Good afternoon. My name is Susanna. I come from America. I am a junior high school student. I will talk to you about the lives of American students in school.
In America, students usually get up at 6:30. After getting up, they often run for half an hour in the morning. When the class starts at 8 A. m., students need to learn some subjects. They learn English, Chinese, math, science, biology, music and art.
The students eat lunch at school at 12 o’clock. They have many kinds of food to eat, such as meat, vegetables, fruit, bread and so on, but hot dogs and hamburgers are their favorites.
Students have a short rest after lunch. The first class in the afternoon starts at 1:30 and school is over at 3:00.
After school, they always self-study and do their homework until 6:00 in the afternoon.
From 6 to 8 o’clock, they play games, exercise, read, write, draw and do other activities. They go to bed at nine in the evening. They sleep about nine hours a day. The students all think that their school life is very interesting.
That’s all. Thank you.

【推荐1】American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t choose too many subjects, 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, timetables, 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 subjects and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one 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.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.
Choose the right answer according to the passage.

There are many reasons why this treatment (治疗) is important. Dr. Marcus Finch of the Children’s Hospital said, “Children and teenagers have many changes as they are growing up. When they have problems, it is not easy for them to open up any talk. However, when they are with a pet animal, they calm down, relax, and smile. Animals do not speak and so they do not criticize (评论). They listen and they do not stop the children. Children can talk to animals because they can trust them. Animals know how to keep a secret! Also, the children feel needed because they help to feed the animals and look after them.”
At the Children’s Hospital, you can find children playing with cats, dogs, goats, and riding horses. The doctors just watch and take notes and wonder at the power of pets!

【推荐3】Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road rager (路怒族) when a driver suddenly cuts in front of you. That makes you angry! You need to know what to do with your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:
*Talk to a friend you can trust.
*Count to ten.
*Get or give a hug.
*Take some exercise.
*Draw a picture of your anger.
*Play a video game.
*Run around the outside of the house five times as fast as you can.
*Sing along with the CD player.
*Think good thoughts (maybe about a fun vacation or your favorite sport).
*Take a bike ride, go skating, play basketball—do something active!
Never getting angry is impossible. But when you are angry, you can do something and it can make things better or worse. Don’t let anger be the boss of you. Be in control of it!
