二、阅读理解
10.Do you always focus on studying and getting "A" grades in school Most Chinese students work really hard. But in the United States, you might be considered a bookworm(书呆子)if you cannot socialize(社交). Socializing is as important as your grades. If you just study all the time and don't socialize, your life won't be complete. So, how does one socialize with students in the US
Lots of high schools often have soccer games during the autumn term. I didn't know anything about soccer, but I joined some of the soccer games in order to have fun with my friends. I thought I could learn the rules from others. However, to my surprise, some American students don't even know the rules but still go to the games in order to socialize. They cheer for the soccer players and have fun together.
The other common way to socialize is to join after-school clubs. You can choose clubs that you are interested in and make a lot of new friends. For example, one of my friends started a sketch(素描) club. I was interested in sketching, so I joined the club. There I met lots of students who were also interested in sketching. We soon became friends with each other.
Socializing is an important thing in the US. But grades are still important, too. An all-around student should have the ability to balance(平衡) his or her studying and socializing.
