You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an 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(曬黑). 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.
小題1: What does the word “confused” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese ?
A．困惑B．憧憬C．悲痛D．后悔
小題2:A good US student spends his / her time ______ .
A．only in doing homework
B．on studies, sports or music and public work
C．only in working for the public
D．only on sports or music
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true ?
A．The writer is now in US.
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.

Social customs (習(xí)俗) and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t matter? What about table manners (行為)?
The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness (準(zhǔn)時) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest (客人) either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay (耽誤).
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable —especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served (服務(wù)), one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
小題1:The underlined phrase “make a fool of himself” in the first paragraph means        .
A．make himself strongB．make himself rich
C．make himself comfortableD．make himself seemed like a fool
小題2: If a dinner invitation is for six o’clock, the guest is supposed to arrive at        six.
A．nearly or a minute or two later thanB．a(chǎn) quarter past
C．a(chǎn) quarter toD．much later than
小題3:The last example in the passage shows       .
A．the correct way to use a knife at table
B．that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable
C．that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast
D．that different counties have different customs
小題4:The best title of the passage is         .
A．Different CustomsB．Social Customs
C．Customs Are Changing FastD．Different Countries, Different Customs
