The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville(开心农场)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self－reliant and develop friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It's a good way for them to learn to be responsible.

Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don't feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

A parent said happily, “Through farming, they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”

Night after night, she came to help me sleep, even long after my childhood years.

I don't remember when it first started annoying me—my mom's hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that anymore, your hands are too rough！” She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.

Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her good－night kiss on my forehead. I'm not a little girl anymore. My mom is in her mid－70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me. She's like a doctor to us, always knowing how to calm a young girl's stomach ache. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world. Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

Taking my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt(内疚) that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

Moms take care of their children's life and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it's common among all cultures. But times change and parents' roles seem to be changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full－time jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.

The Chinese TV show Where are we going, Dad? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures(冒险经历) of five celebrity(名人) dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.

Psychologists(心理学家)say that a strong fatherly influence(影响) is important in a child's development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong, he or she can depend on his or her dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.

A mother's love is important, and so is a father's love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says, “It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”

B. They are trying to complete a set of tasks with their kids. They are also trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them.

C. They are trying to make more money.

D. They are trying to be cold to their kids.

3.Why is a strong fatherly influence important in a child's development?

A. Because fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety.
