Unit 1 Teenage life Reading
你熟悉美国高中生的生活吗？让我们阅读下面的文章，走进美国的高中生活。
In America, after middle school comes high school which includes grades 9 through 12. Students should take certain subjects like English，social studies, maths and physical education. In addition, they choose among elective subjects to complete their high school education. Electives include subjects in technology, art and foreign languages.
Each student in the school has their own books and possessions, which saves students carrying textbooks.
Each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school students, such as homecoming, prom, holiday celebrations, etc.
While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school, it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King or Queen, and ends with a football game and school dance. The prom is a formal
dance for students in grades 11 and 12, and is generally accepted as the most important social event of the school year.
Most high schools have at least one sports team that competes in local events, and all students are encouraged to be involved in sports.
