Why may few go to bed before nine o'clock? They need meet all kinds of exams. So they are swimming in the homework pool. They only do this for a good college. They usually talk about their good grades. 2 Most of the time they send emails to their friends and talk to them. They don't often talk about grades. On Friday nights they like to go to the movies instead of staying at home for homework.

Don't American students care about whether they can go to college or not? Of course they do!For good students, just like Chinese students, but they have different ways. 3 They also care about their extracurriculum(课外的) activities like soccer teams and others. So most of the students who are good at sports mostly will join sports teams that they are interested. 4 Joining teams is both fun and a good look on college resume(简历).

Although American students don't have much homework, they are busy on their way to go to college. 5 They have to take and pass before they graduate. Students have to do lots of extracurriculum activities, too.

B.Sometimes they study even later!

C.Chinese students have more tests.

D.That is what they do in their free time.

【题目】Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”.
