This was one of the interesting games I liked best when l was a little girl．My sisters and I used to play it for hours at a time．

We had twenty-six small pieces of cardboard．On each of these we had printed a letter of the alphabet（字母表）．Before we started to play，we decided what the game would be about．Let us imagine that we chose to play animals．One of us would then mix up（弄乱）the cards and turn over one of them．If the letter on the card happened to be C，we would try to think，as quickly as possible，of an  animal which began with C，such as cat，cow，camel and so on．The one who first gave the name of the animal received that card．This was done with each of the twenty-six cards．In the end the person who had the most cards won the game．

1．Which of the following drawings is like the cardboard?

2．How many cards do you need to win the game?

A．All．                                B．Half．

C．None．                                    D．More than anyone else has．

3．Why did the writer and her sisters like the game very much?

A．It helped them to know more about animals．

B．It helped them to remember the names of animals．

C．They could learn something while they had a good time．

D．They were working hard at English．

Hi, my name is Wang Jun. Do you want to know about my staying in America? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. But I didn’t know textbook English could be so different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say “I’m fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the USA, I found that people say “I’m good.” or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted （问候） 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 learnt more and more differences between Chinese and American cultures. To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan (晒黑的肤色). In China, girls try every possible way to keep their skin white.
American students are hard-working like Chinese students. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student not only gets good grades, but also does a lot for the public. That is to say, they get lots of knowledge at school and learn many life skills from social （社会的） work.
