This article will describe a typical (典 型的) high school and its students.
34、 A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textboo
35、ks are expensive, students would like to loan(租借) instead of buying them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them. American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them
36、 to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state drivers exam, they can begin driving themselves to school. Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, m
37、ath, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design 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
38、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 regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-sch
39、ool activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead said that homework doesnt always have to be a headache. “Homework might be an una
43、voidable (不可避免的) part of school, but it doesnt have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.来源:学科网 Use your notebooks The brain is able to finish great works, but it is not

45、ve, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the nights list. Remove distractions (使注意力分散的事物) Computers on, music on, text messages receiving this is not multitasking, its distracting. Whitehead says that unless students are doing

He adds that this fact has been confirmed by studies. Think actively Getting homework done is the name of the
47、 game, but what happens if students are struggling with a question, or cant work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again. 来源:学。科。网 8 According to Whitehead, students should look up their textbooks and school n

If not, use the Internet. “Dont stare at (盯着) the question; ask how this question relates to what is being learned overall.” he says. Get organiz
