新生的挑战

你好！我叫亚当，是一名高中新生。从初中升入高中是一项很大的挑战。第一周的生活过的有一点困惑。

First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I'm good at it.

⑧advanced adj. 高级的；高等的；先进的

⑨advance n．& vi. 前进；发展vt. 发展；促进

⑩literature n. 文学，文学作品

首先，我要非常认真地考虑我要学习的课程。学校的导师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学，英语，化学，世界历史和中文。我知道中文是很难学习的一门语言，但我希望在毕业时可以流利地说中文。我的导师建议我应该报名高阶文学课程，因为我喜欢并且擅长英语。

I had to choose extra­curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. Obviously, I

was unhappy, but I won't quit. I'll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.

词汇自测

?extra－curricular adj. 课外的；课程以外的

?extra adj. 额外的；附加的

?obviously adv. 显然；明显地

?quit vi.& vt. 停止；戒掉；离开(工作职位、学校等)

我还要选择课外活动。我想要加入学校的足球队，但是教练说我踢球不够好。很明显，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会努力提高自己的足球水平，这样明年我就可以加入球队了。取而代之，我加入了志愿者俱乐部。每个周三，我们在施食处给社区中无家可归的人分发食物。

I know I'll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I'm a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it'll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I'm happy to be here. Studying hard isn't always fun, but I'll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

词汇自测

?responsible adj. 负责的；有责任的

?responsibility n. 责任；义务

?be_responsible_for 对……负责

我知道作为一名高中学生我要更努力学习并且要为更多的事担起责任。我有点担心在高阶课上会追不上其他的同学，而且很难去适应所有的家庭作业。但我仍然很开心可以在这里。努力学习的过程并不总是有趣的，但我会为将来考大学或者其他的事情做好充分的准备。
