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 after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After—school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir(合唱队), 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.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。（共10题，每题1分，计10分）
Height is just one of the thousands of things your genes(基因）decide.In fact,because you have two parents,your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent.If both your parents are tall,then most probably you will be tall too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going be,ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力）.Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends(看情况而定）.There's no perfect or right answer.Generally speaking,kids grow about 2 inches(6 centimetres）a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty(when your body starts changing and becoming more grown-up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years.Two centimetres here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now,how you've been growing up to this point,and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰).during puberty(青春期).The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11for boys. But it can be earlier or later--between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that during puberty you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.From the passage we know the moon was made of_____________.
