Module 2 Highlights of My Senior Year
By the time you graduate from high school, there are some things you should know to be successful in the future.Whether you go to college, or begin working full time, you will benefit from mastering a set of skills, useful not only in school, but in life.
Money management
Learning to manage your money means understanding how to keep track of your income and expenses.Take a course to learn basic knowledge on money management if your school offers one.Topics will include balancing a checkbook and learning how to compare prices while shopping for everyday items.
Time management
A high school student needs to learn how to budget her or his time.This involves knowing when to work, when to play, when to socialize (交际) and when to relax.Getting all of your tasks done and still having time to do the things you love will contribute to the peace of your mind and help reduce stress.
Goal?setting
The high school graduates should be able to set a goal and work towards it.This requires understanding which goal is realistic, and which is just a pie?in?the?sky vision.In addition, as a high school graduate, you must have a clear idea of how to get from point A to point B, taking the necessary steps to reach your goal.In general, knowing what you want and how to get it is a mark of adulthood.
Communication
Effective communication is key to human relationships.This includes knowledge of body language, etiquette (礼仪) and politeness when you get on with a variety of people.It also involves how you communicate in writing, whether it's an e?mail to your boss, a job application or a letter of complaint to your neighbors.
What makes you happy
Many high school students are stressed out due to a large amount of schoolwork and the college application process.Taking time to find out what makes you happy will help you avoid pitfalls (陷阱) when it comes to making big decisions in later life.

高中最后一年的精彩回放

[第1～2段译文]
我简直无法相信我的学校生活就要结束了。毕业舞会来了也结束了，我也最终获得了高中毕业证书。考试结束，这是一件好事。我太兴奋了，简直无法理清思绪！想想过几天我就要永远走出校门了，似乎有一种别样的感觉。我打算做的第一件事就是度一个长假！
同时，我发觉自己在回顾自己高中最后一年的时光，追忆所有发生过的美好往事。我决定把它们写下来，以便多年以后的某一天再次阅读时，往事就会涌上心头。
There's so much to remember?. One of the best things about this year has been working as? an arts editor for this newspaper. I've so enjoyed it! I love writing, and working on? this paper is my first step towards becoming a journalist, so this has been a real success? for me.
Something else I've greatly enjoyed is working as a peer mediator， someone who helps students to settle problems that they have with other students. At the start of the school year, we were given training in how to do this, and it's clear that this kind of work can really help people.I think I'll continue to work as a mediator when I go to college.
During the Easter vacation, I went on a short school skiing trip to the Rocky Mountains. I've been skiing quite a few times, but never with the school, and since two good friends came on the trip, we had great fun racing each other down the ski slopes.It's well?known that Americans are competitive， and I did enjoy it whenever I won our races！

[第3～5段译文]
要记住的事情太多了。今年最得意的事情之一是当上校报的美术编辑。我真喜欢这份工作！我喜欢写作并且这份报纸工作为我日后做记者迈出了第一步，所以这对我而言是真正的成功。
另外一件我非常乐意做的事情是做同龄人的调解员，就是帮助学生们解决同学之间的问题。新学年开始时，我们接受了培训，学习怎样做这份工作。很明显，这种工作确实能帮助人。我想当我上大学后我会继续做调解员的工作。
复活节假期期间，我参加了学校组织的落基山短期滑雪旅行。我以前滑过好多次雪，但从来没跟同学一起去过。我的两个好朋友也一起去了，我们比赛着冲下雪坡，玩得非常开心。众所周知，美国人争强好胜，每当我赢得了比赛，我都会为此欣喜万分！
Other things I'm pleased about— getting good grades on my final exams, and receiving the senior prize for English Literature. I was given a car by my parents so I've been able to drive to school, which is brilliant. And of course， I'll never forget being elected to the student council. I really enjoyed meeting the teachers and telling them how we, the students， feel about things, and what we think should happen in the school！
All these things have been wonderful. But I have to say, the highlight of the year was the senior prom. For an American girl, it's so important that you have a good time at the prom. Well, I did! Daniel, a boy in my English class, asked me to go to the prom with him, and I was so pleased — I'd been hoping he would ask me. I found a dress that suited me perfectly， and had my hair specially done on the day of the prom. It took two hours but it was worth it, as everyone told me I looked very elegant！ A group of us rented a nice car to take us to the prom. The food was delicious and I ate so much that I had to stop dancing for a while！ We shared a table with some good friends, and laughed and told jokes all evening. It's a great pity that it's probably the last time this will happen.

