instead, on New Year’s Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes with lucky money in them. In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now “unlock the door to their future life”. In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults pull children’s ears—one pull for each year. My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends?

They are almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she likes you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that the male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay (产) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember she chooses you. You’re different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because she put something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after the delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. 1．We know mosquitoes very well because ________.

A．History B．Culture C．Animals D．IT Long ago, when the God (上帝) first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “The Tree of Life”, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit of monkey bread is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree, and some people could hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a story. C．By singing a song.

Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers (救援者). A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life. 1．What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him?

You don’t have to wait for it to come on a boat or a plane for a long time. You can just go to your gardens and pick a load of fresh peppers or tomatoes anytime. Think about what you can do with your homegrown produce. You can roast it or toast it. You can bake it or put it in a pie. Anyway, you can cook it in any way you like. Homegrown produce is fresh! Eating fresh produce is very important. You and your family can eat the green produce that you grow in the garden. That is good for your health. But how do people have more fresh produce to eat? Some people like a program called Plant a Row. Here is how this program works. People in this program usually plant two or more rows of plants. They plant one row of beans for their family and they plant the other row to give to a food bank. If people don’t have enough food to eat, they can go to the food bank and get some food from others for free. Nowadays, some schools join the program. Students can grow their own produce at school. They will eat the fresh food, take some home and give some food to the food bank. If your class plants a garden, you will need some useful tools. And your teacher may need to help you with the work. Take care of your garden and wait for the produce to grow. You will get more than you think. Growing fresh produce is a big job. You must wait for it to grow. But don’t give up! People will thank you for helping them eat healthily. 1．If we grow produce at home, ________.
