Jill and Kate are going hiking (徒步旅行) with their classmates tomorrow. They want to take some fruit with them. Jill likes oranges and Kate likes apples. When they get to the market, they can’t find any oranges, and the apples are too green. “What are we going to buy now?” asks Kate. “Hey, what’s that big round fruit over there?” asks Jill. “I don’t know. Let’s ask the sales-girl.”“ What do you call this?” “Youzi,” answers the girl. “Why don’t we buy one?” asks Jill. “OK. We’re going to have lots of fun in hiking and eating a new kind of fruit!” says Kate.
1．Kate is going hiking this afternoon.Like schools in China, American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June. Usually American children begin to go to school when five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
But unlike middle school students in China, high school students in America take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and have homework for every class. After class they do all kinds of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college. They may go to a small or a large one. The usually have to pay a lot for their higher education. So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.
