Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa． It is called the Great Green Wall．The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment．
The wall is 8， 000kilometers long and 15kilometers wide． It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east，on the south of the Sahara Desert（撒哈拉沙漠）． So far，Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11， 000，000trees．
Many years ago， there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong． It was harmful to the fields． Also， there was little rain， so few plants could grow and many people went hungry．Since the tree planting project started， the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness（湿度）of the air． Little by little， there appeared green fields for people to grow plants．
The project which began in 2007is supposed to cost a total of 8， 000， 000， 000dollars． Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting． So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future．

What's better for learning， hands﹣onprojects or tests？
动手操作的项目测试
A． Learning， not memorizing
B． Studying gets boring
C． Less stress with tests
D． Better job preparation
E． Better by the book
F． Creative learning
| （1）I think kids learn better by studying for tests． If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn， you'll remember it． Hands﹣on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time， and If you are stressed， you might not learn as much． |
| （2） When people study， they remember what was in the book． If they know they have a test， they will most likely to take notes on all the important information to help them with the test， so they will learn it better． |
| （3） With a hands﹣on project， you can be creative while you learn． It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards． Plus， with a hands﹣on project， you can learn more than you expected． It's more satisfying to learn on your own without someone explaining it to you． |
| （4） Hands﹣on projects are better． When you are studying for a test， it can get boring and then you can get distracted（注意力分散的）． You learn better doing projects because it is not boring and you experience new things depending on what you are doing． |
| （5） I think kids learn hands﹣on projects because they have to consider the topic， instead of just memorizing information that they'll forget about after the test． Also， completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family． |
