四、任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
Gardening as part of the school curriculum(课程) began in the United States in the early 1900s and school gardening has become very popular over these years. Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects.
Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school's large garden with 12 raised beds. "Gardening is a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn't have this experience," Hobart says. She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food.
"If we had to buy the seedlings, they'd cost 3 each and we could never afford that," Hobart says. "But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We find seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens and our communities." Each spring, the school's children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together.
Hobart says gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice.
In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. "Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and find worms—especially if their teachers are excited about it—is important," Hobart says.
"Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education," Finley says. "The act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have reverence(尊敬) for soil, it's a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity."
