  The statutory school age in England and Wales is from 5 to 16 years.

  English, Mathematics, Science, Information Technology (Computers), Religious Education (RE), Design and Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music and Physical Education (PE).
  The National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 includes English, Mathematics, Science, Design and Technology, IT, History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages, Art, Music and PE. In addition to the National Curriculum, RE is also taught and, for secondary pupils, Sex Education.
  At Key Stage 4 students have to study English, Mathematics, Science, Design and Technology, a Modern Foreign Language, IT and PE. RE and Sex Education are also taught, although parents can choose not to let their child study these subjects.
  3. What different types of schools do you have in England?(学校类型)
  There are schools run by the Government. These schools are known as State Schools and parents do not pay. They are financed by public funds, which means that the money comes from the national and local taxes. Ninety percent of children in England and Wales attend a state school.
  There are also private schools. Parents pay for their children to attend these schools. They are known as Independent Schools.
  Primary schools (5 - 11 year olds)
  In the UK, the first level of education is known as primary education.
  Secondary schools (5 - 16 year olds)
  Secondary schools provide compulsory education for children between the ages of eleven and sixteen in England and Wales. Children may stay on at school until the age of eighteen in order to pursue further studies, however this is not compulsory.
  From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, pupils study for the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).
  Pupils who stay on at school from the ages of sixteen to eighteen in England, may take the Advanced (A) level examination, which traditionally is required for entry into higher education.
  *Key stage 1 includes pupils who are in Year 1 and Year 2 plus the pupils who are in the reception class who have reached compulsory school age.(To be continued)

随着社会经济的飞速发展,人们对住宅装潢的要求越来越高。装修房子时,在进行墙面喷漆前有一道打磨工序。和刨墙一样,传统的磨墙是一件很耗费人工的事情,需要工人拿着砂纸或者磨墙机不停打磨,既耗时费力,又会产生大量粉尘影响工人健康。  墙面打磨是室内装修必不可少的工序,可由于粉尘多、噪声大,使得从事这个行业的人越来越少,导致供需不平衡。因此,从根本上解决墙面打磨问题,已是建筑装饰行业的一个必然需求。我们研发
刘秀是汉室宗亲,不过到他这一辈,身上流淌着皇家血脉的人已如过江之鲫,多得数不清了。像他这种身份的人,《汉书》里记载:“汉元至今,十有余万人。”所以他年轻时,就是乡里一个普通的老实孩子,爱看书,还喜欢种地,谁也看不出他有什么大出息。  刘秀的奋发,得益于一次经历。那一年,他到京城求学,正好碰见执金吾出行,执金吾大概相当于现在的京城卫戍区司令,“车骑甚盛”,那场面是相当的大。据《后汉书·百官志四·执金