[第6～7段译文]
令我感到高兴的其他事情还有——期末考试取得优异的成绩、英国文学课获得最高奖项。父母送了我一辆车，所以我能够开车去上学，这真是太棒了。当然，我也永远忘不了当选为学生会成员的经历。我确实喜欢和老师们碰面，告诉他们我们学生有什么想法，认为学校里应该有些什么变化！
所有这些事情都非常精彩。不过我不得不说，这一年最精彩的还要数毕业舞会。对美国女孩来说，在舞会上玩得开心太重要了。而我，就玩得非常开心！和我同上英语课的男孩丹尼尔邀请我和他一起参加舞会，我太高兴了——我一直盼望着他来邀请我。我找到一件非常适合我的晚礼服，毕业舞会那天还专门去做了头发。这花了我两个小时，不过很值得，因为每个人都说我看上去非常端庄典雅！我们一群人租了一辆非常漂亮的车去参加舞会。吃的东西美味极了，我吃了很多，不得不在跳舞时停下来歇一会儿！我们和几位好朋友坐在一张桌子，整个晚上都在嬉闹，都在讲笑话。真遗憾，这样美妙的夜晚很可能不会再有了。
Daniel and I danced most of the dances together. But the big surprise of the evening was when I was elected prom queen！ This was so unexpected， and I can't tell you how good this made me feel! After the prom, a group of us drove down to the coast, and sat on the beach in our long dresses and dinner jackets. I shall never forget watching the sunrise over the sea — it was unforgettable！ Afterwards， we went and had an enormous breakfast in a nearby hotel — it was a perfect ending to a perfect school year.

a perfect ending完美的结局
[第8段译文]
丹尼尔和我一起跳了大部分的舞蹈。不过，那晚的大惊喜还是我当选为舞会的女王！这太出乎意料了，我简直无法告诉你这一切让我感觉有多棒！舞会后，我们一群人开车到海边，穿着长礼服和无尾礼服坐在海滩上，我永远也不会忘记观看海上日出的情景——这一幕真是令人难忘！后来，我们去附近的一个旅馆吃了一顿丰盛的早餐——为我们这个完美的学年画上了圆满的句号。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”
I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.
The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn't see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.
I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.
A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.
“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I'm doing it for him.”
She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.
Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.
I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice; I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and pride didn't stop.
语篇解读：这篇文章围绕在学校进行忠诚宣誓这一事情展开的。作者对这件事情非常虔诚，因为这表达了她对已过世的祖父的思念，而周围其他学生也对宣誓有了更正确的理解。
1．How did other students behave during later pledge periolds?

A．Happy. B．Excited.
C．Guilty. D．Nervous.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“There I couldn't see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that.”可知，作者对自己躲起来的进行宣誓有种罪恶感。因此选C项。
3．What would be the best title for the passage?

解析：选D 标题归纳题。文章主要围绕在学校进行忠诚宣誓这一事情展开的。第一段最后一句“We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”也可作为提示。因此选D项。
4．The author did the pledge every day because .
A．the flag had a special meaning for her
B．the headmaster required her to do so

B
In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, music, art, and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball (垒球), basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross?country skiing.
Many high school students have part?time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast?food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.
Sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graduation present. Others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle. Regardless, many teenagers feel it's a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.
Each school holds certain yearly (一年一次的) activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc.
Homecoming is celebrated each fall, usually on a weekend, and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, and ends with a football game and school dance.
语篇解读：文章讲述了美国高中的课程、体育活动、可从事的兼职、社交活动和驾驶等。

A．It is convenient for students.
B．It makes the students not bother to carry books.
C．It can be decorated according to the students' tastes.
D．It can be used to hide some expensive things.

7．We can infer from the passage that .
A．most high schools attach importance to sports

C．students in every state can get a driving license at 16

8．The main idea of the passage is about .

