    We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and all kinds of exams. Yet would it be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise) if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as stressful and demanding as it is in China?

    In US high school, everything{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(record) into your studying document, including your grades on quizzes, tests and final examinations. Failing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(turn) in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps contrary to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}we used to think of the US high school students, they pay more attention to their{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(academy) performance to try to get into a distinguished university.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, they'll be disappointed after graduation from high school.

    Like university students, US high school students have the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(free) to choose the courses that most interest{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they). Even a ninth grader can sit{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the same classroom as twelfth graders.

    The importance of punctuality (守时) in our daily lives{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) obvious. It affects both the individual (个 人) and the workplace.

    On {#blank#}2{#/blank#} whole, the workplace operates more smoothly when employees are punctual. For example, when everyone is on time for a meeting, the meeting will start smoothly as it{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (schedule). Punctuality may help you achieve advancement.

    Lack of punctuality affects the people in the workplace. It may lead to anger, as colleagues who are on time compare{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) with late-comers. Being late throws you out of the group, as you may miss important{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(inform). This causes a harmful division among employees. Leaders affect the entire workplace. When leaders are late, it sends an irresponsible message to employees{#blank#}7{#/blank#} may decrease their work enthusiasm. Lateness leads to stress, and stress brings{#blank#}8{#/blank#} poor workplace performance. Being consistently late may cause you {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(start) believing your lateness is acceptable. When this happens, you begin to blame outside circumstances and lose focus on potential solutions. To make matters{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bad), constant lateness can eventually make you lose your job.

    People with colour blindness can't see colours in a normal way. Colour blindness{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(affect) approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women in the world.

There are various causes of colour blindness. For the majority of colour-blind people, the condition is something they have from {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bear), although some people get it later in life because of diseases.

    Most colour-blind people can see things as clearly as other people, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are unable to fully "see" red, green or blue light.

The {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(common) form of colour blindness is red/green colour blindness. Although {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) as red/green colour blindness, the form of colour blindness doesn't mean sufferers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mere) mix up red and green. It means they mix up all {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (colour) that have some red or green as part of the whole colour.

Statistically{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(speak), most people with a moderate form of red/green colour blindness can only identify 5 coloured pencils from a standard box of 24 pencil crayons.
