After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track-Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.

When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

The colorful clothes we wear today are made by machines.But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful？Tie﹣dye（扎染）was away to do this.

Students from Taizhou Middle School，Jiangsu Province，experience farming during their labor（劳动）course.As we all know，the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.

    On June3，2020，the Ministry of Education （MOE）（教育部） gave a document（文件） showing the revised curriculum（修改后的方案）for senior high schools across the country.Labor education includes housework，school labor and community voluntary（志愿的）services and so on.

     " Labor education must be carried out（实施）with the purpose to make the right view（观点）of the world，life and values and develop an interest in doing chores，" said Vice﹣Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.

    According to China Youth Daily，the labor course will take six credits（学分）﹣﹣﹣ the same as foreign language and physics.Voluntary service，as part of labor education，would take two credits.The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.

    According to Xinhua，adding labor education was out of care that the country's young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren't important.Because of a lot of school pressure，schools pay more attention to the course of education，and parents may think that the chores waste their kids' time.

    According to a survey，middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores，compared with 72 minutes in the US，42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
