In New York City, there's an unusual classroom. Tomato and other plants line the walls. Next to the desks, fish swim in a pool and ladybugs (瓢虫) fly around the whiteboard.
This special greenhouse classroom is part of New York Sun Works' Greenhouse Project. Its goal is to teach kids about city farming and the environment. "You get to think with your hands," Laurie, the director of Sun Works, said.
Students label (贴标签) the plants and watch them grow during the year. The food is served in the local restaurants. "It allows the kids to connect science to social studies while growing their own fresh and delicious food, " Laurie said.
The farm is built for a city. Rain water is collected and stored in a tank. The water is used for watering the plants. Instead of soil, plants are grown using only water and special nutrients（营养）. In another part of the greenhouse, fish provide the nutrients for plants. In the tank, plants stay on top of the water. Fish eat the plant roots. Fish waste helps the plants grow.
The students learn a lot by having "a working farm inside their school". Laurie hopes the project will spread to other New York City schools and to other parts of the country.

第一节 大意总结（共1题, 10分）
读下面关于孩子繁忙的学习生活的文章，请根据问题提示，尽可能用自己的话写出大意总结。词数不少于60，不多于80词。注意：在文章后标清你写的字数。
These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn't only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. “On most days after school," Cathy says, ‘‘I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children's future. I really want them to be successful." However, the tired children don't get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it's time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. "In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older," she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It's crazy. I don't think that's fair. Why don't they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn't push their kids so hard. "
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children." Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it's normal to want successful children, it's even more important to have happy children. "
1. What do Chinese children do on weekends? What about foreign countries?
2. What does Cathy Taylor do on most days after school? Why does she do that?
3. Are Linda Miller's children tired?
4. What is Linda Miller's opinion about many children taking so many after-school classes on weekends or after school?
5. In Alice Green's opinion, what should kids do?

六、第一节
Children take many after-school classes on weekends not only in China but also in foreign countries. Cathy Taylor from America takes her three children to have different kinds of classes. She said these activities are good for kids. However, Linda Miller's children aren't tired. She thinks it's crazy for parents to compare their kids with other children. They should let their kids grow up like kids. Alice Green also agrees with Linda Miller. She suggests that kids should have time to relax and think for themselves. She also thinks it's more important to let children be happy.
笫二节 One possible version:
My name is Susan. There are too many rules in my family. I have to clean the room every day. I am not allowed to play computer games in my free time. I can't go out on school nights. I must go to bed by 10 p. m. I think my parents are too strict with me. Sometimes I feel bored. But I understand they really love me. I communicate with my parents as much as possible sharing my happiness and sadness with them. And I often help them do housework. These are my good ways to get on well with them.

These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn't only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. “On most days after school," Cathy says, ‘‘I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children's future. I really want them to be successful." However, the tired children don't get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it's time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. "In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older," she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It's crazy. I don't think that's fair. Why don't they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn't push their kids so hard. "
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children." Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it's normal to want successful children, it's even more important to have happy children. "

六、第一节
Children take many after-school classes on weekends not only in China but also in foreign countries. Cathy Taylor from America takes her three children to have different kinds of classes. She said these activities are good for kids. However, Linda Miller's children aren't tired. She thinks it's crazy for parents to compare their kids with other children. They should let their kids grow up like kids. Alice Green also agrees with Linda Miller. She suggests that kids should have time to relax and think for themselves. She also thinks it's more important to let children be happy.
笫二节 One possible version:
My name is Susan. There are too many rules in my family. I have to clean the room every day. I am not allowed to play computer games in my free time. I can't go out on school nights. I must go to bed by 10 p. m. I think my parents are too strict with me. Sometimes I feel bored. But I understand they really love me. I communicate with my parents as much as possible sharing my happiness and sadness with them. And I often help them do housework. These are my good ways to get on well with them.
