When Mr. Holland was a young man, he played a lot of football, and he was always thin and strong. But then he worked in an office for many years, and he drove to work in a car, so when he was 40, he was very fat.

One day, one of his colleagues(同事) said to him, “Would you like to be thinner. Fred?”

“Of course I would,” answered Mr. Holland.

“Well,” said his colleague, “stop going to the office by car, and get a bicycle.”

“It’s very hard to learn to ride a bicycle at your age,” said his wife(妻子).

However, it was not too hard for Mr. Holland to do. He usually sat in his living room and read the newspaper in the evening, but after he bought a bicycle for his birthday, he practised riding that every evening instead. He hoped that it would help him get thinner. Mr. Holland began to go to his office by bicycle sometimes when all the cars stopped at a red light, he would go past them to the front, because his bicycle was narrow. Then he was very happy. Yesterday he stopped at a red light, a man with glasses came up behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and said to Mr. Holland. “Did the police take your driving license(驾照) away too?”

How does your lunch taste? Students at the Philips Academy Charter School in the US say their lunch tastes fresh and “proud” (自豪的).

From grades 6 to 8, students in the school had to grow their own lunch. On the small farm inside their kitchen, they grew vegetables like broccoli and many kinds of Asian Greens.

For most students, it was the first time for them to see how food is produced (生产).

The greens grow under lights. Each month, students from different grades come to water them. The farm produces about 8 pounds (3.6kg) of leafy greens every three weeks. The fresh food then goes to the students’ tables.

“We harvest it and then it’s used in the kitchen. We’re eating it during lunch, and it’s fun,” said Yves Millien, 14.

And this project (项目) is not only good for teaching science. It also helped change students’ eating habits. Catkin Flowers, 13, hated greens before. She thought they tasted bad. However, after she grew her own vegetables, Catkin changed her mind.

“I made this and I want to eat it because it’s good and I am proud of it,” said Flowers.
