One of the interesting things about Cuba is its educational system. As in many other countries, schools are free. What is unusual is that schools combine study with manual work. Each school has a plot (一块) of land where the children work every day. They plant vegetables, which they weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way, they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach(菠菜) , green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a taste for them. During the summer, older children also go to the country to help the farmers with the crops.

In this system, the children spend part of their school time studying and working in the open air helping increase the nation’s production.

A. The nation’s production is increased.

B. Children go to the country to help the farmers with the crops once a year.

An increasing number of Canadians are using energy- and water-saving machines at home, but many are not ready to give up pesticides(杀虫剂) and bottled water, says Statistics Canada.
