Do you think your schoolwork is too hard? Do you feel you have too much homework? If you answer “yes”, you are in the same boat as most US kids. However, school life for them is about to get even harder.
A group of 13 states have decided to make their schools’ workload(工作量) much heavier, especially in math and English. Most students in US high schools work very hard. But it is not like in China, where almost all students have to work from early morning till late in the evening.
US students have a lot of freedom to decide how hard they should work. “Most students put in a lot of effort (努力), but some do almost nothing,” said Will Gordon, a teacher from North Carolina. “I think stricter rules will help those students who aren’t so focused (集中精神的).”
“For the most part, it’s good,” said Adam Jorve, 15, a student at Gordon’s school. “A lot of kids in public schools can hardly read when they graduate. However, for me, I wish I didn’t have the extra work.”
81. From the first passage we know that most US kids _______.
A. have a pleasant school life B. often go boating together
C. have hard schoolwork D. pay little attention to their schoolwork
82. Compared with Chinese students, kids in the US ________.
A. have a much heavier workload B. don’t have to work from morning till night
C. spend more time on math and English D. have no time to relax themselves
83. What freedom do US students have? They have the freedom to decide _________.
A. how hard they should work B. how long they stay at school
C. what to do and how to do it D. how much time they should spend on their work
84. 
In Will Gordon’s opinion, students who almost do nothing in school will be helped ______.
A. by strict teachers B. by their parents
C. through the strict management (管理） D. through stricter rules
85. The passage tells us mainly about _______.
A. the heavy load of Chinese students B. the heavy load of the US students
C. the freedom of the US students D. the different school life of the US students

Do you know what American students have to do in their schools? In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to choose their courses and teachers.
Choosing is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t choose too many courses, or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you choose the courses and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30～$50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get enough ready before classes. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to raise questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself.
