You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.” I also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

1. What does the word “tan” in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?

A. 晒黑        B. 晒白           C. 能量      D. 保护

2. A good US student spends his/her time ________.

A. only in doing homework      

B. only on sports

C. only on music             

D. on studies, sports or music and public work

3. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The writer is now in US.         

B. American girls love to have white skin.

C. American girls love to have brown skin.   

D.US students are talented and hard-working.

4. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. My Own Travel in the US          

B. My Studying in the US

C. My Opinion about the US          

D. My Studying in China

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to   36  water to the runners. I remember being so   37  to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I   38  up for the race.
That first 10,000m race was quite an  39 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.   40  , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性)   41  .
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt   42 because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt   43  for a second.
But then I   44  something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   45  abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   46 was only to finish.
After a minute, it   47  me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into   48 .
I  49  that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare   50  and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my   51 .
In life we all have those moments where we   52  ourselves to others. It’s only   53 . Don’t allow those moments to   54  you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to   55   anything you want in life.

She   38  all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she  39  her way six blocks to the local drugstore(药店).
“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.
“It’s  40  my little brother,”  the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a   41   . His name is Andrew and he has something  42  growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”
“We don’t  43   miracles here, child I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling   44  at the little girl.
In the shop was a  45  customer. He stooped (弯腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother   46   ?”
“I don’t know,” she replied “He’s really sick and mommy says he needs  47   . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my  48   .”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“One dollar and eleven cents,  49  I can try and get some more,”  she answered quietly.
“Well, what a coincidence(巧合),”  smiled the man.  “A dollar and eleven cents — the  50  price of a miracle for little brothers. 51  me to where you live. I want to see your brother and  52  your parents.”
That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon(外科医生). The operation was completed without  53  and it wasn’t long before Andrew was   54  again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the  55  of a little child.