C．school sports D．school courses
解析：选B 主旨大意题。根据每段的主题(课程、兼职、活动、体育和驾驶)可知， B项综合概括了各段的内容；而A、C、D三项均是文章的部分内容，不能包括全部的主题。
C
It was the night before my election.I was running for Sophomore Vice President.
I had prepared a performance for the election — a funny boxing match.The fight had popular moves as seen in Dodge Ball, Iron Man, and Super Smash Brothers.In the end, I would perform my famous move, the Power?Punch from Hot Rod.
My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排练)the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects.This is where my brother came in.He stayed up all night to work on that soundtrack.And when my computer's disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student's week's worth of incomes to replace it.
Why would he go into all that trouble？Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me.He knew because it was once important to him.Having graduated from Layton High just a year earlier, he knew what it was like to be in the centre of people's attention.He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience.
I ended up losing the election, but that day changed my world forever.The lesson my brother taught me became my most important belief.But it wasn't until I had a similar opportunity that I really understood why he cared so much.
What did it take for me to understand？It was the performance.The rest of the cast and I would rehearse every day after school for 6 months all for what？The chance to perform a play eight times.As I came out on that stage for the first time and listened to the laughter, I was filled with joy.By the end of the play, the audience broke into tears, and so did we.What happened？We had the sweet opportunity of giving them an unforgettable theatre moment — a moment to laugh, reflect, and shed tears.
语篇解读：为了作者的竞选，作者的哥哥熬夜帮助了他，由此也让作者明白了一个很重要的道理。
9．Why did the author prepare a performance?
A．To prove he had a gift for performing.
B．To introduce moves from some movies.
C．To celebrate his success after the election.
D．To increase his chance of winning the election.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was running for Sophomore Vice President.”以及第二段的“I had prepared a performance for the election”可知，作者这样做是为了增加赢得竞选的几率。
10．How did the author's brother respond when the computer's disk burner went out?
A．He decided to give up in the end.
B．He bought one with his own money.
C．He found another way to make music.
D．He borrowed one from a college student.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“And when my computer's disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student's week's worth of incomes to replace it.”可知，作者的哥哥自己掏钱给他买了一个。
11．What does the underlined word “imperative” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Important. B．Pleasant.
C．Difficult. D．Useful.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第四段画线词前面的“out of all the other important things”和后文的“He knew because it was once important to him.”可知，作者的哥哥知道这件事对于作者而言很“重要”。
12．What did the author most probably learn from his brother?
A．We should try our best to do everything well.
B．We should spread the kindness we have received.
C．Family members should always support each other.
D．Happiness comes from what we do to brighten others' life.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第五段提到的lesson可知，作者从哥哥那里了解到一个道理，而直到自己有了相似的经历才真正明白哥哥为什么如此在意演出、帮助自己，而此道理就是最后一段提到的“the sweet opportunity of giving them an unforgettable theatre moment”给他人生活带来美好时光，这是一种幸福，故D项最合适。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Developing good study habits isn't easy. 1 In this way, you'll become more and more successful as a student.
Start by allowing no interruptions. 2 You have to give 100 percent of your attention to your work.Don't allow yourself to be distracted by friends or fellow students.Keep your goal in mind; know what you have to do and when it needs to be done.Don't let other people influence you into not doing your work.
3 If you study best in the morning, plan to do your hardest subjects first.Remember not to leave today's work till tomorrow.A delay like this is called “procrastination”．If you delay for any reason, you'll find it more and more difficult to get things done when you need to.You may rush to make up the time you wasted getting started, resulting in careless and error?filled work.
Another good way to study is to take part in partnered and group?study sessions.These allow students to share ideas, and help each other deal with difficult material. 4
Forming good study habits can be difficult at first, and requires energy and a strong will.But if you commit yourself to it, success will be yours. 5 By doing so, you will know that you have tried.If you are satisfied with what you've done and know that you have tried your best, your grade will be the icing on the cake.
A．Figure out when you're most productive.
B．It's impossible to study while chatting or watching TV.
C．Always give your best in the classroom and in study sessions.
D．Putting off your task for any reason can make it difficult to finish on time.
E．You may do well enough but maybe you can hardly achieve your goal easily.
F．But start with a plan, put in a lot of hard work, and studying will become easier.
G．In addition, learning among students is a good way of getting a firmer grasp of the material.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了养成良好的学习习惯的方法和策略。
1．选F 承接上文“Developing good study habits isn't easy.”可推知，此处表示还是有比较容易的办法的，所以选F项。
2．选B 承接上文“Start by allowing no interruptions.”并与下文“Don't allow yourself to be distracted by friends or fellow students.”呼应可推知，学习要专注，边学习边聊天或者看电视是不可能的，所以选B项。
3．选A 承接下文“If you study best in the morning, plan to do your hardest subjects first.”并根据本段的整体内容可推知，本段主要讲的是弄清楚学习的最佳时机，所以选A项。
4．选G 承接上文“These allow students to share ideas, and help each other deal with difficult material.”可知，集体学习有助于分享观点，帮助彼此解决困难的学习材料，从而更牢固地掌握学习内容，所以选G项。
5．选C 承接下文“By doing so, you will know that you have tried.If you are satisfied with what you've done and know that you have tried your best, your grade will be the icing on the cake.”可推知，在学习过程中要竭尽全力才能够成功，所以选C项。

⑦Whether it will do us harm remains to be seen.
⑧It's a good thing that the exams are finished.
[我的发现]
(1)以上句中，①～④句中黑体部分均引导表语从句，而⑤～⑧句中黑体部分则引导主语从句。
(2)由④句可知，主语为名词reason时，表语从句中的连接词要用that，而不用why。
(3)由⑤⑥句知，引导主语从句时，what要在从句中充当句子成分，而that不作任何成分，只在语法上起连接作用。
(4)⑧句中，it用作形式主语，代替that引导的主语从句。
一、表语从句
1．定义
在复合句中作表语的从句，叫作表语从句。它位于主句的系动词之后，对主语进行解释、说明，使主语的内容具体化。
2．引导词
引 导 词 用 法 例 句
从 属 连词 that，whether (不能用if) 在从句中不作成分，that没有实际意义，不可省略；whether意为“是否” The trouble is that I have lost his address. 麻烦是我把他的地址丢了。 The point at issue is whether we go to the party. 争论点是我们是否去参加聚会。
because 说明主语所表示的事件发生的原因，意为“因为” He has heart disease. That is because he has been smoking too much. 他有心脏病。那是因为他抽烟太多。
as if/though 从句表示的情况发生的可能性较小时常用虚拟语气 It seems as if he doesn't know the answer. 他好像不知道答案。
连接代词 who(ever)，whom(ever)，whose，what(ever)，which(ever)等 在从句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语等 Every year, whoever makes the most beautiful kite will win a prize in the Kite Festival. (2017·北京高考) 每年，在风筝节上风筝做得最漂亮的人将赢得一份奖品。
连接副词 when，where，why，how等 在从句中作状语，表示时间、地点、原因、方式等 The last time we had great fun was when we were visiting the Water Park. 我们最后一次开心地游玩是我们参观水上公园的时候。

⑤The question is how we can get in touch with him.
⑥The problem is who will come to replace her.
⑦This is because it is raining outside.
3．注意事项
(1)that与what的区别
that引导表语从句时，是连词，在从句中不作成分；what是连接代词，引导表语从句时，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语。
That was what she did this morning on her way to school.
那就是她今天早晨在去学校的路上做过的事。
(2)because与why的区别
because引导表语从句时强调原因，why引导表语从句时强调结果。
She often comes late.That's because she has a baby to take care of.
她经常迟到。那是因为她有一个孩子要照顾。
She has a baby to take care of.That's why she often comes late.

