In the United States，children start school when they are five years old．In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen．Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they leave secondary(中等的)schools．There are two kinds of schools in the United States：public schools and private(私立的)schools．Most children go to public schools．Their parents do not have to pay for their education because the schools receive money from the government．If a child goes to a private school，his parents have to get enough money for his schooling．Some parents still prefer private schools，though they are much more expensive．Today about half of the high school students go to universities after they finish the secondary school．A student at the state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state．But many students work while they are studying at universities．In this way they develop good working habits and live by their own hands．

Enjoy Thailand！
When you visit Bangkok in Thailand，don’t miss the early morning riverboat trip to the Floating(漂浮的)Market just outside the city．There you will find many kinds of fruits and vegetables．There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat．Don’t forget your hat：the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday！
Visit Hawaii！
Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai．You can visit its long，sandy beaches in the south and west of the island，and mountains and forests in the north，but be careful：there are many mosquitoes(蚊子)，and don’t be surprised if it rains in the center of the island．Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea，and only a little cooler by late evening．
