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, 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. 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’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.
1. What does the word “tan” in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 晒黑 B. 晒白 C. 能量 D. 保护
2. A good US student spends his/her time ________.
A. only in doing homework
B. only on sports

I want to let you know about an event that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Sunday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get something to eat since we had enough time.
When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as if he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something to drink. However, it was not this that moved(感动) me.
A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog lover, I noticed that the dog was a mother and that she had just had some puppies(小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her puppies would not live on.
People walking by didn’t even notice her. She might not have been as pretty and clean as most, but she still deserved(值得) better. But we still did not do anything, someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went back into a store and bought dog food with all the money he had.
I know that this story isn’t as inspirational as most stories, but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.

Colleges and universities in America consider a great deal of things about a student who want to be admitted. They says the most important thing is the student's high school record. Admission officers look only at the grades that the student has had earned. They also look at the level of difficulty of the classes. A student's interests and activities may also play a part of getting accepted. But in most cases another consideration is how good the student does in college entrance exams. This week in us Foreign Student Series, we will discuss two of these test: the SAT or the ACT. Most American schools accept either one.

As we all know, practice makes perfect. If you want to learn English well, you’ll have to keep practicing it. But, then, how do you do that? 1..
Read and watch news in English
Staying informed about what’s happening in the world is a great habit—do that in English! 2.. Start watching BBC and CNN. Trust me, this will also build your listening skills and help you to build your vocabulary.
Read children’s books
Now don’t be embarrassed (难为情) about doing that, “Oh, my God. I am too big to read these books.” The language that is used in these books is, of course, for children. So, no big words are used. 3.. And, of course, there are lots of pictures in these books, which will help you understand what is written about.
Keep a book
Every night, spend five minutes writing about what you did throughout the day. 4.. Also you can add new phrases or new words that you have learned. And then, whenever you want to refer to them, you can just quickly have a look.
5..
Find a partner to practice the language. Whether it is a friend or a family member, don’t be embarrassed about it. Just go ahead and start practicing. So, rather than being nervous or trying to struggle with words, a partner would help you to correct that.
A. Just go ahead and do that
B. Here are some ways to help you

Model Railroading
Would you like to know a fun way to learn about math? Well, you can do that with model railroading. Yes, it's true. You can learn about many school topics without using a school book. Besides that, there are many other benefits that model railroading brings us as well. In this article, we will discuss just a few of those benefits of model railroading.
Patience and problem solving skills
When you build a model railroad, you have to plan your railroad out. You have to decide where the tracks (轨道) will go, where to put buildings, where to put streets and any other things you would like to add to your model railroad. Also, you have to think about any problems you may have with the design you choose. How will you make railroad crossings? How will you design hills, mountains, and rivers? Deciding on what to do with your model railroad takes a lot of thought and patience, but it is not as difficult as you may think.
Building skills
With model railroading, you learn how to put together plastic models of buildings. Also, you can learn how to build a table for your design, or make scenery for the geography of your design. Your model railroad runs on electricity, so you learn about electronics as well. These are skills that not only help you build a model railroad; these skills will help you throughout life.
Fun for family and friends
Different from many video games, model railroading is a social hobby that lets you communicate with family and friends. This is because you have to communicate with family and friends as you build and run your model railroad. By spending time with the people in your life you love and care about, you learn to become closer and care more for each other. This is one of the best parts of model railroading as a hobby. Of course, the best part about model railroading is running the trains. Watching the trains run around the track and make all the sounds and do all the things that real trains do gives people hours of enjoyment. Also, there is great satisfaction in the fact that you, your family, and your friends built the model railroad.
