American schools are quite different from those in China.In America,at the beginning of the term,students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America.So at the first term,don't select too many subjects,or you'll feel very nervous and tired.Then you have to ask for some teaching plans.There is some information about subjects,timetables,marks and textbooks.At the same time,you must choose the teachers.Different teachers have different teaching methods.If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade,many students will give up choosing him,because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework,too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers.How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard.The textbooks in America are very expensive.Each one is about$30﹣50.In order to save money,many students buy some used textbooks,and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.

In Western society,especially in the English﹣speaking world,the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important.Many young people,when they finish school at the age of 18,take a gap year before they go to university.
Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school.Although they are worried about their safety,many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries.Children are encouraged to be brave,independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.
Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side.This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life.For example,if they have a rich life,they may want to see how people in poor areas live.
A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives.A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions,especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.
Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university.So anywhere you travel in the world,you will meet young European people exploring the world.
So much of the world has been travelled and explored.The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences.Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting.Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand,helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.
These young people's wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of.Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.
(1)Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year?
A.Young people want to take a break from studying.
B.Young people want to be sure about what to study.
C.Parents encourage them to be brave and independent.
D.Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life.
(2)Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like .
A.experiencing different cultures
B.helping protect rainforests in Brazil
C.making friends with more people
D.enjoying traditional local food
(3)By taking a gap year,young people may .
A.stay with their parents all the time
B.make money for their further study
C.help change the world for the better
D.change the Western mind completely
(4)The purpose of writing this article is to .

四.阅读表达
I am Canadian.I started learning French when I was 10 years old.But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom.All of that changed,however,during my last summer of high school.As a 17﹣year﹣old girl,I flew across the country by myself for the first time!I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French﹣speaking host family,who didn't speak any English.And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school,the local school gave us students a test to determine(测定)our language level.We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends,seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French.Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning,the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends,my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province.On one trip,we went whale watching on the St.Lawrence River.Even though it was raining,we could see huge whales swimming around our boat.The most unforgettable(令人难忘的) part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City.I walked along the stone streets,took pictures of the European﹣style(欧式的)buildings,and learned some stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off!At the end of the summer,I was able to communicate pretty well.I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher.Being fully lost in a French﹣speaking environment was a valuable learning experience.And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
