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 (利润).” 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 (会计). I asked them who the manager was. “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~$ 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.
Most students enjoyed running a business and all the students said that they had learnt a lot.

Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also includes pies and plum puddings (李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread cookies and cakes, which are made like Christmas trees. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. The dinner includes a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January 1st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don’t need to cook during the festival. On New Year’s Day, various dishes called Osechi ryori (御节料理) are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese Lunar (阴历的) month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year: People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility of using a knife during New Year’s time that might “cut luck”, Foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like “surplus (剩余)”.

Lunch is an important meal for growing students. In the US, schools a 76 the country are changing their menus to serve h 77 food, but most schools give students little time to eat.
A new survey by the School Nutrition Association of the US s 78 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 79 for their meals.
In f 80 , students may have only about 10 to 15 minutes left to eat their meals, but they need at l 81 20 minutes, the association says.
Many students feel r 82 at lunchtime. Jamie Taylor, a 15-year-old student at an Oklahoma middle school, thinks that healthy foods often takes m 83 time to eat.
“For example, it takes more time to c 84 a whole apple than some applesauce (苹果酱), 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 j 85 of sitting down and enjoying a lunch,” says Helen Phillips, president of the Association.
Phillips thinks that, nowadays, the attitude 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.

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 (会计). I asked them who the manager was. “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~$ 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.
Most students enjoyed running a business and all the students said that they had learnt a lot.

Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also includes pies and plum puddings (李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread cookies and cakes, which are made like Christmas trees. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. The dinner includes a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January 1st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don’t need to cook during the festival. On New Year’s Day, various dishes called Osechi ryori (御节料理) are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese Lunar (阴历的) month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year: People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility of using a knife during New Year’s time that might “cut luck”, Foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like “surplus (剩余)”.

Lunch is an important meal for growing students. In the US, schools a 76 the country are changing their menus to serve h 77 food, but most schools give students little time to eat.
A new survey by the School Nutrition Association of the US s 78 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 79 for their meals.
In f 80 , students may have only about 10 to 15 minutes left to eat their meals, but they need at l 81 20 minutes, the association says.
Many students feel r 82 at lunchtime. Jamie Taylor, a 15-year-old student at an Oklahoma middle school, thinks that healthy foods often takes m 83 time to eat.
“For example, it takes more time to c 84 a whole apple than some applesauce (苹果酱), 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 j 85 of sitting down and enjoying a lunch,” says Helen Phillips, president of the Association.
Phillips thinks that, nowadays, the attitude 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.
