No二 完形填空（10分）Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I found _1_ differences in the school life between the US and China. For example, each class _2_fifty minutes in the US. Its a little _3_ than that in China. We usually have forty-five minutes in each class. Another difference is that they have less break time between _4_. Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their _5_ classes at 12 oclock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they _6_ eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 p.m. and school is over _7_ 3:00 p.m. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.Many Chinese students dont work during their high school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in _8_ free time. They dont have a dream job in mind. They think _9_ is no difference between jobs. Working is a useful experience for them and they make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs _10_ they leave high school and then go to college. ( )1. A. no B. few C. little D. some( )2. A. lasts B. finishes C. starts D. stays( )3.
