①At school, students usually learn many subjects in the classroom like English, math and so on. Now there is a new one in some schools—school gardening (园艺). It is an outdoor (户外) subject. In the gardening class, teachers teach students different kinds of vegetables and how to grow (种) them. Then students work in groups.
②________ Why? Because they can have much fun in this class. They don’t have to sit at their desks in the classroom all day. They can get out, get their hands dirty, do things with their own (自己的) hands and relax.
③It’s also fun to get something to eat and see. In some schools, students like to grow carrots and tomatoes. It’s always interesting for them to get a carrot or a tomato, wash it and eat it right in the garden. In some schools, students like to grow flowers (花). When it’s spring, all the flowers come out and they’re really beautiful. Students like to walk and talk in the beauty. That’s their favorite thing to do after busy hours of work.
④Only fun from the classes? Of course not. Students can learn something, too. Keeping a school garden is difficult and all the students in the group need to come and help. This teaches students teamwork. Also, some vegetables are easy to grow, but others need a long time. This teaches students they need to wait (等待) before they get the things they want.
⑤There may (可能) be many other good things about school gardening. But one thing is for sure—students really love having outdoor classes.

【推荐3】Now, there is a new-kind school in New York, which has no everyday lessons, no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called “City-as-School”. The name just means the city itself is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work as they like. Then they help to do that work. For example, one girl named Julia spent a week in a Mayor’s (市长的) office helping the people with problems like housing. Then she went to help in a theatre for a day and she spent a week for first-year lessons at college.
Well, students have to pass Maths and Science exams before they enter the school. After they leave the school, teachers watch the progress (进步) of the students. 80% of the students go to college.
The students like the duty of their work. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. One of the students, Liz Martin, said, “Leaving my high school and then going to City-as-School was my best decision (决定). It’s more wonderful to learn about different areas in it than sitting in a classroom. It will change my life forever.”

Pets can help kids feel happy.
They can bring the kids lots of fun. Walking with the dog, feeding the fish and talking to the bird are children’s favorite activities. They stop the children from watching TV, playing games on the computer after they finish their homework. They feel happy when they play with their pets.
Pets help kids learn how to get on well with others in the future.
It can be a good way to help children learn how to get on well with others in their life. For example, when mom and dad look on the pets as their other kids, how do the kids feel? They will learn to love the new brothers or sisters, and learn how to take care of them.

【推荐2】In most people, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) after age 30 or 40. People start to perform worse in tests of thinking abilities. But what if it is only something more like the “summer slide”? Every year, summer vacations lead to some children’s study losses.
A group of researchers from University of California suggest that the break of learning is a problem for adults (成年人) too.
In a three-month research project, they provided a learning environment to 33 elder adults. They were between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after the project, the researchers tested their thinking abilities, including attention and working memory. Elder adults in this program were asked to have three classes to learn three new skills. Courses included singing, drawing, iPad use, photography, and Spanish language learning. Three months later, people had greatly improved their scores for memory and attention.
In a follow-up study, the researchers discovered that the participants had not only developed their skills but had improved further. In other words, after having three courses, these elder adults seemed to improve their thinking abilities to levels similar to that of a college student.
“Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. The project gives us a lesson: decline, as we so often see it, may not be unavoidable.

In this way, you may understand the passage better. Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don't know, don't spend too much time on them. Very often, you'll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.
