湖南常宁市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选编（二）阅读理解训练 (2015青岛市一模)what are american high schools like? well, im happy to tell you what i know.when i started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. at this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. unfortunately i missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. i was really sad. i wished id known about it earlier.despite the disappointment, however, i gradually adapted to my new life and school.there is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. as we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.it really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. we only have textbooks for world history and algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. for other classes, we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them. without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. for example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. we never know what we will learn.another difference between american schools and chinese schools is that american schools care about students morality more than their academic studies. for example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.i think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. i think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.文章大意：本文是说明文。主要介绍了美国的高中学校是什么样子的。1what was the writer sad for?ahe was late for school.bhe missed the trip at the beginning of school.che didnt know anyone.damerican students looked down upon

conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in edinburgh.the idea was to reunite europe after the second world war.it quickly attracted famous names such as alec guinness,richard burton,dame margot fonteyn and marlene dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团).it became a fixed event every august and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.at the same time,the “fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a

scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of edinburgh.today the “fringe”,once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.and yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.a paid administrator was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during august itself.in 2004 there were 200 places housing

by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. they offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and childrens theatre. usually, performers are amateurs who

theatre” was started in europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. in 1910，this idea traveled to the united states. in the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”，as most simply want to infuse little culture into the lives of the local citizens. in many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. these productions are