[名师点津] 名词reason作主语时，后面的表语从句表示原因时要用that引导，而不用because。
The reason why he was late is that it was raining hard.

③My belief is that I will succeed by working hard.
④I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella.That is why I got wet through.
⑤You always make the same mistakes in the exams.I think that is because you are too nervous.

①在表示建议、劝告、命令等含义的名词后的表语从句中，谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略。
My suggestion is that we (should) have a discussion about this matter instead of just laying it aside.
我的建议是我们应当讨论一下这件事，而不应该只是把它放在一边。
②as if/as though引导的表语从句常用虚拟语气。用一般过去时表示现在，过去进行时表示现在进行，过去完成时表示过去，could/would/might＋动词原形表示将来。
It looks as if he were ten years younger today.
今天他看起来好像年轻了10岁。
[即时演练3] 用所给词的适当形式填空

可以肯定的是电影《战狼Ⅱ》是一部成功的影片。
Whichever of you comes in will receive a prize.
你们当中不论哪个进来都将得到奖品。
[名师点津] whether/if在从句中不充当句子成分，起连接作用，意为“是否”。whether引导的主语从句既可放在句首，也可放在句尾；if引导的主语从句只能放在句尾，前面用it作形式主语。如果whether引导的主语从句用it作形式主语，whether可换成if。
Whether life exists on other planets is not clear.
其他星球上是否存在生命还不清楚。

不管发生什么事都要保持镇静。
Your support is important to our work. Whatever you can do helps.(2016·北京高考改编)

课外活动
[第1段译文]
在美国，社交能力的培养被看作和智力技能的培养同等重要。为了帮助学生发展这些社交技能，学校安排大量的课外活动，换句话说就是在教室里上完课后进行的活动。当决定接纳哪些学生时，老板和大学都寻找那些在多个领域有技能的学生。分数固然重要，课外活动也不容忽视。通过参加这些活动，学生们展示自己的特殊才能、领导能力和与他人的相处的能力。
Competitive sports?， for example, baseball, are probably the most popular of all the after?school activities. This is because?， for many American parents, it is important that their children , particularly boys, learn how to compete successfully. Young people are encouraged to take part in team sports such as football and basketball, since these games teach you to have the “winning spirit”. For some students and their parents, high school sport is considered more important than academic achievements.
During the long summer holidays, it is a custom for American children to spend several weeks at summer camps. There are thousands of camps, and they can be found all over the country. What these camps offer is an opportunity to take part in many different kinds of outdoor activities, for example, horse riding and water skiing. Older teenagers are more likely to get summer jobs or go camping with a group of friends. Many go backpacking in the mountains of the west.

竞技体育运动，比如棒球，可能是所有课外活动中最受欢迎的。这是因为，对许多美国父母来说，他们的孩子，尤其是男孩，学习如何成功地竞争是很重要的。年轻人被鼓励参与团队性的体育运动，比如足球和篮球，因为这些运动教你拥有“胜利精神”。对一些学生和他们的父母来说，高中体育运动比学业成绩更重要。
在漫长的暑假期间，在夏令营度过几个星期已成为美国孩子的习惯。有数千个营地，在全国的各个地方都能找到。这些野营提供的是参加各种不同的户外活动的机会，例如骑马和滑水运动。年龄稍大的青少年更有可能找到暑期工作或者和一帮朋友去野营。许多人到西部山区背包旅行。

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning of a Prom King and Queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school. High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat (游船). But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip?hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?

Section Ⅴ Writing — 介绍学校生活
一、写作要领
介绍学校生活，一般分为两种：一种是给出表达的主题、提纲材料；另一种是开放性作文，只给出主题或简单的提示。第一种作文较简单一些，只要按照所给材料把主题表达清楚，不遗漏要点即可；第二种作文复杂一些，要发挥主观想象，但不能偏离主题。这就要求在写作文之前要列出写作要点，关键词汇和句型。
若写具体活动时，还需注意以下基本要求：
1．主题明确，内容充实。文章中的故事要有头有尾，要有高潮，要把何人、何事、何地、原因等几方面交代清楚，避免空乏、笼统的话。通过对人物、事物和景物的描写，表现出故事的主题和作者的思想感情。
2．层次分明，有条有理。记叙文除了有开头语及高潮性的结尾外，还要注意描写的层次要清楚，挑选一些典型事例或细节加以合理安排，用最简单易行的方法，按时间的先后顺序进行描写。
3．主次分明，详略得当。叙述时还应注意主题鲜明、清楚、具体，内容真实感人，抓住典型事例。对中心事件和最能表现中心思想的地方，即主要情节加以详细描写，对次要情节则少写，不重要的东西可不写。
二、增分佳句
1．How time flies!
2．I've made friends with ...
3．I've made rapid/great progress (in ... )
4．We did ... in our spare time.
5．I took part in different/all kinds of after?school activities.

