14、S.,Universities and Colleges,Going to College,Supplementary Names of Colleges and Departments,High Schools in the U.S.,High schools in the United States offer college preparatory programs and vocational programs. College preparatory programs give students the necessary background for admission to a

15、college or university. Vocational programs prepare students for jobs immediately following high school. All high schools offer required courses that is, classes for such subjects as English, science, and social studies. High school students also may choose from a wide variety of elective courses, su

16、ch as music, foreign languages, or industrial arts. Extracurricular high school activities, which occur outside of classroom time, include sports, clubs, and plays. Most United States high schools are free public schools supported chiefly by state and local taxes. Each local school,III. Background I

17、nformation1,district has a governing body, usually a school board, that makes school policies and monitors the quality of education that students receive. A superintendent administers the district policies. Each high school is headed by an experienced educator, usually called the principal. About 90

18、 percent of students in the United States attend public high schools. The United States also has several types of secondary schools outside the public-school system. Most of these private schools charge tuition. They include parochial（教區(qū)的） schools, which are operated by the Roman Catholic Church or

19、other religious groups, and private college preparatory schools, also called prep schools. Prep schools prepare students for admission to colleges and universities. Each state has laws and rules that its high schools must follow. (From 2010 World Book Encyclopedia),Objectives10,Universities and coll

20、eges are schools that continue a persons education beyond high school. A university or college education helps men and women enjoy richer, more meaningful lives. It prepares many people for professional careers as doctors, engineers, lawyers, or teachers. It also gives a person a better appreciation

21、 of such fields as art, literature, history, human relations, and science. In doing so, a university or college education enables individuals to participate with greater understanding in community affairs. Modern universities developed from the European universities of the Middle Ages. These institu

22、tions took their name from the Latin word universitas. This word referred to a group of people organized for a common purpose. Properly,Objectives2,Universities and Colleges,speaking, a school that is called a university should deal with nearly all fields of learning. But universities today may diff

23、er in the variety of their educational programs, and in their specialized fields of study. Most universities provide a wide range of graduate programs and have a number of undergraduate schools. They may also have graduate professional schools or colleges. But few universities teach as many branches

24、 of learning as the word “university” implies. The first European colleges were merely groups of students who banded together through common interests. In English universities, colleges were formed to provide living quarters and a dining room for various groups of students. Usually these students to

25、ok similar studies, and so the word,Objectives12,“college” came to refer to a specific field of learning. (From 2010 World Book Encyclopedia),Objectives12,Students who decide to attend college must choose the school that most nearly fits their needs, finances, and personal likes. They can discover m

26、any of the facts by talking to friends and teachers. They can learn about particular schools by writing to them for information. There are a number of basic questions a student should ask about any school being considered. 1. Does the school offer the courses in which I am interested? 2. How well is

27、 the school equipped in general buildings, libraries, laboratories, and other property? 3. What teaching methods does the school use? What is the average size of each class? 4.

28、es3,Going to Colleges,of the school in which I intend to do most of my work? 5. What are the schools tuition, fees, and living expenses? Are opportunities available for earning all, or part of, my expenses while I attend school? 6. Does the school offer the extracurricular (nonacademic) activities i

29、n which I am interested? 7. How is the school located with regard to transportation, living quarters, and general conveniences? Colleges and universities state their entrance require-ments in their catalogs. They nearly always require a transcript (copy) of an applicants high school credits, as well

30、 as letters of recommendation. Entrance examinations are generally given several months before the school term begins. First-year students usually take the intelligence and aptitude tests during an orientation period, frequently called “Freshman,Objectives14,Week,” at colleges and universities in th

31、e United States. College costs vary widely. Most college catalogs list the average living costs for one year, the tuition, and other fees. In the early 2000s, the average cost of tuition, fees, room, and board at public universities was about $16,360 for all students. The cost for residents averaged

32、 less than this amount, and that for nonresidents was higher. The cost at private universities averaged about $33,300 for all students. Many college students earn all or part of their expenses. Many students have part-time jobs while they attend school, such as working in stores and restaurants. Mos

33、t schools offer students jobs, such as waiting on tables in dormitories or working in the library. Schools often operate employment bureaus to help find part-time jobs for their students. Some students work during their summer vacations, and others,Objectives15,drop out of college for a time to work

34、. Many husbands or wives of students work to help their spouses pay their expenses. Sometimes both spouses are students and work part-time. Students may receive all or part of their college expenses through various aid programs, too.,Objectives16,Supplementary Names of Colleges and Departments,Beiji
