Lunch is an important meal for growing students .In the US, schools a 1 the country are changing their menus to serve h2 food ,but most schools give students little time to eat .

A new survey by the School Nutrition Association of the US s3 primary school students  have about 25 minutes for lunch and middle school and high school students about 30 minutes. That includes the time students need to go to the restroom, wash their hands, walk to the cafeteria and stand in l 4 or their meals.

In f 5 , students may have only about 10 to 15 minutes left to eat their meals, but they need at l 6  20,the association says.

Many students feel r 7 at lunchtime.Jamie Taylor.a 15-year-old student at an Oklahoma middle school,thinks that healthy foods often takes m8  time to eat.

“For example,it takes more time to c9  a whole apple than some applesauce[蘋果醬]，and eating a salad takes longer than eating a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets”.Taylor said.”you always have to rush to the cafeteria and rush to eat every time.”

Besides,some kids eat their favorite foods first, and if they run out of time, those vegetables may get left behind..

“It has made it impossible to have the j10 of sitting down and enjoying a lunch,”says Helen Phillips,president of the Association.

Phillips thinks that,nowadays,the attiude is to make students sit down and eat and get it over with quickly.”I don’t know if there is a perfect way,but we will try to make it as perfect as we can.”Phillips said.

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷倉），they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another．Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped．But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（擠）out at the mouth of the hole．With some efforts, the mice finally got out．However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately．Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole．It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other．

Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look．They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape．

After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought．During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice．

One serious American official said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．”The others thought for a while and said：“

That was why!”

A smart French said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that

of husband and wife．”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense．

A Japanese said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．”O(jiān)nce again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable．So they expressed agreement another time．

At that moment, one Chinese asked：“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ ”

Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer．

In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship．

Instead, it is based on no relationship．

 Every year, over 40,000 secondary students in Britain run a business. "Each business runs for one 
year," said Ben,one of the group of students visiting Shanghai. "When we started our business, we 
borrowed money from parents and friends. At the end of the year,these people will receive some of the 
profits(利潤) ."I asked Ben if running a business was difficult.He said that it was no problem. He said
that they always received a lot of advice from teachers and business people.
     Another member of the group,Regina,told me the four questions they always asked themselves.
The questions are:
      l. What do people want to buy?
     2. Where is a good place to sell the product?
     3. How is our product better than other products? 
     4. How much is the product?
     I was also very interested in how the group was organized.Regina said that there were usually about 
five to seven students in each business and among them were one manager and one accountant (會計).
I asked them who was the manager."I am,of course,"said Regina. "It was my idea to produce picture 
books,"she said. "They have been very popular with the other students." I also asked the students what 
other people sold. "Other groups in our school sell things like T-shirts, videos and computer games,"said 
Ben.
     "How much money do the businesses usually make?" I asked."Some businesses make;$20,000—$30,000  but most groups make a small profit of about $ 1,000一 $ 3,000," said Regina.I asked them what they did with the profits. "We can do what we like with the profits."However,Regina told me that it was important not to waste the money. She always told the other groups to give the money to charity.
