课外活动 [第1段译文] 在美国，社交能力的培养被看作和智力技能的培养同等重要。为了帮助学生发展这些社交技能，学校安排大量的课外活动，换句话说就是在教室里上完课后进行的活动。当决定接纳哪些学生时，老板和大学都寻找那些在多个领域有技能的学生。分数固然重要，课外活动也不容忽视。通过参加这些活动，学生们展示自己的特殊才能、领导能力和与他人的相处的能力。 2 / 16

What these camps offer○31 is an opportunity to○32 take part in many different kinds of outdoor○33 activities, for example, horse riding and water skiing○34.

[第2～3段译文] 竞技体育运动，比如棒球，可能是所有课外活动中最受欢迎的。这是因为，对许多美国父母来说，他们的孩子，尤其是男孩，学习如何成功地竞争是很重要的。年轻人被鼓励参与团队性的体育运动，比如足球和篮球，因为这些运动教你拥有“胜利精神”。对一些学生和他们的父母来说，高中体育运动比学业成绩更重要。 在漫长的暑假期间，在夏令营度过几个星期已成为美国孩子的习惯。有数千个营地，在3 / 16

全国的各个地方都能找到。这些野营提供的是参加各种不同的户外活动的机会，例如骑马和滑水运动。年龄稍大的青少年更有可能找到暑期工作或者和一帮朋友去野营。许多人到西部山区背包旅行。
