What does a typical day look like for a high school in the United States? Well everyone’s is very different. I can describe my normal day in high school for you.
Our school day usually went from 8: 30 a. m. to 5: 30 p. m. However, some days I had cheerleading (啦啦队) practice or play practice at 6: 30 a. m. If I had cheerleading practice I got ready at school, and if I had time, I ate breakfast at the school dining hall.
Then I would go towards my locker and get my books for the first period. Each class went for about 50 minutes and we had 4 minutes to get to the next class. We studied everything from science to match and Spanish to P. E. I played the flute (长笛) in band, so one of my class periods was used for that. Lunch-time would be at 12: 30 p. m. and then we had some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there was a seminar (研讨会) period.
I could be used for studying or meetings. After school, I would cheer at a basketball game, be a lifeguard (救生员) at work or have speech practice. My family always tried to have dinner together at around 7 p. m., but there wasn’t always time. I would finally start studying at around 8 or 9 p. m. So there you have it! That’s my typical day in high school.

“Rules, rules,” the old man always says. No student can be late for class. Everyone must keep quiet in his class, and finish homework after class. And no one can ask for leave (请假) on test day.

【推荐2】Today we started our new school term. We were very happy to see friends again. But the most exciting of all，the new term is the time to plan new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to plan new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year resolution.
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. You have to pay for some classes and others are free. For example，I once took a free Friday evening gymnastics(体操) class my school offered. But when I wanted to learn how to play the drum，my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons. We also like playing a role in the drama (戏剧) club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hob-bies left school with many extra skills.
I have not stopped any of the hobbies I began at school. Although sometimes I may feel very tired，there are also some good reasons for me to insist on it. And I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class. We have the same hobby and we spend time a lot.

【推荐1】The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage (孤儿院) knew little about her. The street where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else—to be independent (独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began to work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong Competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management (管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography (摄影). She has held several exhibitions of her works in many places—China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and support her family.
The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey has not finished yet.
1. Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage, ________.| A．she had lived with her parents whose names were not known |
| B．she had lived in the street for many years |
| C．the workers knew her well |
| D．she had learned to write and read by herself |
| A．popular and successful | B．understood by others |
| C．Miss Hong Kong | D．known to everybody |
| A．In 1987. | B．In 1985. |
| C．In 1980. | D．In 1975. |
| A．a newspaper | B．a science magazine |
| C．a history textbook | D．a novel |
| A．All the children at the orphanage liked Mary. |
| B．Mary was not happy working as a secretary. |
| C．Mary’s boyfriend was good at English. |
| D．Mary’s life in the orphanage was difficult |
But then, I don’t understand (明白) lots of things about school. I don’t understand why we have to take so many tests (考试). I have to take a heavy school bag with many books in it. I may have a test anytime. I don’t like taking tests all the time.
I wonder if I like my school life. It is hard for me to answer this kind of question. On one hand (一方面) I am not happy because there are so many tests in the school; on the other hand I am happy because I can learn a lot and I can make good friends in school.

Some people might think that the young are too young to know what they want. But people like Lu Kaigang prove them all wrong.
Lu, 23, a fashion model from China, grew up walking the roads in Guangxi Province. Now, he walks on some of the largest fashion catwalks (T台) in the world.
Lu had a supermodel dream when he was still in primary school. Although Lu didn’t have money or take any professional training, he didn’t stop from achieving his dream. Lu collected pieces of cloth from the factory he worked at and made them into beautiful clothes. In 2018, he started making videos of himself wearing his handmade clothes and posted them online.
In the beginning, the videos he posted didn’t get many “likes”. But he believed what he was would be recognized by the world someday. Then, Lu quitted his job (辞职) at the factory and went back to his hometown to spend time learning how to be a supermodel. He also began to use other materials for clothes, like plastic bags and even buckets, and kept posting videos online.
About one year later, Lu’s hard work paid off and he became a star online. He’s not just your ordinary (普通的) model. His one-of-a-kind clothes show off his talent and creativity, and his videos are mostly filmed on village dirt roads, adding a special and fresh background.
Lu has what money can’t buy: determination (决心) and self-belief. We can be sure that if he hadn’t followed his heart at young age, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
