To help students develop these social skills, schools offer a large number of afterschool activities, in other words, activities that take place outside classroom lessons. When deciding which students to accept, employers and colleges look for students who have skills in several areas. Exam grades are very important, but so are the afterschool activities. By taking part in these activities, students show their special talents, their ability to lead, and their ability to get on with others.Competitive sports, for example, baseball, are probably the most popular of all the afterschool activities. This is because, for many American parents, it is important that their children, particularly boys, learn how to compete successfully. Young people are encouraged to take part in team sports such as football and basketball, since these games teach you to have the “winning spirit”. For some students and their parents, high school sport is considered more important than academic achievements.During the long summer holidays, it is a custom for American children to spend several weeks at summer camps. There are thousands of camps, and they can be found all over the country. What these camps offer is an opportunity to take part in many different kinds of outdoor activities, for example, horse riding and water skiing. Older teenagers are more likely to get summer jobs or go camping with a group of friends. Many go backpacking in the mountains of the west.课外活动在美国，社交能力的培养被看作和智力水平的培养同等重要。为了帮助学生培养这些社交技能，学校安排大量的课外活动，即在教室里上完课后进行的活动。当决定接受哪些学生时，雇主和大学都寻找那些在多个领域有技能的学生。考试成绩很重要，但是课外活动也很重要。通过参加这些活动，学生们展示自己的特殊才能、领导能力以及与他人相处的能力。竞技体育运动，比如棒球，可能是所有课外活动中最流行的。这是因为，对许多美国父母来说，他们的孩子，尤其是男孩子，学习如何成功地竞争是很重要的。年轻人被鼓励参与团队性的体育运动，比如足球和篮球，因为这些运动教你拥有“胜利精神”。对一些学生和他们的父母来说，高中体育运动比学术成就更重要。在漫长的暑假期间，在夏令营度过几个星期已成为美国孩子的习惯。有数千个营地，在国家的各个地方都能找到。这些野营提供的是参加各种不同的户外活动的机会，例如骑马和滑水运动。年龄稍大的孩子更有可能找份暑期工作或者和一帮朋友去野营。许多人到西部山区背包旅行。Reading PracticeMy SchooldaysThey say that schooldays are the happiest days of your life, but not for me! My father worked abroad, so I was sent to a boarding school when I was seven. Like most schoolchildren, I had already been to nursery school. I could recite the alphabet, and read some simple books, but this was my first experience of the institution my parents called “big school”. In fact, the only preparation I had for this adventure was watching as my mother sewed my name tag into my shirts, trousers and woollen sweaters.I arrived with one suitcase, my only luggage for a term. I was shown to the dormitory where I would sleep with five other innocent boys. The bedding was a pillow, a sheet, and a thin quilt. There were two worn armchairs, a few shabby cushions, an electric kettle to heat water for tea, some posters for decoration but no curtains. The washroom had a basin and a bathtub, but no heating. Im ashamed to admit that I sobbed as I fell asleep that night.I remember that my first lesson was arithmetic. My first task was to multiply seven by three. No one explained why! It took me years to understand the greater mystery of algebra, geometry, and concepts such as cubic metres, acres and grams.We had a dynamic English teacher, a bachelor who had plenty of time for us boys and inspired my lifelong love of literature. There was also a teacher of botanical science, who introduced me to my passion for flowers and plants. We spent hours studying the structure of leaves under the microscope.School regulations were strict. Being punctual for classes was essential, no one was allowed to be late. Sport was compulsory, and every week we had to go for a fivekilometre run, wearing just a Tshirt and a pair of shorts even on freezing cold November days. We all had to attend morning assembly every weekday, except for boys of other faiths, who were allowed to stay in their classrooms. I wanted to become a Catholic simply so I could stay with my books!But there were also so many silly rules to follow, which irritated or even upset me. For example, everyone had to polish their shoes every day, and no one was allowed trousers with zippers, only buttons! On Sundays, it was compulsory to write home. Every day I would check my mailbox, looking forward to my mummys airmail letter. But my parents lived in Asia and, to my great disappointment, I only got a reply once a fortnight.I left eleven years later, with my school leaving certificate, and a scholarship to study at Oxford University. Many people talk about their happiness at school, but for me, at eighteen, all I felt was a sense of liberation.