Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share you lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk with him or her. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are two steps towards being friends again: tell your friends you have done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

A．find friends B．plant trees C．get happy D．keep fit

They also learn history, science, health and P.E. Students from Grade One to Grade Six usually only have one teacher for each year. They stay in the same classroom with the same students for all of their different subjects.
Secondary school has two parts: junior high school (sometimes called middle school) and senior high school. In the seventh grade, students begin to learn more subjects. They usually have between six and eight different classes each day. Each class has different students, and each one is taught by a different teacher.
Students have even more freedom(自由) in senior high school. Most students begin to study a foreign language like Latin, Spanish or French. There are also classes in business, computers and also courses like farming. Besides their required classes(必修课), students can also choose a few classes that they’re interested in, like art, choir or woodworking.
In most places in the U.S.A., students can leave school at age 16. But most kids choose to stay. After students finish school, they can choose to start working, go to school for two years to learn a profession(专业), or go to college.
