Texas High School Opens Grocery  Store That Accepts Good Deeds as Payment

How many high schools can say they have a grocery store inside their walls? The student-run grocery store at Linda Tutt High School in rural Sanger, Texas, provides food and other necessities to students and their families while teaching essential job skills. And the store doesn't accept cash, just good deeds. Instead of money, students shop using a point system.

The store, which aimns to address food insecurities for studentes and others in the community, is open Monday throuvh Wednesday for students and Staff within the school district. "A lot our studentes come from low socioeconomic families", principal Anthony Love told KTVT. "It's a way for students to earn the ability to shop for their families. Through har worl you can earn points. You can earn points for doing chores around the building or helping to clean".

The pioneering project ir run partnership with First Refuge Ministries, Texas Health Resources, and Albertsons (a grocery store chain). But nearly all the responsability falls on the studentes. They stoch the shelves, keep track of inventory, address sales, and monitor registers when items are purchased, "I think the most exciting part of it is just teaching our kids job skills they can carry with them as they graduate high scholl and move on into world", Love said to WAGA-TV. "Students are really the key piece to it".

According to the text, "...stock the shelves..." (paragraph 3) is an example of

A

point system.

B

grocery store chain.

C

chores around the building.

D

job skills.

E

food necessities.

Gabarito:

job skills.



Resolução:

To “stock the shelves” é a ação de colocar os produtos que são vendidos em uma loja nas prateleiras (repor mercadorias), portanto, alternativa correta é a letra D) job skills, como é possível ver no terceiro parágrafo: “(...) I think the most exciting part of it is just teaching our kids “job skills” that they can carry with them…” .

A) Incorreta. Preencher as prateleiras não se configura como um sistema de pontuação.

B) Incorreta. “Grocery store chain” é como se fosse uma companhia de mais de uma loja, o que não tem a ver com a expressão “Stock the shelves”

C) Incorreta. Tarefas ao redor do prédio não são um exemplo de “stock the shelves”.

D) Correta 

E) Incorreta. “Food necessities” se refere às comidas que são necessárias ou indispensáveis, o que não se caracteriza como um exemplo de “stock the shelves”.
