题目内容

The students in America usually begin high school at the age of 13 or 14. Some leave at the age of 16. But most finish the 4-year high school study. They do not get their first full-time work or begin college studies until they are 17 or 18 years old.

The high school day is about 7 hours long. Part of the day is made into classes of about 50 minutes long. The students have lunch in the middle of the day. American students study English, history, math, science, art and languages. Some also learn job skills. They can learn how to use a computer or how to mend a car. Other students may learn by working in an office, a hospital or other places one day a week.

Jean Wilton Anderson is 16 years old. She lives with her parents and 2 younger brothers in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington D.C. Jean studies at Whitman High School. There are about 1500 students at the school. Most of them will go up to colleges.

Jean wakes up early every morning. She begins school at about 7:30. This is her third year of high school. Every day she takes classes to learn English, world history, physics and trigonometry. （三角）She also has a class about different religions（宗教）. And she plays the violin in music classes. School ends at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Yet, Jean stays 2 or more hours longer every day for sports. Jean arrives home at about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. She eats dinner. Then she starts her homework. She also spends a lot of time talking on the telephone with her friends. Students in America have their way of talking. They use the word “like” all the time. Jean and her girlfriends wear blue jeans and shirts or sweaters every day. The boys at her school also wear blue jeans. But they like to wear blue jeans that are several sizes too large for them.

Like students of her age in most part of the country, Jean began driving a car when she was 16 years old. She does not have her car. Most of the students in high school have their own car. Many of them drive their cars to school every day.

     Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor (心理医生) from  Beijing once said at an important meeting, "Now
many young students 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  around  them like their parents
and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem."
     Then Mr. Ma gave   some examples.  A  middle  school   studen t from  Xi'an   was doing badly in his
lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried

Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn't think of anything
to write.

problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won't go and ask for help.
