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

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

To most students, it was the first time for them to see how food is produced (生产). The greens grow under artificial lights (人造灯). Each month, students from different grades come to observe ( 观察) and water them. The farm produced about 8 pounds (3.6 kg) of leafy greens every three weeks. The fresh food was soon on the students’°table.

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

And this organic (有机的) project is not only for teaching science. It really helped change students’eating behavior. Catkin Flowers, 13, hated green food before. She thought they tasted bad. However, aft er she grew her own crops, Catkin changed her mind.

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

Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him, said his mother, Lewis. He’d return to his home with questions: “Why am I _______? Why me? His mother still remembered he was actually sad and angry with that.

Lewis said she didn’t know what to do at that point. A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader, Trashaun, becoming popular after sharing videos of his slam dunks(灌篮) on the Internet, and, like Jayce, he _______ most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. To her surprise, Jayce immediately got interested in the videos. At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun was _______ an encouraging moment for Jayce — he saw a role model with a similar _______. If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence.

The boys met and at once got on well with each other as both of them were in the same condition. They rode bikes, took photos, and shot basketball on the court. Instead of spending the whole day feeling _______ for themselves, they had a lot of fun. Sometimes, they talked about the problem — the lost left arm. Trashaun told Jayce not to let anyone discourage him and not to let those words shake his _________.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a noticeable change in her son. As for Trashaun, his relationship with Jayce made him expect to help more kids. “Honestly, it _______ a lot to know that I changed Jayce’s life”, Trashaun says. Still, he never dreamed that his _______ would make such a great difference in others “life”. I just thought my friends would see them, and be like, “Oh, he dunked it!”
