六、任务型阅读。（2025·江苏徐州·调研）
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
In many Chinese cities, primary and middle schools have made class breaks longer from 10 to 15 minutes since the fall semester(学期) started. The governments(政府) want students and teachers to do more outdoor activities.
Before, Chinese schools usually had 10-minute breaks. But it was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools didn't let students leave the classroom during breaks because they were worried about safety.
Now, local education departments(部门) are trying to make school schedules better. They want students to have at least 30 minutes of exercise every day.
In Beijing, primary schools' morning and afternoon times haven't changed. Middle schools end five minutes later.
In Wuxi, Jiangsu, schools have 15-minute breaks and one PE class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of exercise at school. The education officer said this helps students play outside and talk to each other. They want to give break time back to students.
A Qingdao primary school has many outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop, and indoor puzzles during 15-minute breaks. In May, a fitness test showed that 47 percent of Qingdao students got "excellent" or "good" fitness grades, 10 percent more than before.
