v. 阅读理解
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 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 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 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.
1.According to the writer, textbook English is _________everyday English.
A. quite different from
B. the same as
C. more difficult than
D. more easy than

When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little wor k. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was
one of them.He spent more time drinking in the Students' Union than working in the library. Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. In my room the night before the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm.
Then he told me of his plan. "It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'll just toss the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."
The next day, Fred came happily into the exam room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor. "Oh, good," he said, "Have you got the result of the test?" The professor looked at him and smiled, "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute." Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it in to the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.
"I'm terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "You failed!"
