【推荐2】Do you know how to clean rooms or grow plants? Could you cook by yourself? If not, you will soon. These will all be part of Chinese education starting this fall.

A new standard (标准) for labor (劳动) education recently came out. Students in primary and middle school will have at least one class a week to try and experience different kinds of chores and learn different life skills and even job skills for each grade.

Middle school students need to learn the following skills:

Everyday Chores

Seventh-to-ninth-graders have to clean up their rooms and classrooms.When there’s a travel plan, they should pick their proper clothes and pack a suitcase (行李箱) by themselves. While fifth-and sixth-graders know how to cook two or three common dishes, middle school students need to cook one or two more dishes than them. Making healthy daily eating plan is also necessary to learn. What’s more, they are asked to challenge themselves to look after and fix home appliances, such as washing the air conditioner(空调) and cleaning the washing machine.

Productive Labor

Middle school students have to take part in both local labor, such as planting and fishing, and one or two industrial products (工业产品), like paper-making. Making one or two kinds of traditional handicrafts (手工艺品) such as pottery (陶艺) and wood caving (木工) is in the standard, too.

Service Labor

It’s middle school students’ duty to do one or two kinds of volunteer work like helping put the shared bikes in order and be ready to take part in modern service labor.

This move is to make Chinese students’ life colorful and build their character through labor. Schools and homes are the main positions to achieve the goals of labor education.

【推荐1】Teachers and headmasters in Chinese schools are asked to eat with students in dining rooms at every meal. The new rule was carried out on April 1, 2019.

According to the Ministry of Education, the introduction of the rule is a way of making sure of the safety, nutrition and health levels of school food. School leaders from kindergartens to high schools should get together with students during school meals. The plan will guide them to pay more attention to food safety at school.

This move came after a list of school food safety problems in the past few years. In March, 2019, moldy food was found in a primary school dining room in Chengdu. The news led to people's worries. Parents asked to make sure of school food safety.

Under the new rule, schools are asked to tell where the food comes from, who offers it and other information. The rule says schools should help students get into healthy eating habits. It also invites parents to eat with students at school to make them less worried.

In the United States, obesity rates have kept rising over the past thirty years. The new law introduced by Michelle Obama has pushed schools to make low-calorie(卡路里) menus. Even the healthiest choices are commonly provided by large food companies.

Schools in Japan also give children a homemade meal for lunch. The food is grown locally and almost never frozen. The meals are often made by cooks from the beginning. And they're balanced but heavy on rice, vegetables and fish.

Learning how to save lives with CPR If you see someone collapse（失去意识）, perhaps as a result of a heart attack, what can you do while you wait for an ambulance（救护车）? Chen Wenqiaochu set a good example when he was 14. He performed CPR on a cleaner at his school, saving the man’s life. The Ministry of Education（教育部）and Red Cross Society of China asks all public schools nationwide to provide first-aid courses, including CPR training, as a part of health education.

The regulation also requires schools to monitor students who may be overweight, and intervene（干预）to make sure they follow a healthy diet.

【推荐3】Taking your dog for a walk can be fun to do.     1     According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 10 million people in China are bitten by dogs every year.

People in Beijing and Shanghai are already asked to keep their dogs on a leash (绳子). A similar law will soon be carried out across the country. It is listed in the newly amended (修订的) Animal Quarantine Law.     2    

The law focuses on the prevention of rabies (狂犬病).     3     The law makes it clear that anyone who keeps dogs must regularly vaccinate (给……接种疫苗) them. Those who walk their dogs outdoors must keep their dogs on a leash to prevent them from hurting people or spreading diseases. Those who don’t follow the law will face a fine.

    4     This meant that if someone was bitten by a dog, they would have to go to a hospital and get treated and vaccinated immediately.

Gao Fu, head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention，said it makes more sense to vaccinate dog than humans.

Many other diseases can also spread between animals and humans.     5     And 75 percent of all new infectious human diseases come from animals.

B．In the past, it was up to dog owners whether to get their dogs vaccinated or not.

【推荐1】“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.

Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.

“Listen. And you will learn something.” Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.

That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out but a croak (低沉沙哑的声音).

Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”

“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.

When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded (点头). When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye.

Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”

“He never stops talking,” Richard said worriedly.

Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.

Simon sat in class, bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn’t there, but he couldn’t even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention.

He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.
