In America, the school dayusually starts at 9 a.m. and finishes at about 4 p.m. The school subjects aredifferent from1. In China, we always2Chinese, math, English, P.E.and so on. But in America, students have more3, such as cooking anddriving lessons. Their school life isn't just4study. They also have morethings to do than（比）Chinese students. There are many clubs（俱乐部） in American schools,5. If the students areinterested in sports, they6join different sports clubs.American students also have art clubs, language clubs and some7clubs. From 2:30 p.m. to 4p.m., they do8things in these clubs.

    Maybe you think English isvery popular in the world, so American students don't need to9any other language.10that's not true. American children from the ageof seven have to learn a foreign language. For example, they learn French orChinese.

Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.

However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.
   Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive—French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.

When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a "takeaway". This means that they order from a take－out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

Most people love animals. Many children's books use animals as the main characters（角色）. Many people look after animals as pets. Do you know {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people enjoy going to zoos? The love for animals may {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the reason.

In the past, zoos were usually started by rich（富有的） people. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} zoo was started by a queen（王后）in Egypt in 1500 BC．Sadly, the animals in the early zoos were not treated well. They didn't receive（收到）{#blank#}4{#/blank#}attention or care.

Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they try to protect animals and teach people as well. Zoos must follow rules. People must provide animals {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a clean place to live, food and water, and health care. In this way, the rules help protect the animals.

Some people think the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are not enough. They want to do more to protect the animals they love. For example, people were against the use of some large animals in shows. They thought the zoos didn't have enough {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for the animals to show. With so many people against the shows, the zoos {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to make a change.

People see animals in zoos. At the same time, they try to learn about and protect {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Both people and animals can get a lot from each other.

It is true that people with better education* are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose* of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people don't have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

So what is education for? Education is well-rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.

Kate White is my friend. She has a big 1 . Here is a photo 2 her family. There are 3 people in her family. Her 4  is James. He is a doctor(医生). Her grandmother's name is Alice. She is a teacher(老师). They have a 5 and a daughter. They are Thomas and Cindy. Thomas is Kate's 6 and he is a policeman(警察). Kate's mother is Jenny and she is a nurse. Kate is 13 7 she is a middle school student. 8 is in No. 19 Middle School. Kate has a little brother. Her brother's 9 is Jimmy. Jimmy is three. Coco 10 their dog. It's very cute(可爱的). The 11 of it is white. Cindy is Kate's 12 and Charles is Cindy's husband(丈夫). 13 teachers. They have a little boy. 14 name is Tommy. Tommy is Kate's 15 . Kate loves her family very much. 

 Visiting museums can be interesting but tiring. You may spend hours getting there, waiting in a long line for a ticket, and walking with big crowds in the museum. But new kinds of technologies are changing museums and the way people visit them all over the world.

 Thanks to the Google Art Project, you may"walk through" museums while staying at home and enjoying an icy milk shake. It uses Google's Street View technology. You can see how paintings are hung and exhibits(陈列品) are placed as you move virtually (虚拟地) through the museums. You can also read the introductions of the works and download(下载) clear pictures of them. So far 560 museums around the world have joined the project, such as the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

 Some apps may also make your museum trips more fun. The Palace Museum designed a few apps. One is called Han Xizai's Night Feast. Users can see a big picture of Han's house and take a closer look at the people and the clothes within it by touching the screen. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City also made an app that allows users to draw their own modern art works.

 However, if you still want to visit museums in person, you probably won't be disappointed. Many museums are trying to allow visitors to interact(互动) with the exhibits using 3-D technology. The exhibition in Shenzhen shows a 3-D copy of ancient Chinese bronze chimes(青铜编钟). Visitors can"play" the chimes by simply touching them.

 With new technologies like this, visiting museums has become easier and more fun. So why not try it yourself?
