    In most American high schools．holiday panics，part―time jobs，social activities and weekend dances are as much a part of a student’s life as studying for a final exam．

    The graduating students of a high school are referred to as seniors and their final year is filled with events which become the valuable memories of their high school days This is the time to learn the social skills which will guide them through life and the polite social manners needed for participation in their adult life to follow．

    In this final year，therefore，gaining the school ring is looked on as one of the most important occasions of the year．The school ring somehow is a symbol which reminds the students of the memories of the four years spent there

    The school ring for many students is very important because it creates a sense of social relation among the class and is an object that causes the students to remember the importance of one’s high school education．This ring is usually impressed with the name of the student，the name of the school and the year of graduation．A semi―precious birthstone is placed in the center of the ring and it shows an identity that with the ring，there is a sense of belongings，a connection with the school and all the memories joined to that association．

    What has the telephone done to us．or for us．in the hundred years of its existence?A few effects suggest themselves at once．It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness，injury，or fire from distant places．By joining with the lift to make possible the multi―story building or office building，it has made possible―for better or worse―the modem city By bringing about a great leap in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place，it has greatly sped up the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry．Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened，if not killed，the ancient art of letter writing It has made living alone possible for persons with normal desires；by so doing，it has played a mle in one of the greatest social changes of this century，the breakup of the multi generational house―hold It has made the war more efficient than before．Perhaps。though not provably(可證實)，it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication．Or perhaps--again not pmvably―by magnifying and extending irrational(非理性的)personal disagreement based on voice contact．it has caused wars．Certainly it has extended the scope(范

圍)of human conflicts，since it fairly spreads the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant(無知者)，the affection of the affectionate and the malice(惡意)of the malicious．

    Writing had not been his first choice of profession．To please his mother he spent some months，studying law，but his earliest wish was to be a painter．He studied art in London and Paris before deciding that his talent was too small for him to be anything but an amatear(業(yè)余的)painter，though he continued to draw professionally，and illustrated(給?…??畫插圖)most of his own novels  He then turned to journalism．In 1836，while he was still struggling to make his way，ke married“penniless girl of eighteen，strongly against his mother’s will

    There was more evidence d the effects nf high oil prices on the transportation industry．

    General Motors announced it will cLose four truck factories in North Amefica and expand car production．It may also seU its Hummer division．Hummers are military―like vehicles．But Rick Wagoner said G-M?will go forward with plans to make the Chevy Volt，a car powered mainly by electricity．He said it will be available no later than the end of 2010．

    Still，new findings show that Americans are driving less．The Federal Highway Administration says the number of kilometers traveled on punic roads has dropped since late 2006．

    Many people may be driving less because of high gasoline prices But transportation officials worry that less demand for gasoline will mean shortages of money from fuel taxes that support reads．Use of public transportation，though，is up，The American Public Transportation Association savs it increased three percent this year．

    High fuel prices are also affecting air travel．The International Air Transport AssociaLion expects the industry to lose at least two billions dollars this year，mainly because of prices for jet fuei．This week more air，carriers in the United States announced plans to cut flights and jobs and remove older．1ess fuel efficient planes from service Continental Airlines said record―high fuel prices have produced the worst crisis(危機)for the industry since 2001．
