A
You want to know about my staying in America, right Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience 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’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up ” It made me confused (困惑的). 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’m also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. 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. similar to
( )2. What does the underline word “tan” in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese
A. 晒黑 B. 晒白 C. 能量 D. 美貌
( )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
D. on getting good grades
B
There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat", and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
"When we say some people 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts. " said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste. "
In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.
( )1. The underlined word "it" refers to (指代) ___________.
A. the sweet food B. the eating habit C. the American team D. the English saying
( )2. According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people _______.
A. overweight B. excited C. relaxed D. friendly
( )3. The scientists found that the people who preferred ___________ were less helpful.
A. ice-cream B. chocolate C. chips D. cookies
( )4. It can be learnt from the passage that ____________.
A. scientists asked college students questions about their future
B. scientists told college students not to eat sweet food
C. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D. people's character has nothing to do with their taste

书面表达
I’m writing to report a robbery to you. At about nine last night, I was on the way back home from the cinema when suddenly I heard someone crying for help from behind. I turned around and found a tall man with a pair of dark glasses and a short man robbing a young woman at the street corner near the cinema. The woman wore a gold necklace and a gold watch. She fought bravely with them. I ran towards them but when I arrived, the two robbers had ridden their bikes away. They robbed the woman of her gold watch, but luckily, the woman wasn’t hurt.
I hope the information will help you catch the robbers.
Yours faithfully
Zhang Peng
