Can you imagine turning your school into a farm? This is     1     students did at Zhengzhou Foreign Language Middle School. Under the “double reduction” policy(双减政策), students have many new clubs and after-school     2     (activity). One of the most popular clubs     3     (be) the Happy Farming Club.

“At first I thought I could just grow some vegetables here,” said Zhang Xin, a club member. “But     4     turned out that I also learned a lot about agriculture and biology.”

After     5     (study) crops like wheat and garlic, students got the chance to grow them. “My group tried growing leeks (韭菜).” said Zhang. “We first put the roots underground. Then we     6     (cover) them with a thin layer of soil and watered them. After this, we had a great sense of     7     (achieve). We hope the leeks can grow strong!”

Other groups grew     8     (differ) things such as wheat and spinach(菠菜). To tell them apart, students set up boards with the vegetables’ names on them. The campus looks like a small farm now.

“In the 38 years of our school’s history, we are the first     9     (grow) vegetables,” said Zhang. “This is really     10     special experience!”

Cami’s First Soccer Game

Cami’s knees shook as she ran onto the field.

“OK!” called Wood, the coach of Diamond Team. “Remember three things. One, use your feet, not your hands. Two, aim for the goal. Three, which way are we going, Diamonds?”

Cami pointed, trying yelling “That way!”with her teammates, but only a weak voice came out. It was her first soccer game ever, about which Cami had been more excited than starting first grade. She had even tried to wear her soccer shoes to bed last night. But now she was scared, for there were too many kids, too many parents, and too many rules.

Twe-eet! The game was on! Mothers and fathers cheered. Cami ran, too, but not very close to the others. Her best friend, Rosa, kicked the ball. It popped (砰) out beside Cami, who froze, standing rooted to the spot. The group headed toward her, flowing past on either side. Mom and Dad cheered Cami on, but she just stood there, facing her goal.

At last, the whistle blew for halftime. After taking a short rest, Rosa yelled at Cami to pull her back onto the field. Cami’s team faced the other way for the second half. “Cami, you play defense,” Coach said.”Try to stop the ball from getting by you, OK?” Cami nodded and looked behind her at the Diamond goalkeeper. She clapped her gloves and smiled.However, Cami was too nervous to smile back. “Which way are we going, Diamonds?” Coach asked. This time Cami joined in. “That way!”

Twe-eet! Again, the players ran back and forth, up and down. But Cami still didn’t move. Dad shouted, “Go, Cami!” Mom cried, “Come on, Cami!” Cami swallowed hard. Her feet felt as if they were buried deep in beach sand. The players pounded toward her. Who had the ball? Then she saw Rosa out in front, dribbling (运球). But something was not right. Cami frowned.

It was at that moment that Cami found Rosa was going the wrong way.

Before the referee (裁判) blew the whistle,Diamond Team had scored.
