American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to select their courses and teachers.
Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many courses, 74.or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30～50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 75. 老师鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.

71. selecting(their/the)course(s)and(the)teacher(s). 解题思路：由文章第一段可以看出美国的学生可以自由选择科目和教师，而教学计划必须向老师索取，书籍必须自备。
72. called/ named killer/who is called/named killer 解题思路：文章第二段后边的两句话“If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade,…Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.”可以看出那些留作业多的老师被称作“杀手(killer)”。
73. Because the textbooks in America are very expensive./ Because they want to save money./ (In order )to save money. 解题思路：由文章的第三段第三句话“The textbooks in America are very expensive.”可以看出学生们买二手书是“因为在美国教科书太贵了”

75. The teacher encourages you to ask/ raise questions or show your own opinions/ ideas.