When he said this, I didn't want to forgive him because I was so 18 with him for so long, but 19 I forgave him.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Fixed or growth mindest — which do you have?
We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing, which means that there is a requirement for a change in mindest (思维模式)．In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.
A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life.When you receive information about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks, you may worry about how you are judged.Our parents probably said to us when we were young, “Since you scored really well in that test, you must be clever.” However, by being repeatedly told “You are clever” or “You are really great at your job”， a person's self?esteem (自尊) is actually damaged.
The growth?mindset individuals view life as a series of exciting challenges and want to constantly learn.Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do better or improve.They do not view their abilities as fixed or as failure.Learning is king and the more they practice, the more they know they will succeed.
What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability.For example, instead of saying “Since you got a great score, you must be clever”， say “You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard”．This creates a challenge in individuals and encourages them to take on more tasks, responsibilities and risks.
The meanings of mindsets are massive for business.If you have fixed?mindset managers, they will not be fans of giving feedback (反馈)．They will not want to change themselves or others because they fear failure.Therefore, the business could stagnate because there is no risk or innovation (创新) occurring.
Listen from your own fixed mindset — for example, “I can't do that” — and answer with a growth?mindset response — “I can't do that yet！” Remember, there is no such thing as failure and there's only learning.If you don't fail occasionally, you will never learn to change and grow.
语篇解读：固定型思维模式和成长型思维模式在生活中随处可见并影响着我们的发展，哪种更加可取呢？本文解读了成长型思维模式的优势和固定型思维模式对人们发展带来的不利影响。
1．What is the author's opinion of people's mindsets?
A．A growth mindset means no failure.
B．People need to stand a fixed mindset.
C．People should develop a growth mindset.
D．A fixed mindset helps to protect reputation.
解析：选C 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句“In order to be on top of ...we need to develop a growth mindset.”可知，作者的观点，即我们为了个人和组织的成功都应该保持成长型思维模式。
2．Which of the following judgments is more encouraging to those with a fixed mindset?
A．You are clever.
B．You are skillful.
C．You have worked hard.
D．You are great at your job.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, by being repeatedly told ...self?esteem is actually damaged.”可知，他们觉得这样的评价毁灭了他们的自尊，故A、B、D选项错误。根据第四段第一句可知选项C这类的评价会使得他们更受鼓励。
3．What do the growth?mindset individuals support strongly?
A．Keeping on learning.
B．Viewing ability as failure.
C．Giving praise around ability.
D．Learning from the fixed mindset.
解析：选A 推理判断题。从第三段和最后一段可知拥有成长型思维模式的人对待生活、对待自己能力的态度。特别是第三段最后一句“Learning is king and the ...they will succeed.”更明确了他们所推崇的是不断学习，他们相信只有不断的学习才会成功。
4．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Make progress. B．Stand still.
C．Keep moving. D．Be successful.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。第五段说明思维模式对于生意的影响是巨大的。从画线词所在的句子和前一句“They will not want to change themselves ...there is no risk or innovation (创新) occurring.”可知，这两句是因果关系。意思是他们害怕失败不愿意去改变，因此他们不会有机会，没有创新，生意就会停滞不前。
加餐练(二) 主观题规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn't speak any English. And I vividly remember 1 (try) to only speak Italian in 2 party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.
I don't know if you know this, but 3 (tell) jokes in another language is one of the most 4 (pain) experiences you can imagine.
I began the joke.“C'era una volta (Once upon a time) ...”
Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian words. And 30 Italians were staring at me, 5 (wait) for the joke to come to an end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a 6 (thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.
7 today, that memory continues to be one of the 8 (happy) moments I've ever experienced. And it's the reason 9 ， over the last four years, I 10 (study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
语篇解读：作者曾经在为意大利朋友举办的聚会上，用意大利语讲了一个笑话，引来满场掌声。
1．trying remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”。这里表示作者回忆往事。
2．the 这里的party特指作者为意大利朋友举办的聚会，故用定冠词the。
3．telling 此处用tell短语的?ing形式作主语。“我不知道你是否了解，但用另外一种语言讲笑语是你能想象出的最痛苦的经历之一”。
4．painful 用pain的形容词形式修饰名词experiences。
5．waiting wait for表示“等待”，Italians与wait for 之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词，表示伴随。
6．thunderous 这里用形容词thunderous 修饰名词laugh, thunderous 意为“雷鸣般的”。
7．Until 由后面的continues可知，这个经历对作者的影响持续到今天。until today 意为“直到今天”。
8．happiest 根据后面表示范围的定语从句“I've ever experienced”可知空格处应用happy的最高级。另外，空格前的the 也暗示此处应用形容词的最高级。
9．why 先行词是the reason，关系副词在从句中充当原因状语，故用why。
10．have been studying 根据时间状语“over the last four years”及语境可知这里应用现在完成进行时。
Ⅱ.短文改错
Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, which made me staying in a hospital for at least two weeks. I called my parents, but I did not tell them what happened. I knew that they will be worried about me because I was so far away, and my mother would not sleep if she knew the accident. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was right to do so.
答案：第一句：before→ago; 去掉for
第二句：Unfortunate→Unfortunately; staying→stay
第三句：happened前加had
第四句：will→would; and后加that
第五句：interested→interesting
第六句：truth前加the
第七句：think→thought
Ⅲ.书面表达
假设你校校报正在举办以“My Ideal High School”为题的征文活动，请你写一篇100词左右的英语短文应征，内容包括：

