1.1 Review of the extra-curricular activity
In China, the extra-curricular activity began in 1956. At first, it mainly included physical exercises, productive work and learning groups. In 1982，the Ministry of Education defined the extra-curricular activity as “the extra-curricular activity is a continuation of the first activity. The purposes of the extra-curricular activity are to help expand students' knowledge, develop students' expertise, train students' thinking ability, practical ability and creative ability. Its characteristics are interesting, flexible, diverse, and effective." After decades of development, the study of the extra-curricular activityhas made great progress. Many advantages of the extra-curricular activity are widely acknowledged, like 1) the extra-curricular activity can expand students' knowledge and stimulate students'curiosity; 2) the extra-curricular activity can enrich students' spiritual life; 3) the extra-curricular activity can foster student's creativity and imagination; 4) the extra-curricular activity can develop students' organization and coordination capacity; 5)the extra-curricular activity can develop students' interests and their personality.
