One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look. In my country, all the students should wear uniforms when they go to school. Boys aren’t allowed to have long hair. Girls aren’t allowed to have long or colored nails(指甲 ). Another difference is about the rules for parents. In Vietnam, when we begin a new school year, our parents have to go to a meeting in our class. If they don’t go to that meeting, their children won’t have a grade or a report card from school. However, in the US, there aren’t such strict rules above. In Vietnam, a class is only 45 minutes and we have only five classes each weekday. When the bell rings, the students just sit in their own classroom. They can’t move to a different one, but students can in the US. In Vietnam, students can’t go to work because they can’t find a job if they’re under18. But in the US, many students work after school. This helps them make money. More importantly, this helps them bee more independent. They’re able to do things by themselves in their own way, without asking other people for help. 61. Where does the writer e from? A. China B.

C “I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have e from thinking? Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽機(jī) ) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (鐘表的主發(fā)條 )? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鯨骨 ). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右銘 ) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thou
