Life in an American high school is an interesting and exciting learning experience. High school in America is not just a place for studying some subjects. It is also an important social centre, where students can develop other interests and talents.

The high school course is divided into four years. The teenager usually starts school about 8:00 a.m, and ends at 3 p.m. There is no school on weekends. Students have lunch at the school cafeteria. After lunch they play sports, talk to friends or simply relax. The lunch break lasts about an hour.

When the school day ends, some students go home, but many still stay at school for after-school activities. There are many activities and clubs to choose. In the afternoon many students practise sports with the school students team. Sports are an important part of high school life. American high school students like to be “popular”. This means being a good student, being active in the community and being well-liked by others. Most American high school students have part-time job during the school year and a full-job during the summer. Parents encourage their children to work because it's part of growing up and becoming responsible and independent. Most high schools have a job list to help students find work. Teenagers are fond of their jobs!

2.Are after-school activities and clubs only for a few good students or for many students?

Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It's a well-known pattern(模式)," said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework."

He points out that differences among households(家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.

Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of housework, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from 6 in 1976 to 13 in 2005.

Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.

Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom(扫帚) more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.

Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours.

1.According to the "well-known pattern" in Paragraph 1, a married man ________.

A.takes on heavier work B.does more housework

C.is the main breadwinner D.is the master of the house

2.How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?

A.About 23. B.About 28. C.About 13. D.About 6.

3.What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?

A.An unmarried man. B.An older married man.

C.A younger married man. D.A married man with children.

4.What can we conclude from Stafford's research?

A.Marriage gives men less freedom. B.Marriage has effects on job choices.

C.Housework sharing changes over time. D.Having children means doubled housework.
