Question

【題目】 At the Cool Beans Cafe in Virginia, US, a dollar can buy you a cup of fresh coffee. But your purchase (購買)also helps the seventh-grade students with special needs who run (經(jīng) 營 )the cafe at Poquoson Middle School. They get experience with job skills and social communication outside of the classroom by working at the cafe.

They really get a lot out of this, said Heather Hopkins, the teacher who started the cafe and taught the students how to run it.

The five students who run the cafe each have a specific job. Jake Mann, the supply (供應(yīng)) manager, looks at customers’ online orders and helps Braden Jobst, the barista (咖啡師), prepare the coffee. Alex Sarber, the barista assistant, adds any extra ingredients that the customers want.

The drinks are delivered (遞送)by J.J. Shibuya. Jasmine Baker, the cashier, goes on deliveries with J.J. and collects money and tips from their customers.

Hopkins started the coffee shop program this school year with $1,600 (10,040 yuan), which was provided by the Virginia Department of Education. The department gave the money to create chances for students to practice self-determined behavior and independence (獨(dú)立).

But even though the shop runs like a business, there’s plenty of chances to have fun. For example, Jake likes to pose for photos and admire pictures of the shop’s employees (雇員).

The students take pride in their work. They have discussed their work at a school board meeting and at a recent expo (展覽會(huì)) of instructional programs at Poquoson schools. For them,running the cafe isn’t just about selling coffee. It’s about improving their social skills and discovering the tools that they’ll need to succeed in life.
