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 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 of age,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,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 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.

(B) Idioms (習(xí)語) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear,you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.

For example,if an American boy asks his mother what⁹s for dinner tomorrow,she may say “I'll play it by ear”，that means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. “Play by ear” used to mean playing music using the sheet music,but now people often use it when they’re not talking about music.

ThereVe many idioms in English. If you learn to use them,your English will be more vivid (生動(dòng)的) and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English.

Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”， you don't necessarily stretch (伸展) out your hand to him/her,but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand,you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand!You’re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience.

Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. “It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses ,” say the researchers from New York University.

“It seems that positive (積極的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In an earlier study,Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.

In this study,Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews,the people told researchers how they felt. They were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period,their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings,their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health,look on the bright side more often.
