二、阅读短文，回答问题
There is a playground in almost every school. It is usually a large and open space.
Why should a school have a playground? The reason (原因) is that there should be a place for students to do sport. After studying for a long time in the classroom, students are glad to run and jump. During playtime, we can see many girls and boys have fun together. But many of them often look a little sad when the bell rings. It’s time for them to go back to their classrooms.
After school, the playground becomes the most exciting place. Boys and girls play many kinds of games there. When there is a match between classes or schools, the place will be full of excited students. Teachers all think good students should also learn to play.
