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 1,500 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 lost 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 of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students' exam 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, math, 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 cache 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 take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports, specially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

Nowadays, protecting our environment has become an important topic for us. All of us live in one world. We are making waste every minute. When we finish reading a newspaper, the paper will become waste. When TV sets or computers are broken, they will become waste, too. Among all the waste we make, plastic(塑料的) bags and rubber（橡胶） stand out and catch people's attention. 

Plastic bags are often used in our everyday life. The number of used plastic bags is going up day by day. We like to use them because they are convenient (便利的). When we get home, we throw the plastic bags away as waste. These are called "white pollution" as most plastics are white. Rubber  is also common (常见的) in our daily life. Many things we use are made of rubber, just like the bottom part of our shoes. However, it also brings us some trouble. The rubber waste pollutes the environment very badly because it can't break down easily in nature - it will not change for a long time.

To solve the problems above, we should take action at once. For example, when we go shopping, we can bring cloth bags but not plastic ones. And we should do something to recycle (循环使用) rubber. Our small actions can make a difference and lead to a better future.

Hello, I'm Tina Green. I'm a 15-year-old schoolgirl. Today, I'm going to show 1 two of my favorite things that I have had for three years.

2 you can see, there is a brown guitar hanging on the wall in my bedroom. I like musical instruments(乐器), especially the guitar. It is a guitar 3 a long history but it still looks new. My father got it from my grandfather when he was a teenager and then he 4 it to me as my birthday present three years ago. I always use it 5 . I will give it to my child in the future.

6 second thing is my schoolbag. It is a good schoolbag for middle school students who need to carry7 books every day. First of all, it 8 of a strong material that will stand up to a lot of wear and tear(磨损). In fact, I tested it and it didn't tear easily. Also, the material is waterproof(防水的), so books won't get 9 in the rain. Last but not least, it doesn't weigh a lot. Of course, leather(皮革) schoolbags may look cooler, but they are heavier. 10 a heavy schoolbag is bad for your back, so the truth is, I prefer this one.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last（持续）very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat(对待) you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. 

Honesty helps start a good friendship. Friends must be able to trust（信任）each other. If you don't tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you are not honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends should always speak and act honestly. 

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don't have to give your lunch money, your clothes, or your hobbies. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better. 

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better. 

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. 

Recently, a video game named Black Myth: Wukong has been a great hit all over the world. Black Myth is China's first AAA video game. Why is it so popular? It is because of the Chinese culture inside it.

Wukong is a main character from Journey to the West, a Chinese classic god-evil novel written 500 years ago. "Chinese god-evil stories are fantastic themselves. No one would dislike them once they start to learn about them. And my game just opens a window." Said Feng Ji, the game's producer. For this reason, although players from other countries were not fans of Chinese culture, they are now "hard-working" on every detail（细节）of the novel. For almost the first time, the world tries actively to understand Chinese culture.

The beautiful scenes（风景）in the game are also attractive. Among the 36 places that appear in the game, 27 are real in Shanxi Province. Take the Hanging Temple for example. It was built nearly 1,600 years ago and truly hangs on a steep cliff（峭壁）. Players are amazed when they realize it is a true attraction.

An American player said, "China is rich in culture and stories. I hope we can get more like this. I would love to go to China some day."
