【題目】
Would you be able to go through a whole day without using a light bulb? Most people probably wouldn’t. Today, almost every building uses light bulbs as their main light source. Although we use them daily without much thought, light bulbs were once a costly and the newest technology. A lot of people’s hard work led to the light bulb’s invention, which has impacted our lives greatly.
The first light bulbs were glass containers that release light when an electric current heated a part inside called a filament (燈絲). Electric light bulbs are also known as incandescent (白熾) light bulbs. These days, we use energy-saving bulbs that are better for the environment. Nick Holonyak, Jr., an American engineer, invented the first light-emitting diode light (LED) in 1962. An LED light bulb uses one-third the electricity as an incandescent light and lasts far longer.
In 1802, a British scientist named Humphry Davy created the first electric light. Then, in 1835, other British scientists created the first constant stream of electric light, although the light didn’t shine very long. In the following decades, scientists experimented with light bulb filaments made of different types of materials, hoping to create a longer stream of electric light. In 1860, Joseph Swan found a material that produced a good light, but it burned out quickly. By this time, none of the light bulbs created were ready to be sold to the public for everyday use. Then, in 1878, Thomas Edison made more progress. He spent a lot of time researching what previous scientists had done. He and his team spent years experimenting with light bulb filaments. They eventually created the first light bulb that could release constant electric light for 1,200 hours. Edison immediately patented (取得專利) his light bulb design so that light bulbs could be produced and sold.
Light bulbs were safer and more convenient to use than oil lamps and candles. Increased use of light bulbs resulted in people being able to have a longer work day, so the average work day increased. Light bulbs also led to changes in building designs. Architects created windowless buildings, and lights could be placed in elevators and other new places.

What does a typical day look like for a high school student in the United States? Well, everyone's is very different. I can describe my normal day in high school for you.
Our school day usually went from 8: 30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. However, some days I had cheerleading(啦啦隊) practice or play practice at 6.30 a.m. If I had cheerleading practice I got ready at school, and if I had time, I ate breakfast at the school dining hall.
Then I would go towards my locker(寄物柜)and get my books for the first period. Each class went for about 50 minutes and we had 4 minutes to get to the next class. We studied everything from science to math and Spanish to P.E.
I played the violin in band, so one of my class periods was used for that. Lunch-time would be at 12: 30 p.m. and then we had some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there was a discussion. It could be used for studying or meetings
After school, I would cheer at a basketball game, be a lifeguard(救生員) at work or have speech practice.My family always tried to have dinner together at around 7 p.m., but there wasn’t always time. I would finally start studying at around 8 or 9 p.m.
So there you have it! That's my typical day in high school.
【1】How long did the writer usually stay at school on his school day?
【2】Where did the writer eat breakfast if he had time?
【3】There are many kinds of classes the writer can learn at school. Please list two of them.
