E. It is the New Year's greeting in Korea.

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really 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 l, 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 lose 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 old, most take a free driving class at school for one term.  If students earn passing grades 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, Maths, 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: Health 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 classes, 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 and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

A cold winter night, a girl quarreled (争吵) with her mother, then ran out of the house. When she went through a noodle shop, she suddenly felt very hungry.

The seller saw her standing there and asked, "Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?"

"But... but I do not carry money..."she shyly replied to the man.

"Okay, I'll treat you. Come in. I will cook you a bowl."

A few minutes later, the seller brought her a bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, the girl cried.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!" she said with tears. "Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles. But my mother, after a quarrel, she is not a good mother!!"

"Girl, why did you think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were born. Why were you not grateful (感激的) and why did you hurt your mom?"

The girl was really surprised after hearing that. "Thanks, I got it."

At 15:40 on December 9th, 2021, the "space teacher", Wang Yaping, made some experiments in the Tianhe Core Module of the Chinese Space Station.

"Welcome to the ‘Tiangong Classroom!' " said Wang Yaping.

Taking a "spacewalk" is difficult. Ye Guangfu was working hard to walk, but his body floated! Then he tried to turn around but he couldn't. "In space, astronauts are in a weightless environment. So we need to use nearby devices (装置) to move," he said.

The paper flower "blooms". In the "Tiangong Classroom", Wang Yaping made a beautiful water film (水膜). Then she took out a paper flower and placed it on the film of water. The pink flower slowly "bloomed"! "I hope your dreams can bloom in the huge universe!" she said.

"Space Happy Ball" rings fun. Wang Yaping asked the children on the ground to put their ping pong ball in the water. The density (密度) of the ball was less than that of the water, so it floated up. In space, when she put the ping pong ball into the water, it did not float up to the surface. It stopped in the center of the water! "The buoyancy (浮力) disappears in a weightless environment in space so the ping pong ball cannot float (漂浮)." Ms. Wang explained.
