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 for the public and plays sports or
music.
The kids here are so talented, 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. 憧憬
C. 悲痛
D. 后悔
B. on studies, sports or music and public work
C. only in working for the public
D. only on sports or music
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. US students are talented and hard working.
D. The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano.

done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.
"Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram(图表)."says Mildred Freman, head of the Guidance. "This diagram
stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. "
September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to
talk about the schedules. October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others
come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. "It"s the holiday. "Ms Foreman
says, "People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year"s Day. "
Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again. This
happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year"s busiest month. That"s when parents
begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can
be done before things are decided in June.

Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe (欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on
their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things.
Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells
different kind of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France
there are two about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for l hour every day. Then
the government (政府) allowed more tele-shopping. Other channels can open far tele-business, including
(包括) the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24-hour tele-shopping company. German
businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their
homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time,
other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping "Junk (垃圾) on the air".
Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality
is important to them, and they believe they can not be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping companies will have to be different from
the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They
will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can not touch or see in person.
A. not popular
B. growing
C. not possible
D. cheap
2. People like tele-shopping because it is _____.
A. very interesting B. cheaper
C. easier D. more popular
3. Some Europeans don-t like tele-shopping because they _____.
A. don"t like to buy things
B. don"t watch TV
C. believe the things on TV are expensive
D. think the things sold on TV are bad quality
4. In Germany, tele-shopping may _____.
A. help businessmen get more money
B. keep the shops open longer
C. have fewer buyers
D. bring better TV programs
Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film may take many
weeks. Filming the story being acted — or shooting the film as it is called — often takes at least six
months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning till late at night. Each scene has to
be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene may have to be
acted twenty or thirty times. The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big
indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio: churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of
wood and cardboard (纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these
people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film
studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.
Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars in it. Sometimes the film may be very
poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very
real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film.
A. A good director may make a film real.
B. People like to see a film when they know the actors and actresses in the film.
C. When the director is not famous, the film he made is poor.
D. We should choose to see a film that is made by a good director.
2. According to the passage, most people like to see a film, which _____.
A. is made by a director they know
B. seems to be real
C. takes a long time and a lot of people to make
D. has the famous actors and actresses they know
3. The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because _____.
A. it takes time to make a film
B. it is difficult to make them real
C. it is not easy to make them good enough
D. several hundred people work together
they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago.
At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying
at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent (独立). At twenty-one, she left the
orphanage and began work as a secretary (秘书). And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an
ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won
it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name9 Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something.
Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then
into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My
English just wasn"t good enough." She says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband)
to help her.
Mary studied management (管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her
own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong
Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography (摄影). She has held several exhibitions
(展览) of her work in many places — China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to
work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
A. she had lived with her parents whose names were not known
B. she had lived in the streets for many years
C. the workers knew her well
D. she had learned to write and read by herself
2. When did her life change completely?
A. In 1987.
B. In 1985.
C. In 1980.
D. In 1975.
3. This passage is probably taken from _____.
A. a newspaper
B. a science magazine
C. a history textbook
D. a novel
4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. All the children at the orphanage liked Mary.
B. Mary was not happy working as a secretary.
C. Mary"s boyfriend was good at English.
D. Mary"s life in the orphanage was difficult.
book? Well, some people will say, " Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒体) that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!"
But don"t be fooled．There"s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．
(1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of _____ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it"s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．
(2) But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can
not. The webpage(网页)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read
as possible．
Though "easy" may be welcome, unluckily it"s of little use for any long-time development of reading
skills and the general language level．For that, there"s still no substitute(替代品)for a book．
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it"s something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It"s hard work,
but while you are reading, you"ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can
bring us pleasure.
