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.

People spend almost a third of their lives doing one thing: sleeping. Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep—World Sleep Day.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow. People of different ages need different amounts (数量) of sleep.

However, many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and too much homework. The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep. It has influences (影响) on students’ school life.
