七、任务型阅读 (每空2分, 共10分)
A group of high school students from the United States has planted hope by cleaning up an empty lot (一块地) in their neighbourhood.
The students are from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot, which is owned by a local banker, was filled with grass and poison ivy (毒常春藤) . As a project for the school’s biohealth (生物健康) class, eight students decided to turn the empty lot into a space that would improve the mental (心理的) and emotional (情感的) health of people who lived near it.
They first came up with a design, did research and created 3D models of their plans. Ideas were then presented and the school leaders picked the winning plans. Finally, the students brought those plans to life.
Now when you walk into the lot, you can see a wood walkway leading to a purple iron bench. A few beautiful plants are
already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch (跳房子游戏) board that is painted bright blue. A wall painting with the words “Love” and “Peace” has taken shape on a back fence, decorated with the students’ handprints. The rest of the fence is painted grey to cover plain wood.
The students said they painted the bench purple because they found that purple has a comforting feeling for people. They
thought kids could go there and sit together, communicate with each other in peace and stay out of trouble.
As for the hopscotch board, it was set up for a group of eight to ten school -age kids who lived in the neighbourhood but
had nowhere to play.
“It gives the neighbourhood a little hope and a little beauty, “said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighbourhood Network.
A lot of people love the neighbourhood and have great hopes for things getting better. 根据短文内容, 完成下面的表格。

My ideal school life
My ideal school life is meaningful and colourful. I'm very happy to study in the school.
Now we have five classes every day. I like all the lessons, because the lessons are very interesting. At noon, we have an hour's rest time and we can chat with each other.
In my ideal school, we can play many ball games after school and there are many clubs. I would like to join the English Club. We don't have much homework. We often use emails to send our homework to the teachers.Our teachers and classmates are very helpful and kind. During my holidays,I want to be a volunteer to help others in need.
I hope my dream will come true one day.。
