It was the last day of final exams in a university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam. On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam and then they would graduate. With all these four years of college behind them, they felt ready to go into the world.

The professor had said they could bring any book or note they wanted, but they could not talk to each other. They went into the classroom happily. The professor gave them the papers. They smiled when they found that there were only five questions.

Three hours passed and the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked so confident . The professor faced the class. No one spoke. They just held papers in their hands.

The professor then asked, "How many of you finished all five questions?"

Not a hand was raised.

"How many answered four?"

Still no hand.

"Three? Two?"

The students looked worried in their seats.

"One, then?" Certainly somebody finished one.

However, nobody replied. The professor put down the papers. "That is just what I thought," he said. "I just want to tell you that, even though you have finished four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are quite common in everyday practice." Then he added with a smile, “You will all pass this course, but remember——even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun."

In some parts of China, school children have to cook for themselves. But now, with the help of donations, this becomes a history forever.

At the donation ceremony in southwest China's Lishan Primary School in Yunnan province, kids gathered at playground to receive something new to them -- a kitchen system. Gu Dongjun was the donor of the new system. She wanted the children to grow up healthily.” I hope the kids can eat clean and hot food,” she said.

Lishan Primary School has more than 500students. Half of them live at school, and have to cook for themselves in the open air. They have been picturing their dream kitchen since they knew they would no longer have to cook outside.

It was not just Lishan Primary School getting a new kitchen. Another 12 schools in Yunan Province also got new kitchens. Zhou Faming is the headmaster of Panlong Primary School. He said the new system really helped improve the quality of food. China Youth Development Foundation(中國(guó)青少年發(fā)展基金會(huì))started an activity recently to support 100 schools every year in poor places. And so far 20 schools have already received the new kitchen system.

【小題1】When did the story happen?

In 1996，39 American students started a very interesting project-the Green Tree project．

The students began the project by collecting walnuts（核桃）in autumn．Then the nuts were put under the ground of the school garden in November．In this way，the seeds（種子） could be kept cool and wet for several months before they started growing

In February，the seeds were dug up（挖出）so that they could begin to sprout（發(fā)芽）．Sprouted seeds were kept in refrigerators so that they could be stopped from growing until the time to plant．This helped keep the trees about the same size at planting time．

In March，sprouted seeds were planted in paper cups．Each student was asked to plant twelve trees．Then the trees were carefully watered and watched．The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week．The students found this part of the project very exciting．

On April 29th，the trees were moved and planted by a lake．It took the students only 90 minutes to plant all the trees．It was so interesting to see a treeless area turn into a forest right before their eyes!

1．How did the students begin their Green Tree Project?

2．Why were the nuts put under the ground for several months?

3．When did the seeds begin to sprout?
