Shorter School Week

In most of the United States， students attend class for five days each week—Monday through Friday. Schools are required to hold classes for about 180 days a year. Recently， schools in some areas of the country have begun discussing the idea of holding classes for four days a week. Classes would meet either Monday through Thursday， or Tuesday through Friday. Some schools in twelve American states are now using that plan.

The students still have the same number of total hours in class as before. But they attend school for a longer time on each of the four days. In the western state of Colorado， schools on the four-day plan hold classes for 7.5 hours a day for 144 days. Traditional schools meet for 6 hours a day for 180 days.

Many schools on the four-day plan offer special programs for students or teachers， trips or sports competition （比賽） on the fifth day. Officials say this give students even more time in class than the traditional schools. Students do not have to miss school to go to the activities. Students can also go to doctors or other appoint-ments on the fifth day.

The main reason for shortening the school week is an economic one. Small school systems say they can save money by not giving meals or transportation for students on the fifth day. And they say research shows that students are not harmed by the shorter week.

Opponents （反對(duì)者） of the four-day plan say the research is not clear on this. They say the four-day plan has not been shown to improve students learning. And they say that three days off from school each week is a long time away from class.

1. Each year American schools hold classes for ___ .

A. 20 weeks B. 36 weeks C. 40 weeks D. 45 weeks

2. How can the four-day plan benefit the students according to the text？

A. They seem friendlier.

B. They become healthier.

C. They are more active in class.

D. They have more time for other activities.

3. Whats the main purpose of the four-day plan？

A. To save money.

B. To ease city traffic.

C. To improve school learning.

D. To make the kids work harder.

4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the opponents are kind of ___ .

A. worried B. disappointed

C. unfriendly D. satisfied

Lets Buy Some Paint

“Lets go to Wal-Mart，” Elizabeth told Kenneth. She wanted to buy some paint supplies. He suggested that they go to Home Depot instead because employees there could tell them exactly what to buy. After arriving there， Elizabeth found a friendly-looking worker who was free.

“Excuse me，” she said， “could you help us？” She explained that she wanted to paint her office. “Neither I nor my husband knows how to do it， so please tell us the basics，” she added. He smiled and told her that it was simple. All they needed were two gallons of white glossy paint， a roller， a tray and an insert （插入物） to pour the paint in， and an extension-handle （可延長(zhǎng)手柄） to reach the high parts of each wall.

“Dont we need primer （底漆）？” Kenneth asked. “Oh， yes， of course. I was getting to that. If you dont put primer on first， the paint wont stick to the walls. Here are two gallons of good， but inexpensive primer. And a brush would be a good idea for use in the corners and edges. And that should take care of it. Just put the primer on first. Let it dry for a couple of hours. Then put on one coat of paint. Let it dry. Then， if you want to， put on another coat， but it shouldnt be necessary.”

As they were putting the items into the trunk， Kenneth told her they should buy a ladder， too. “Were going to have to use the brush to paint up near the ceiling. The roller wont do in a corner，” Kenneth said.

“We dont need a stepladder. I can sit on your shoulders，” Elizabeth laughed. They went back inside and bought a stepladder.

American High School Life

美國高中生活

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. Elective subjects include 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.

Cheating in any form is strictly prohibited in American schools. And in fact， high school students usually dont cheat. A student caught in plagiarism， forgery， or copying another student faces severe discipline，even expulsion.

在美國，初中學(xué)業(yè)一結(jié)束就進(jìn)入高中，高中包括9到12年級(jí)。學(xué)生們要完成某些必修課，如：英語、社會(huì)學(xué)、數(shù)學(xué)、自然科學(xué)和體育。此外，學(xué)生們選修一些課程來完成高中教育，選修科目有科技、音樂、美術(shù)和外語。

每位學(xué)生在學(xué)校都有自己的儲(chǔ)物柜，用來存放書本或私人物品。這很方便，學(xué)生們不需要攜帶課本，而且還使得他們有個(gè)小小的空間，可以裝飾海報(bào)及心愛之物。

任何形式的作弊在美國學(xué)校里都是嚴(yán)令禁止的。事實(shí)上，高中生們一般不會(huì)作弊。若學(xué)生在剽竊、弄虛作假，或抄其他學(xué)生的作業(yè)時(shí)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，都會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲的處分，甚至是開除。

School Activities

學(xué)?；顒?dòng)

Each school holds certain yearly 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.

The prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12， and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year. It can also be a time of anxiety， as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom， and girls hope the right boy invites them. These couples dress in formal clothes—girls in long gowns， boys in suits. At the prom， students dance， have snacks and drinks， and chat. Prom usually ends with a Prom King and Queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience.

各學(xué)校每年都會(huì)舉辦一些全校性活動(dòng)，如：返校節(jié)、學(xué)年舞會(huì)、節(jié)日慶典等等。

返校節(jié)在每年秋季舉辦，通常選在周末，相關(guān)活動(dòng)可能持續(xù)一周。每所學(xué)校舉辦返校節(jié)的方式有所不同，不過通常都包括游行、返校節(jié)“舞會(huì)國王”與“舞會(huì)王后”的加冕，并以橄欖球賽及全校性舞會(huì)來壓軸。

學(xué)年舞會(huì)是為11和12年級(jí)學(xué)生舉辦的正式舞會(huì)。學(xué)生通常會(huì)把它看成是學(xué)年中最重要的社交活動(dòng)，這也是令人焦躁不安的時(shí)刻，因?yàn)槟泻⒆觽兊霉淖阌職鈱ふ椅璋槿⒓舆@個(gè)舞會(huì)，而女孩子們則希望自己的意中人能向自己發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)。男生女生要著正式服裝（女孩子穿長(zhǎng)禮服，男孩子著西裝）。舞會(huì)上，學(xué)生們翩翩起舞、吃點(diǎn)心、喝飲料、輕松地閑聊。舞會(huì)結(jié)尾，公布“舞會(huì)國王”及“舞會(huì)王后”的名字。在一群艷羨的觀眾前，“國王”和“王后”登臺(tái)加冕。
