eye-opening experience to 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(晒黑). However, in
China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".
I was also surprised by how hardworking 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
of work for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, and 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.
B. the same as
C. more difficult than
D. easier than
A. only in doing homework
B. only on sports or music
C. only in working for the public
D. on studies, sports or music and public work
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. US students are talented and hard working.
D. The writer regrets(后悔) that he gave up playing the piano.
B. My Studying in the US
C. My Opinion about the US
D. My Friends in the US

The development of the English language falls into three periods. Old English lasted from about A. D. 450, when the first German people began to settle in England, until about 1100. Middle English extended from about 1100 to about 1475. And Modern English began about 1475 and has lasted to the present time. Of course the breaks were not as sudden and exact as these dates suggest. There has never been a year when the language was not changing, or a time when it was spoken without any differences between regions (地区) . However, the characters of the three periods are so different that a person who knows both Old and Modern English well will find a great deal of difficulty reading some of the Middle English writings without further study in the important points of the language.