My Ideal High School
Though my present school is great, I have been dreaming of a school that satisfies all the students.
My ideal high school would be like this：The school is located near a small river, at the bottom of a green hill, with beautiful flowers blooming all year round.Subjects can be selected according to the needs and interests of students.If so, we must be interested in everything taught in school.The timetables are flexible, and teachers just need to appear in the classroom when necessary.My wish is that there will be no examinations forever.
Without the pressure from examinations, we can take part in any of the after?school activities we like.What a wonderful school life!

The meanings of mindsets are massive for business.If you have fixed?mindset managers, they will not be fans of giving feedback (反馈)．They will not want to change themselves or others because they fear failure.Therefore, the business could stagnate because there is no risk or innovation (创新) occurring.
Listen from your own fixed mindset — for example, “I can't do that” — and answer with a growth?mindset response — “I can't do that yet！” Remember, there is no such thing as failure and there's only learning.If you don't fail occasionally, you will never learn to change and grow.
语篇解读：固定型思维模式和成长型思维模式在生活中随处可见并影响着我们的发展，哪种更加可取呢？本文解读了成长型思维模式的优势和固定型思维模式对人们发展带来的不利影响。
1．What is the author's opinion of people's mindsets?
A．A growth mindset means no failure.
B．People need to stand a fixed mindset.
C．People should develop a growth mindset.
D．A fixed mindset helps to protect reputation.
解析：选C 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句“In order to be on top of ...we need to develop a growth mindset.”可知，作者的观点，即我们为了个人和组织的成功都应该保持成长型思维模式。
2．Which of the following judgments is more encouraging to those with a fixed mindset?
A．You are clever.
B．You are skillful.
C．You have worked hard.
D．You are great at your job.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, by being repeatedly told ...self?esteem is actually damaged.”可知，他们觉得这样的评价毁灭了他们的自尊，故A、B、D选项错误。根据第四段第一句可知选项C这类的评价会使得他们更受鼓励。
3．What do the growth?mindset individuals support strongly?
A．Keeping on learning.
B．Viewing ability as failure.
C．Giving praise around ability.
D．Learning from the fixed mindset.
解析：选A 推理判断题。从第三段和最后一段可知拥有成长型思维模式的人对待生活、对待自己能力的态度。特别是第三段最后一句“Learning is king and the ...they will succeed.”更明确了他们所推崇的是不断学习，他们相信只有不断的学习才会成功。
4．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Make progress. B．Stand still.
C．Keep moving. D．Be successful.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。第五段说明思维模式对于生意的影响是巨大的。从画线词所在的句子和前一句“They will not want to change themselves ...there is no risk or innovation (创新) occurring.”可知，这两句是因果关系。意思是他们害怕失败不愿意去改变，因此他们不会有机会，没有创新，生意就会停滞不前。
加餐练(二) 主观题规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn't speak any English. And I vividly remember 1 (try) to only speak Italian in 2 party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.
I don't know if you know this, but 3 (tell) jokes in another language is one of the most 4 (pain) experiences you can imagine.
I began the joke.“C'era una volta (Once upon a time) ...”
Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian words. And 30 Italians were staring at me, 5 (wait) for the joke to come to an end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a 6 (thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.
7 today, that memory continues to be one of the 8 (happy) moments I've ever experienced. And it's the reason 9 ， over the last four years, I 10 (study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
语篇解读：作者曾经在为意大利朋友举办的聚会上，用意大利语讲了一个笑话，引来满场掌声。
1．trying remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”。这里表示作者回忆往事。
2．the 这里的party特指作者为意大利朋友举办的聚会，故用定冠词the。
3．telling 此处用tell短语的?ing形式作主语。“我不知道你是否了解，但用另外一种语言讲笑语是你能想象出的最痛苦的经历之一”。
4．painful 用pain的形容词形式修饰名词experiences。
5．waiting wait for表示“等待”，Italians与wait for 之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词，表示伴随。
6．thunderous 这里用形容词thunderous 修饰名词laugh, thunderous 意为“雷鸣般的”。
7．Until 由后面的continues可知，这个经历对作者的影响持续到今天。until today 意为“直到今天”。
8．happiest 根据后面表示范围的定语从句“I've ever experienced”可知空格处应用happy的最高级。另外，空格前的the 也暗示此处应用形容词的最高级。
9．why 先行词是the reason，关系副词在从句中充当原因状语，故用why。
10．have been studying 根据时间状语“over the last four years”及语境可知这里应用现在完成进行时。
Ⅱ.短文改错
Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, which made me staying in a hospital for at least two weeks. I called my parents, but I did not tell them what happened. I knew that they will be worried about me because I was so far away, and my mother would not sleep if she knew the accident. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was right to do so.
答案：第一句：before→ago; 去掉for
第二句：Unfortunate→Unfortunately; staying→stay
第三句：happened前加had
第四句：will→would; and后加that
第五句：interested→interesting
第六句：truth前加the
第七句：think→thought
Ⅲ.书面表达

