    Kit-ken Lim,a student from Taiwan,China,is studying in Chicago. The following excerpts (摘录) are taken from her diary during her first three months in the United States.

August 31 

    People often refer to Taipei as “The Sleepless City^, but I didn't understand why until I got to . Chicago. I was shopping wkh another student this evening when suddenly the store owners along the street started pulling down their gates and locking their doors,even though it was still light out. This is something I’ve never seen in Taiwan,where the busiest streets “stay awake” all night. You can go out to restaurants,stores,and movies even long after midnight. 

September 5 

    After the first week of class,I’ve found some differences between Chinese students and American students. Whenever a teacher asks a question,my classmates give their answers almost immediately. And some of them interrupt the teacher. In Taipei,we’ re usually quiet in class so the teacher can finish on time. We tend to ask the teacher questions afterward. I don’t know whether it's acceptable here for students to ask teachers questions after class. October 6

    I met a really interesting local girl in my neighborhood café. I was writing a letter to my mother,and she asked me what language I was writing in. We ended up talking for about an hour!People in Chicago seem very comfortable with each other. It seems quite natural for two people to just start talking in a café. This is something that doesn’t happen in Taipei. At home,I would never just start chatting with a stranger. I like that because it's easy to meet new people here.

   B. shops in the streets have long business hours

    C. it is always light out in the streets in the evening   

    D. people living near the streets don’t sleep until midnight

   A. are active in class

   B. behave badly in class

    C. like walking around in class   

    D. ask teachers questions after class

16. From Lim’s diary on October 6 ,we know that.
