IV. [2015 • 资阳]阅读回答问题,阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Two years ago,a small town in Changhua started to grow healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by the students from a small primary school of only about fifty people.
The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans,the teachers decided to teach students how to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land when doing the rice farming outside the classroom.
What's better,the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money,the school could help the students who wished to go to foreign countries some day. Today the dream is becoming real — the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences,and have fun over there,of course! 44We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world ,” said one of the teachers.