My Ideal High School
Though my present school is great, I have been dreaming of a school that satisfies all the students.
My ideal high school would be like this：The school is located near a small river, at the bottom of a green hill, with beautiful flowers blooming all year round.Subjects can be selected according to the needs and interests of students.If so, we must be interested in everything taught in school.The timetables are flexible, and teachers just need to appear in the classroom when necessary.My wish is that there will be no examinations forever.
Without the pressure from examinations, we can take part in any of the after?school activities we like.What a wonderful school life!

W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I'm in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

Sea, sun, sand and South Africa: readers'
favourite beaches

Robben Island beaches
On a visit to the prison museum here, be sure to leave time to explore the island's beaches. Few visitors realise that the island's shores are the natural habitat of sizable penguins: enjoy watching them with far fewer tourists here.Bird life is plentiful and includes oystercatchers, ibis, egrets and cormorants.Sharks and dolphins can often be spotted offshore too.
Sand, sea and sculpture, Durban
There's more to Durban's Golden Mile than sunbathing and surfing.Not only is there a gallery of sand sculptures and drawings, but Lucas, one of the best local artists, offers lessons.His amazing rhino (犀牛) is the only permanent item in a frequently changing exhibition.Lucas charges a modest R50 (￡3) for a fun and surprisingly physical hour of creativity.Or, you could ask him to create a personalised sculpture for a special occasion.
Paternoster, Western Cape
Paternoster is a small beach community about 150km north of Cape Town.The town has a number of rentals (租赁), all the Cape Dutch architecture you could want for a weekend away and some great food.Long walks on the beach, eating and drinking and watching the fishing boats make for a peaceful break.And, unlike in Cape Town, you can dip your toes in the sea without your legs freezing solid.

No one can doubt the fact that education plays an important role in a person's life. However, different people prefer different ways of education. Recently, a survey in Canada found that about 40 percent of high school students are not in favor of daily homework, which quickly led to a heated discussion about whether daily homework should be ended or not in schools.
Some people insist that daily homework helps students a lot. Yet others are for the opinion that homework is nothing more than a routine activity that cuts time for leisure or physical exercise. It's true that out?of?class activities should be valued in a student's development, but from my point of view, homework still plays an important role in one's life.
Doing daily homework is a way to build a foundation for a person's self?development. In the long run, student's study habits will be more developed and their awareness of the importance of learning will be raised by doing homework every day. An experiment carried out by the University of British Columbia found that former students who did homework every day still take part in self?study every day even though they have already graduated. Homework also helped give them a deeper understanding of how important education is in a person's life.
Students doing homework every day also have better time management skills, since daily academic exercises can help them plan their free time more effectively. Take me as an example, I spent a lot of time playing video games when I was in primary school when there was little homework to do. After I got to middle school, the time I spent on homework began to increase greatly. But it did not become a burden for me. Instead, it helped get rid of my gaming habit as well as improve my ability to manage time.
Doing homework not only develops students' good habits and knowledge, but also improves their ability to manage their spare time. Although doing daily homework isn't ideal for everyone, people have to admit that the advantages it brings are more valuable than the harm.

At the age of 16, Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said：“I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”
As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.
In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.
Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6?by?8?foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.
Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn't stopped working to protect the environment.

A new study finds a lack of education for young children in developing nations seriously affects the country's economic progress. The organization Results for Development called R4D performed the study. The Non?Governmental group is based in Washington D．C. Its study says children who are not attending primary school are an unused source of economic growth for their country.
R4D says it performed the study because it was worried about a growing worldwide problem in education.
Milan Thomas works for R4D. He says there has been progress in reducing the number of children who do not attend school, but he says that progress has slowed in recent years. He says there is no disagreement that children with basic education can look forward to a better life.
“The benefits associated with primary education are really undisputed at this point because there are countless studies showing that children who complete basic education tend to enjoy better health and higher incomes over their lifetimes，” said Thomas.
But he says even though the value of education is known, it is important to find new ways of proving that value. So the organization led its work with the question, “what is the estimated cost to a nation's economy of its out?of?school children？”
The study uses information from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, as well as studies of developing labor markets. The results indicate the losses suffered by 20 developing countries if more young children can not get basic education. Milan Thomas says the study also considered earnings the children not attending primary school would never receive.
He says the research found that it is far more costly in sub?Saharan Africa to have primary school age children out of school than to educate them. He notes the cost to provide all children with primary education is much less than the average cost of not providing the schooling.
He says he hopes the study will prove to local governments and policy makers the value of a basic education for all children. And he says he hopes it will move them to provide that education to primary school age children in their country.
语篇解读：最新研究表明，发展中国家小孩子缺乏教育将严重影响这个国家的经济发展。因此对小孩子的教育会在国家的经济发展中起重要的作用。

C．Because some states don't provide children with education.

