American schools begin in September after a two-month holiday. There are two terms in a school year. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June.

Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen years old when they finish high school.

High school students take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and they have homework every day. After class, they do many interesting things.

After high school many students go to college（大学）. They can go to a small one or a large one. They usually have to spend a lot of money. So many college students work after class to get the money for their studies.

Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighbouring farms. For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single problem.

However, one autumn, things changed. It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse, which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the brothers.

One morning there was a knock on Paul's door. He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days' work, " the builder said. "Are there any jobs I could help with?"

"Yes, " answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder. "I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek（小溪）.That's' my brother's farm. That creek used to be a grass field but last week my brother dug a path from the river and made the creek. But I'll go him one better. See that pile of wood? I want you to build me a fence, two metres tall, so I won't need to see him anymore."

The builder said thoughtfully, "I think understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work. When he returned, the builder had just finished his job. Paul was shocked. Instead of a fence, there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.

As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement, his younger Jason, came across, and took Paul's hand. "You are a good man to have built this bridge after all I've done, " said Jason.

Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his to go, "Thank you so much. Please stay. I have much more for you to do."

"I'd love to." The builder said quickly, "but, I have many more bridge to build."

Jan had an experience in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means "no".

Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people hand not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students really understood.
