【推荐2】Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1, 500 students. Every student is given a locker (锁柜). When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, clothes making and other classes. In some schools, students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school, more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photography or student government.

“Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid （避免）hitting other vehicles （车辆）or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk. ”
“It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot－pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street. ”
“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear. ”
“The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey （遵守）them, we should not have accidents any more. ”

Is there a way to quickly remember information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a solution. Scientists said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.
Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, they were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average（平均）than the other two groups.
This suggests that the connection between time and space is important in terms of（就……而言）how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed through space. So when we walk backward, we see things from a different angle（角度）compared to walking forward. This difference helps people remember things that happened in the past.
And walking backward is not just good for the brain. It is also good for the rest of the body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees. This might be why many old people like walking backward.