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段“R4D says it performed the study because it was worried about a growing worldwide problem in education.”和第三段可知。
34．What do R4D find in their study?
A．20 developing countries suffer the losses.
B．Not providing schooling cost more than educating children.
C．The number of children not attending school is increasing.
D．An educated person lives a better life.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He says the research found that it is far more costly ... with primary education is much less than the average cost of not providing the schooling.”可知。

B．R4D conducted a survey about children's education.
C．Having children out of school costs less than providing primary education for children.
D．Education for young children plays an important role in a country's economic progress.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容并结合第一段中的“A new study finds a lack of education for young children in developing nations seriously affects the country's economic progress.”可知。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether we can achieve what we want depends largely on whether we can stay motivated (有积极性的) most of the time. 36 Is the difficulty of better achievements widening from the previous one？Or is there a brick wall too high to climb up？To help you stay motivated, you can learn to adopt these four things that successful people do to keep themselves motivated all the time.
They stay focused on the big picture.Most of us tend to lose focus on the big picture because things at work can get so repetitive and boring.You may start to complain in your office. 37 “Look at me, I'm starting to turn into a dead man walking”．
You'll start to question whether your goal is worth fighting for and guess what？100% of the time, it's worth it once you've achieved it.So keep your eye on the goal all the time.
They write their ideas down all the time.How to stay motivated to do more？Successful people do that by writing down their ideas all the time.Why？ 38 You will never know whether one idea in your notebook could be the next revolutionary big thing.
39 Many successful people always have praises for their partners for getting them where they are today.If your partner is not supportive on things you want to achieve, communicate to find out why he/she doesn't like what you're doing.The end goal is to let your partner know that you'll put all your effort into getting a brighter future for both of you.

As a tour guide, I'm glad to tell you that more and more tourists are paying attentions to environment protection. Several years before, in one place of interest I saw rubbish throwing away everywhere, such as waste paper, plastic bags. However, some tourists climbed trees or picked up flowers. Some even scared or catch little animals. What's more, some of them made a fire to cook, which might cause a forest fire. Recently great changes had taken place. Most tourists take rubbish away with them while they leave. They no longer hurt little animals. Trees and flowers are well taken care. In the forest, smokers give up smoking so as not to start a fire. Now I sing high praise for so good deeds.

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning of a Prom King and Queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school. High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat (游船). But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip?hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?

课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”
I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.
The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn't see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.
I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.
A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.
“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I'm doing it for him.”
She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.
Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.
I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice; I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and pride didn't stop.

In America, after middle school comes high school, which includes grades 9 through 12. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, social studies, math, science, and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, music, art, and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own locker for books and personal items. This convenience saves students from carrying textbooks, and allows students a small space they can decorate with posters and favorite objects.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in athletics. Schools often offer football, baseball and softball (垒球), basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer. Some may even have sports like golf, swimming, gymnastics and cross?country skiing.
Many high school students have part?time jobs by the age of 15 or 16, some even earlier. Their first jobs are often babysitting or cutting lawns, but later they will likely get a job at a fast?food restaurant, video store, or clothing shop.
Sixteen years old is legal driving age in most states, and students usually want to own a car as soon as they can. Some parents allow their children to drive a family vehicle, and may even buy a car as a graduation present. Others prefer that their sons and daughters earn enough to purchase a used vehicle. Regardless, many teenagers feel it's a necessity to own a car, and will do whatever it takes to be able to drive.
Each school holds certain yearly (一年一次的) activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc.
Homecoming is celebrated each fall, usually on a weekend, and events leading up to it may last all week. While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, and ends with a football game and school dance.

I had prepared a performance for the election — a funny boxing match.The fight had popular moves as seen in Dodge Ball, Iron Man, and Super Smash Brothers.In the end, I would perform my famous move, the Power?Punch from Hot Rod.
My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排练)the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects.This is where my brother came in.He stayed up all night to work on that soundtrack.And when my computer's disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student's week's worth of incomes to replace it.
Why would he go into all that trouble？Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me.He knew because it was once important to him.Having graduated from Layton High just a year earlier, he knew what it was like to be in the centre of people's attention.He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience.
I ended up losing the election, but that day changed my world forever.The lesson my brother taught me became my most important belief.But it wasn't until I had a similar opportunity that I really understood why he cared so much.
What did it take for me to understand？It was the performance.The rest of the cast and I would rehearse every day after school for 6 months all for what？The chance to perform a play eight times.As I came out on that stage for the first time and listened to the laughter, I was filled with joy.By the end of the play, the audience broke into tears, and so did we.What happened？We had the sweet opportunity of giving them an unforgettable theatre moment — a moment to laugh, reflect, and shed tears.
