One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes that you can 41 .For example, if you like 42 ,there are many art classes. At the same time, there are 43 classes, which you can’t take in middle school 44 photography and psychology(心理学).There are many new things in high school that make it much more 45 .
In high school, you’re able to join more clubs, play more sports, and take part in more 46 ,and at the same time make new friends with kids with the same 47 as you. Also, these activities can give you a 48 to learn something that you might not have had the opportunity to learn in 49 .
High school is different 50 everyone, but there’s one thing that’s 51 .You’re going to have just as much fun here as you 52 before. But having fun isn’t enough though! You’re 53 so you have to be more responsible. Everything changes when you get 54 ,but the changes aren’t that bad. You 55 worry too much about growing up.

I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from 36_ and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _37_ leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that 38 _ one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept _39_ alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk. I asked Tyler to take me home. With some 40 _ , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. Kim, my friend 41__ we were five years old, was killed in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Kim, who was _42__ more drunk than me, got into her car and 43_ towards the highway to go home, She was driving on the wrong side of the road and never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see her _44_ to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown 45_ the truck windshield(挡风玻璃)and died a week later.
Whenever I 46_ back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my 47 to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim 48_ the choice to drink and drive that night , but a part of me will always feel 49 _for what happened.
I may not change the 50_ with my story, but I do hope that I can make people 51 the responsibility that they have to themselves and others by 52 it. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours __53 .Every choice is like a stone dropped into 54 water-each ripple(波纹)represents someone who your choice 55 . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?

You Are Going Places
I work at a local restaurant in town as cashier, seater and waiter.
I went to work feeling 【小题1】 . And to make things worse, I was busy that evening.
It’s the same thing over and over again. 【小题2】 with customers who complain about their
food and where they are 【小题3】 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 【小题4】
a lot of us 【小题5】 but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 【小题6】
near where I keep the dirty 【小题7】 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables,
customers leaving and coming in and 【小题8】 running all over the house, it was crazy. 【小题9】
these elderly women were watching 【小题10】 I was working to make sure every table was clean
and ready for the next customers.
When they 【小题11】 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me
for a while about school, how I was doing, what 【小题12】 I was in and what I planned to do in
the future.
【小题13】 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 【小题14】
and gentle voice, “You are going places. And that was it.” They left the 【小题15】 and I had tears
in my eyes, because they gave me 【小题16】 to believe in myself. They 【小题17】 my spirit from
being down and gave me a 【小题18】 to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in 【小题19】 until I had a degree. I’m now
a co-anchor(联合支持人)of a student-produced television 【小题20】 . And the best thing is:
I’m only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year，Rowena will be attending Harvard University．Billy，her younger brother，hopes to go to Cornell．What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school．In fact，they've never been to school．Since kindergarten，they've studied at home．Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education．
The home-schooling trend began in the U.S．in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today，as the home-schooling trend continues to grow，parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places．But can parents really do a better job?
The answer in many cases is yes．In many studies，students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools．More importantly，these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge．They were well prepared for academic challenges．
One such student，Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling．Still, not every student is as successful as Robert．
“For every home-schooling success story，there are an equal number of failures．”states Henry Lipscomb，an educational researcher．“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.” For example，they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age．Consequently，they sometimes lack the usual social skills．“No matter what，though，”states Lipscomb，“home-schooling is a growing trend．I think we'll be seeing more and more of this．”
