A(枣庄中考)
It was a very cold day and the wind was blowing. But Li Yungang didn't feel it. He even felt hot. After all, this 14 - year - old student from Beijing Jingshan School was cutting grass for three hours.
This was the first time this city boy had done any farm work. “It was not that easy. My legs and arms were sore,” he said.
From now on, more Beijing middle school students will have a similar experience. More than 5,500 students from 13 city middle schools will take part in a one - week farm work programme in the autumn and spring, according to the Beijing Municipal Education Commission.
About 250 students from Beijing Jingshan School took part in it from Oct. 25 to 30. They dug peanuts（花生）, cut grass, swept fallen leaves and did other farm work.
Lin Ruohan, 13, thought the work was hard, but she also felt it was very enjoyable. “When we dig peanuts out, we must be quick to pick them up. If not, they may be covered in the ground again. We must be patient and work as a team,” she said.
But when she tasted the fresh peanuts, she felt happy. “I had never eaten such sweet peanuts before,” she said.
Some of her classmates also learned what kind of fruit and peanuts grow in the ground. “We learned a lot about farming by seeding(播种） them rather than just reading about them in textbooks,” she said.
The farm not only gave them knowledge but also gave them a new view. “I didn't see high buildings, but instead colourful leaves and endless fields. I felt very comfortable, and I felt closer to nature,” said Qin Yupeng, 14.
