5．Have you ever eaten something that you grew in your own garden？Many people have not had the pleasure of this experience．Alice Waters，the owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant，set out to change all that for a special group of students at Martin Luther King Junior Middle School in Berkeley，California．
Waters worked with the school's principal （校长），Neil Smith，to create a cooking and gardening programme at the school．Waters believes in the importance of people knowing where their food comes from．She also believes that there is a strong relationship between food，health，and the environment．She wanted to show children the pleasure in gardening and in preparing the foods that they grew．She wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand．
The project that Waters began took a lot of time and patience．Teachers，students，and community volunteers helped her turn a parking area into a garden．At the same time，renovation （整修） was begun to turn an old cafeteria （自助餐厅） into a kitchen where students could prepare foods and share meals with their teachers．
In 1995，the first crops were planted．Every year since then，new crops are evaluated （评价） to make sure that they are best suited for the environment and the needs of the school．
Students have found that they look forward to the time they spend in the garden each week．They have learnt how to grow and harvest．They have learnt about the life cycles of various plants．
Alice Waters dreams that one day there will be a garden in every school in the United States．She hopes that school lunches can be prepared using the produce from the gardens．

In today's world we are always surrounded （包围） by technology．It's true to say that technology makes our lives easier．However，increasingly scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break-otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems．Over the summer the days are longer，sunnier and free from school．With all this free time，why not put it to good use and do something that has nothing to do with technology？
