A train stops at a small station. A man looks out of the window and sees a woman. She is selling cakes. People from the train are buying the cakes. It is snowing heavily, and the man doesn't want to go out of the train. At that time he sees a boy. The boy is walking on the station near him." Come here, boy!" the man says" Do you know how much one cake is?" " One dollar" the boy answers. The man gives the boy two dollars and asks the boy to buy two cakes. "One is for me and one is for you. "the man says. A few minutes later, the boy comes back. He is eating a cake, the boy gives the man one dollar and says" There is only one cake left."
American schools begin from September after a long summer vacation. There are two terms in a school year. The first is from September to November, and the second is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school at the age of five. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school (中学). Primary (小学) students don't have many to learn in school. They usually have three or four classes a day. They don't go to school at weekends. They learn language— English, math, science, dancing, singing and so on. Most students' favorite subject is science. High school students take only four or five subjects each term. They're language—English or Spanish, math, Chemistry, history, biology, physics and so on. After school, they can do many interesting things, such as playing football, dancing, singing, painting and taking pictures. After high school, many students go to college. They usually have to pay (付钱) a lot of money. So many college students work after class.

I work in a bank from Monday to Friday. My house is near a park and is about ten kilometers from my office. I usually go to work by train. I usually get up at 6:30 am and take the train at 7 am. It usually takes me about thirty minutes to get to my office. The train is quick and cheap. I am never late for work.
