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 textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Conmecticut.
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. However, in China, girls
try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter."
I also surprised by how hard-working.US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything,
so we study hard and that" 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. the same as
C. more difficult than
B. 晒白
C. 能量
B. only on sports or music
C. on studies, sports or music and public work
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C.US students are talented and hard-working.

teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn"t remember
over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different
channels. My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we
usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can"t believe it! There are channels with old
movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It"s amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how
much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child.
Of course we had only one television set.
These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people
from arguing over which channel to choose from.

to it. Here are several golden rules on how to best plan your trip.
Rule 1: Do your homework
Read everything you can before going. Really study the maps. Know the pavilions. Arrive at the entrance
nearest to the things you want to see. Have a plan. It will make a big difference.
Rule 2: Allow plenty of time
Expo 2010 is the largest attraction event in the history of the world. It will take many days too see it.
Plan to spend from five to eight days of more seeing it.
Rule 3: Pace yourself
Expo is enormous.The distances are punishing. It is better to spend a day seeing a single area than to
run back and forth all over the site. Remember to wear the most comfortable shoes. Never mind what
they look like.
Rule 4: Get going in May
At many Expos the crowds are smaller in May and in early June than any other time. And beware the
last two weeks. During every Expo, people delay their visits and then in early October they suddenly
realize. "Expo will close soon! I haven"t seen it!" As a result, the last several weeks usually have the most
crowed days of the entire Expo.
Rule 5: Find out what everyone else is doing - and do the opposite. If you don"t like large crowds and
long lines, do the opposite.
Here is an example: Most people go on Saturdays or on holidays. So avoid Saturdays and holidays. Go
on weekdays when most people are at work.
Rule 6: Turn up
Expo 2010 is the largest celebration in China"s history-am amazing once -in-a-lifetime event. When it is
gone and it will never be seen again. So whatever you do, don"t miss it!

Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set
up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students
study and live together. They can"t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has
his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other
facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most
boarding schools have a "light out" time. So when it"s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are
turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and
girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English
breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and
dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also
make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

How important is your appearance? Although everyone want to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person. There are also some people who think that women who are exceptionally (格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive (无魅力的) people can be intelligent. On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn"t want to look at and no one wants to be plain, either-that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich it can help you find happiness, but it doesn"t always make you happy. So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be a interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive. ( )1. Everyone wants to be attractive. ( )2. No on likes to talk to a very pretty woman. ( )3. Some people think that handsome men are unintelligent. ( )4. A plain face is easily forgotten. ( )5. Not many interesting people are also attractive. |
