Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school.When we talked, I discovered 1 differences in school life between the US and China.For example, each class 2 fifty minutes in the US.It is a little 3 than that in China.We usually have forty-five minutes in each class.Another difference is that they have less break time between 4 .Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their 5 classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they 6 eat lunch quickly.Their afternoon classes begin at 1∶00 pm and school is over 7 3∶00 pm.Then they take part in club activities or play sports.
Many Chinese students don’t work during their high school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in 8 free time.They don’t have a dream job in mind.They think 9 is no difference between jobs.Working is a useful experience for them and they make money at the same time.Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs 10 they leave high school and then go to college.
Earth Hour(地球一小时)is a global event organized by World Wildlife Fund(WWF)and it is held on the last Saturday of March every year.It asks people to 1 their lights and other electrical appliances(电器)like computers for one hour.In this way, people can pay 2 attention to the climate(气候)change and know that it's important to save the earth.
Earth Hour first 3 in Sydney in 2007.More cities around the world followed Sydney's lead in 2008. 4 March 28, 2009, 88 countries and more than 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour.From 8:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m., Beijing, Dalian, Hangzhou, Hong Kong and many 5 cities in China took the action, too. 6 shops closed and people used candles at home.The UN said that it 7 save the energy(能量).
The world seems to be a dark world 8 the lights are turned off.However, people are trying to do something to save the 9 in such beautiful “dark moment”.This year, WWF encourages people to make a small change for the environment every day.Now, 10 you join us?
