There are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese is about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative(消极) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive(积极的) actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog—tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(冷酷的). There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.

Now I' m studying in the US, I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in China.
One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look. In my country, all the students should wear uniforms(制服) when they go to school. Boys aren't allowed to have long hair. Girls aren't allowed to have long or colored nails (指甲). But American students always wear casual clothes (便装) and jewelries (首饰). A British student tells me that students in England can also dress casually in the school.
Another difference is about the rules for parents. When we begin a new year in my school, our parents have to go to a meeting in our class. If they don't go to that meeting, their children won't have a grade or a report card (成绩单) from school. However, in the US, there aren't such strict rules above (以上).
In the US, many students work after school, but students can't go to work in my school because they can't find a job if they're under 18. I think American students' part-time jobs help them make money. More importantly, taking part-time jobs helps them become more independent. They're able to do things by themselves in their own way, without asking other people for help.

A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5
