(2010.四川省自贡市 第三部分 阅读理解B 满分10分) You want to know about my staying in America,right?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 didnt know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School,Conmecticut. 21世纪教育网 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 Ilm tired. One day ,someone greeted me with Whats up ?It ,made me confused.I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didnt 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 goodstudent 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. |
