Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? This article will describe a typical (典型的)high school and its students.
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 textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借)than buy 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 to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing rages in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, 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: heath education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classed, 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 are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports—especially football. Basketball, baseball or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are
troubled by sounds over which we may have lit
tle
or no control: car and house alarms, motorcycles, loudspeakers, even movie
previews.
We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports
events at which the music is so loud that you can hardly hear the person
sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are o
ften
turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone.
As if environmental noise were not enough, now we sur
round
children with n
oisy
toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing.
A series of studies conducted in 2002 indicated that even moderate (缓和的) backgroun
d
noise can interfere with how they learn language. In fact, children in
classrooms on the noisy side of a school had lower reading scores
than those whose classes were on the quiet side.
Noise-induced (噪音诱发的) hearing
loss can come about in two ways: from a brief exposure to a very loud noise or
from consistent exposure to moderate-leve
l
noise. Thus, there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3 players
that are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound, like street
noise. An MP3 player at maximum volume produces about 105 decibels(分贝)— 100 times as severe as 85 decibels, where hearing
damage begins.
So, before buying noise-making toys, parents would do
well to listen to how loud they are. If the item comes w
ith
a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest
level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, or disable the
noise-making functio
n.
Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be w
arned
to keep the volume down. Most iPads have a control that allows parents to set a
maximum volume.
Avoid taking children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the management to turn down the volume or insist on your money back.
The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, doing puzzles, making things with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting libraries and museums.
