21世纪英语报阅读理解A Do you want to know about how busy students are in the United States? Well, we are always busy. We have a lot of homework, but not as much as Chinese students. But we are not just busy working on our studies.  First, we have after-school clubs. We finish school early, around 2:40 pm. Then we go to our clubs from 3 pm to 4 pm. There are several kinds of clubs, such as those for arts, sports and culture. I love after-school clubs because I can learn and socialize (社交). Another kind of common after-school activity is playing on school sports teams. These teams train hard so they can win games against other teams during the competitive season. I have a friend who is on a girl’s basketball team. It is basketball season now, so she trains every day after school from 3 pm to 8 pm. There is just a one-hour break. The school band’s rehearsal (排练) period is also held after school. I am in a school band. We rehearse once a week every Monday from 4 pm to 7 pm. Finally, a lot of us do volunteer work on the weekends. We need 15 to 20 volunteer hours each term in order to graduate. I’m usually pretty tired after I finish volunteering each week. The work is sometimes boring, but I know I’m working for the good of society. So I enjoy it. 1. Why does the writer like after-school clubs?A. Because she finishes school early. B.
