Students in the country’s primary schools and middle schools will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave school.Jean-Michel Blanquer, The French Education Minister, said the ban would come into effect (生效) in October 2019.“Some education organizations have already stopped pupils from using their mobiles,” Blanquer told RLT Radio, “Sometimes you need mobiles for teaching reasons or special situations, but their use has to be controlled in some ways.”However, there are some different voices about the ban, someone wasn’t sure if it could be followed. “This new ban makes us not understand well because we can’t find anything helpful about this ban.”Some students from a middle school seemed not to be serious about this ban. “I don’t understand how it will work. Where will we put our phones? And how will we get them back?” said a boy. At another school, Mathilde, 12, said, “It’s unbelievable. At my school, we don’t use them in class, so what’s the problem? If anyone is caught using one in the toilet or at lunchtime, the phone will be confiscated (没收).”Some of the parents are not sure, either. “It’s probably a good idea when the kids are in school,” said Sabine. “But my daughter goes to school and comes home alone. She needs a phone to keep in touch with me so that I won’t worry about her.”Anyway, the government is now studying how the mobile ban can be put into effect (执行).( )1.

They are also healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden, It is just far more eco-friendly. Usually it is built lower than the ground.Why Eco-friendly Rain Gardens Are RecommendedRain gardens smartly used rain and storm water by temporarily(暂时) holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(渗透) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. In this way, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing(流) directly into nearby streams and going unused, The water will soak. Slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes(蚊子) to breed(繁殖). This is a simple, attractive and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water.What's more, planting a rain garden helps cut down on pollution and make the environment better. The gardens don’t use expensive machinery and chemicals. They remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and reduce the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.How You Build Your Own Rain GardensNative(本地的) plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate(气候), soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden right after planting and once a week. Don’t water it if you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. You needn’t take much care of it once the plants have a necessary root system(根系统).Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks. However, you can do your own part. You don't need to be an environmental engineer to create a rain garden. Just start by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.根据上面短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。
