Question

阅读理解。

     American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term,
students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to
select their courses and teachers.
     Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don't select too many
courses, 4. or you'll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some
teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the
same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher
is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher
will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
     There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each
student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30-50. In order to
save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from
the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 5. 老师
鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。 They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to
sit or stand everywhere you like. They don't give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge
and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.
