Ⅰ.阅读理解
In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.
Short days
Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8：00 a．m. and end at about 3：30 p．m.. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private (私人的) clubs after school.
Formal setting
In Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie (德语：您)”when talking to teachers.
Getting to school
Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.
Private clubs
In many countries，schools offer official sports and afterschool activities. This is less common in Germany.Afterschool activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer，dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.
Different states , different schools
Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the system in Bavaria, for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.