我的学校生活人们说校园生活是人的一生中最快乐的日子，但对我来说并非如此！我父亲在国外工作，因此我7岁时就被送到了寄宿学校上学。像大多数的学童一样，我已经上过幼儿园了。我能背诵字母表，阅读一些简单的书，但这是我在被我父母称为“大学校”的机构中的第一次经历。事实上，为这次冒险，我做的准备仅仅就是看着母亲把我的名字标签缝进我的衬衫，裤子和毛衣里面。我带着一个行李箱到了学校，那是我这个学期唯一的行李。我被领到了宿舍，在那里我将和其他五个天真的男孩共住。寝具就是一个枕头、一个床单和一床薄被子。宿舍里有两把磨损了的扶手椅，几个破旧的靠垫，一个用来烧水泡茶的电热水壶和一些装饰用的海报，但是没有窗帘。洗手间有一个洗脸盆和一个浴盆，但没有暖气。我羞于承认那天晚上我是哭着睡着的。我记得我的第一节课是算术。我的第一个任务是计算7乘以3得多少。没有人解释为什么！我用了几年的时间才弄明白代数、几何学的奥秘以及立方米、英亩和克等概念。我们有一位精力充沛的英语老师，他是一位有大量的时间跟我们这些男孩在一起的单身汉，他激起了我对文学的终生热爱。我们还有一位植物学老师，他引荐我热爱花儿和植物。我们会花几个小时的时间在显微镜下研究叶子的结构。学校的规定很严格。上课必须准时，任何人不准迟到。体育运动是强制性的，每个星期我们都必须跑五千米，跑时仅穿着一件T恤衫和一条短裤，即使是在极冷的11月份的天气里。我们都必须参加每个工作日的晨会，除了那些有其他信仰的男生，他们被允许待在教室里。我当时想成为一名天主教徒，那样就可以跟我的书待在一起了！但是还有很多必须遵从的愚蠢的规定，这些都使我感到生气甚至是恼怒。例如，每人每天都必须擦鞋，不准穿带拉链的裤子，只能穿带扣子的！在星期天，必须给家里写信。每天我都检查我的邮箱，盼着妈妈的航空邮件。但是父母住在亚洲，使我失望的是，每两个星期我才能收到一封回信。11年后我离开了学校，带着我的毕业证书和一笔去牛津大学学习的奖学金。很多人谈论学校里的快乐时光，但对于我来说，18岁时，我所感到的是一种解放的感觉。Cultural CornerThe American Art of CheerleadingWhat is a cheerleader?A cheerleader is a member of a team that dances and does gymnastics before and during competitive games such as baseball. They do this in order to encourage crowds to cheer their sports teams. The team is called a cheerleading squad. Cheerleading only exists in America, and today it is mostly girls that do it.What is the history of cheerleading?Cheerleading began in allmen colleges in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As time passed, more and more colleges started cheerleading, and more women started doing it than men. It was not until the 1920s that pompoms began to play an important part in cheerleading. At about the same time, cheerleaders began to include gymnastics in their routines. By the 1950s, most American high schools had cheerleading squads. In 1978, the National Cheerleading Championships were shown on television, and universities began offering courses in cheerleading. Today, cheerleading competitions are an important part of school and college life and for many squads, cheerleading is a very serious activity. Cheerleading squads can be found at most athletic events.How do Americans feel about cheerleading?For cheerleaders, their sport is just as serious as baseball or football. However, many Americans are amused by cheerleadingand see it as rather a stupid activity. Cheerleaders reply that a lot of training is needed to do the dance and gym routines. Many girls try to become cheerleaders but very few are accepted. To be a cheerleader is to play a very important part in your school. In fact, cheerleading is considered so important in America that several movies have been made about it！美国拉拉队的艺术什么是拉拉队队员？拉拉队队员是一支队伍中的一员，这支队伍在竞技类比赛如棒球比赛之前和比赛过程中跳舞和表演体操。他们这样做是为了鼓舞人们为他们的体育队加油。这种队伍被称为拉拉队。拉拉队仅存在于美国，而且现在的队员大多是女孩子。拉拉队的历史是什么？拉拉队在19世纪末20世纪初出现于男子院校。随着时间的推移，越来越多的院校开始组建拉拉队，并且加入拉拉队的女生比男生还要多。直到20世纪20年代，彩线球才在拉拉队队员的表演中发挥重要作用。几乎在同时，拉拉队队员开始把体操列入他们的常规表演中。到20世纪50年代时，大多数美国高中都有了拉拉队。1978年，全国拉拉队锦标赛在电视上播出，大学也开始开设有关拉拉队的课程。如今，拉拉队竞赛成为高中和大学生活的一个重要部分。对于许多拉拉队来说，当拉拉队队员是一件很严肃的事情。在大多数的运动赛事上都能看到拉拉队的身影。美国人怎么看当拉拉队队员？对拉拉队队员来说，他们的运动与棒球或足球运动一样严肃。然而，很多美国人觉得当拉拉队队员很可笑，把它看作一种愚蠢的活动。拉拉队队员回应说常规的舞蹈和体操都需要大量的训练。很多女孩努力想成为拉拉队队员，但只有少数人会被接受。要成为一名拉拉队队员就要在学校里扮演重要的角色。事实上，在美国拉拉队被看得如此重要，以至于有关它的电影都拍过几部了！1Which club would attract students who enjoy music？(P19)哪一个俱乐部会吸引热爱音乐的学生？attract vt.吸引This project has attracted his interest.这项工程吸引了他的兴趣。(1)attract ones attention吸引某人的注意attract sb. to sb./sth. 引起某人对某人/某物的注意(2)attractive adj. 吸引人的be attractive to 对有吸引力(3)attraction n. 吸引；吸引人的事物；吸引力tourist attraction 旅游胜地When the teacher wrote the math problem, several students raised their hands to attract_her_attention.当老师写下那道数学题后，几个学生举手以引起她的注意。China is_attractive_to tourists for its beautiful scenery and historic sites.中国的美丽风景和历史古迹对旅游者很有吸引力。Could you recommend some tourist attractions (attract)here?你能推荐一些这里的风景区吗？2For keen photographers only (P20)只欢迎摄影爱好者keen adj.渴望的；热切的；热心的；强烈的；敏锐的；锋利的He handed me a knife with a keen edge.他递给我一把锋利的刀。The blind have a keen sense of touch.盲人有敏锐的触觉。be keen to do sth.渴望做某事be keen on (doing) sth.
