Question

Andy was born in China 17 years ago. In 2007, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans:

About money

Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.

The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

About education

Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many American parents think it is unnecessary to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would try their best to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.

About friends

Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents are usually interested in knowing more about their children’s friends, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了2007年，Andy随家人来到美国。在这里他发现了中国和美国之间存在着很大的差别。在金钱方面，美国人是多花少存自己挣，而中国人是少花多存啃父母；在教育方面，美国人作业少孩子多参加文艺小组，不上贵族学校，而中国人是作业成山，偏爱贵族学校；在交友方面，美国人让孩子自由结交，不探秘孩子的交友隐私，而中国父母乐此不疲了解孩子的朋友。这就是文化的差异。
