　　Another person's enthusiasm(热情)was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．

　　I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia．My father 　　1　　 me to her with these words：“I would like you to meet the fellow who is distinguished(known)for being the 　　2　　 boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 　　3　　 than tomorrow morning．”

　　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．

　　Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8∶00 a. m. and end at 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．

　　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．

　　Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle．Some ares have school buses．It is not common for parents to drive students to school．

　　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, chair, 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．

　　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．
