American schools are quite different from those in China. In America，at the beginning of the term，students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to select their courses and teachers.

Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So in the first term，don’t select too many courses，or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects，time arranging，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 course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy 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. You must get ready before class. In class，discussing is very important. The teachers encourage you to ask/raise questions or show your own opinions/ideas. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.

21. American schools are the same as those in China.
22. American students can select their courses and teachers.
23. In America, students can buy used textbooks to save money.
24. Students in America can’t discuss in class.
25. You must do almost all the things yourself in American schools.

Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job that pays well. How much money can you make？Ask yourself these questions：What can I do？What skills do I have？Also ask yourself：
How much education do I have？For most jobs，the higher your education，the higher your earning power．
In the United States，high school graduates make about $18，600 a year. If you do not finish high school，you make only $10，800 a year. You can make $7，800 more each year by staying in high school!
If you stay in school，then you can make more money. A person with a high school degree makes about $18，600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree (学士学位)，he can make $42，000.With a master's degree (硕士学位)，he can make about $53，000.If the person gets a PhD (博士学位)，he can make almost $79，000 or more a year.
We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money，get a good education.

A recent report from Shaoyang Daily says about 18% of Shaoyang teenagers can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates. Zhang Qiang, a Junior 2 student from Shaoyang, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he couldn’t think of anything to write. Another student, a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas. She became so annoyed（恼怒的） with them that she started to cut her finger with a knife. However, many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets. In order to solve the teenagers’ problems, here is some advice :

●Talk to your parents or teachers often.

●Take part in group activities and play sports.

●Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.

In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except graduation or commencement(颁授学位典礼) day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks before the day.

Several days before Homecoming，students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team，and many other signs to welcome all the students. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after they leave school.

During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over，the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

Homecoming is a happy day，but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses，the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance，and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
