　　近年来，素质教育在全国搞的有声有色，各学校开展的活动也丰富多彩，下面的一篇文章让你了解我国素质教育的真谛。

　　To get a good mark in examinations has been regarded as being most important for a student, and it is also what parents always expect their children to do．But is it enough? These days increasing attention has been paid in schools across the country to what is called quality education．It means that a student, besides doing well in exams, should develop his skills in other ways in order to turn himself into a qualified(合格的)graduate of the country．

　　“ Quality education”, said Xing Jizu, Party Secretary of the Education Bureau of downtown Hongkou District Shanghai, “ aims to help students to gain a high moral(道德的)standard(水平), a strong sense of patriotism(爱国主义), a strong wish for learning, as well as a sound mind and body．

　　“ We need reforms(改革)to achieve our goal for quality education, ” Mr．Xing Jizu said．He also outlined what they planned．

　　Xing said that the return of Hong Kong to the mainland(大陆)in July 1997, for example, was regarded as a very good chance for educational advance．A lot of related activities were organized at all the schools in Hong Kou．

　　Besides, all schools in the district were advised to set up after－class art or science groups．A students’ art festival is to be held in each school every year．

　　As for physical education, every student is required to have at least one hour of exercise a day．Every year, a sports meeting will take place at each school．

　　Besides, various kinds after－school activities will be organized to help develop the students’ practical and social abilities．

　　“ What we are doing is by no means weaken the importance of the regular classroom teaching or exam results．” Xing pointed out, “ Instead, we hope that through quality education, students can learn more, in less time, in an easy way．Only in this way can we bring up children fit for the bright future of China．”

　　Have you ever dreamed about a trip to space? Seeds(种子)of some vegetables and crops are a lot luckier than you, as they have travelled to space and back．

　　China is among the three countries in the world that carry out agricultural(农业的)research in space．The others are Russia and the U．S．Since 1987, China has sent about 1000 kinds of seeds into space．These include green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and rice．Even on China's first manned spacecraft Shenzhou V there were some seeds from Taiwan．

　　“Conditions(条件)in outer space such as radiation(辐射)and low gravity can cause big changes in the seeds, ” said Chinese researcher Jin Xing．

　　But not all seeds are better after going to space．After returning to the earth, the best seeds are chosen．These seeds produce much more and also grow faster than normal seeds．As the safety of genetically modified(转基因)food is still being talked about, some people are not sure about the safety of these “space vegetables” because some of their genes(基因)are changed during the trip to space．

　　But Jin holds the more hopeful view．He said, “Unlike genetically modified crops, no new genes are introduced to the space vegetables, so they are surely safe．”

　　Space vegetables are better than normal vegetables．For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes．Another popular space vegetable is the peppers．Space peppers have 20 per cent more vitamin C than normal peppers．

　　Researchers are considering holding a tomato festival．By the time people will be able to enjoy about 30 different kinds of space tomatoes on their dining tables．

　　So far, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has set up three space vegetable base fields, one of which is in Shenzhen while the others are in Beijing and Jiangsu Province．
