Do you want to know anything about ma staying in America? Well, Let me 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 the fifth grade. However didn’t know textbook English was very different 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 am 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 the US cultures.

To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan （曬黑）. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler（白的）.

I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” 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.

1. How often did the writer have an English class in Grade Five?

A. Four times a week.

B. Five times a week.

C. Six times a week.

2.To the winter, textbook English is           everyday English.

A. quite different from B. the same as   C. easier than

3.A good US student spends his/her time          .

A. only in doing homework 

B. only on sports or music

C. on studies, sports or music and public work

4.Which of following is NOT true?             

A. The writer is now in the US

B. American girls love to have while skin

C. The US students are talented and hard working.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?
