I. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
	Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed "character" or "social" skills through extracurricular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs.
	Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the students and in the community.
