Question

【题目】Do you want to know about my staying in America? 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 between textbook English and 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 am tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused（困惑的）. 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. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. 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 feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School，Connecticut.”直到我来到康涅狄格州的Hotchkiss School，我才知道教科书英语与日常英语的不同，故答案是A。
