You want to know about my staying in America ,right ? Well ,to 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 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（晒黑）．However , in China ,girls try every possible way to get their skin（皮肤） paler（白皙的） , or“whiter”．

I was also surprised by how hardworking 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（有才能的） ,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 ．

25、Tom Sawyer tried to cut the cupboard with the knife. Then it was the time for him to dress up. However, Tom didn’t want to take the trouble to wash his face and hands. And Mary uncovered his secret and he had to use soap to wash his face again. The clean part was just like a mask on his face. Thanks to his own cousin Mary, Tom had become a different person. Finally, he got into his shoes.

Then, they went to Sunday School. Tom hated the school very much. When the children came to the school gate, Tom walked slower and asked another boy, “Bill, have you got a yellow ticket?” Soon after they reached a deal. Tom gave him a fishing hook and he got the yellow ticket. In the same way, he exchanged for some red tickets and some blue tickets.

In this school, the teacher had set a rule to encourage children to recite the Bible: if he could recite two verses, the teacher would give him one blue ticket; ten blue tickets were equal to one red ticket; ten red tickets could be exchanged for a yellow ticket; if anyone could get ten yellow tickets, the teacher would give him or her a new Bible. Getting the thick book was the greatest honor for children. So they were busy reciting every day. To Tom, it’s impossible, so he thought of a simple way. He exchanged his small things in other children’s hands. In this way, he got many cards.

At the beginning of the class, the 35-year-old teacher made a daily speech. Tom was playing with the boys around him. He pulled a boy’s hair and pinned another, but when they turned around, he just read the book carefully, but the children began to talk noisily in the latter one third of the talk. Some children even began to fight.

Suddenly, the room turned silent because some visitors came into the room. Three adults and one young girl entered. To Tom’s surprise, the little girl was just the “angel”. Tom thought of his meeting with the girl and the adventure in her garden. Among the visitors, the old man was somebody and all the teachers, men and women, made up to him in many different ways.

Then it was the time to give prize to those children who had got ten yellow tickets. The room was quiet. Nobody had enough tickets. When hope was dead, Tom stood up with nine yellow tickets, nine red ones and ten blue ones. Then, children suddenly realized that they were cheated by Tom. The teacher didn’t believe Tom could get so many tickets, but the number of tickets was exact. The prize was given to Tom Sawyer and he was introduced to the old man.

26、Two frogs had lived in a village all their lives. They thought they would like to go and see the big city that was about ten miles away.

They talked about it for a long time, and at last they set off to see the big city.

It was a hot day, and they soon began to feel tired. They had only gone a little way when one said to the other, “We must be nearly there. Can you see the city?”

“No,” said the other frog, “but if I climb on your back I might be able to see it.”

So he climbed up on the back of the other frog to see the city.

Now when the frog put up his head, his eyes could only see what was behind, and not what was in front. So he saw the village they had just left.

“Can you see the city?” asked the frog who was below.

“Yes,” answered the frog who had climbed up. “I can see it. It looks just like our village.”

Then the frogs thought that it was not worthwhile going any farther. They went back and told the frogs around the village that they had seen the city, and it was just like theirs.

【1】The two frogs went to see the big city ___________.

A. on a cold day   B. on a rainy day

C. on a hot day D. on a windy day

【2】The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to ____________.

A. the big city   B. the village

C. the frog   D. the back of the frog

【3】One frog climbed on the other frog’s back because ___________.

A. he wanted to see their village

B. he wanted to see the big city

C. he felt very tired after a long walk

D. he didn’t want to go farther any more

A. the frogs got to the big city

27、   “I’m bored.” You may turn your nose up at（对……嗤之以鼻） the words when a child says so. In fact, boredom is generally viewed as an unpleasant emotional state. How can anyone claim boredom when there’s so much that can and should be done?

But boredom is something to experience. Despite the lesson most adults tell you—boredom is for boring people—boredom is useful. It’s good for you.

If kids don’t figure this out early on, they’re in for（免不了遭受） a not-so-pleasant surprise in the future. Life isn’t meant to be full of amusements（乐趣）.“That’s right,” a mother says to her daughter in the novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette. “You are bored. And I’m going to let you in on a little secret about life. You think it’s boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it’s on you to make life interesting, the better off you’ll be.”

People used to accept that much of life was boring. But things happen when you’re bored. Once you’ve truly felt bored, you find yourself on the route to discovery. This is why so many useful ideas occur in the shower, when you’re held captive（被困住）to a routine activity. You let your mind wander and follow it where it goes.

Of course, it’s not really the boredom itself that’s important; it’s what we do with it, when you reach your breaking point, boredom teaches you to make something happen for yourself.

Teaching children to endure boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future. One day, even in a job they otherwise love, our kids may have to check spreadsheets（电子数据表）, or assist robots at a vast Internet-ready warehouse.

This sounds boring, you might conclude. It sounds like work, and it sounds like life. Perhaps we should get used to boredom again, and use it to our benefit.

【1】It is widely believed that________.

A.feeling bored is good for us children B.one won’t feel bored with much finished

C.a child who is unpleasant will feel bored D.boredom is a signal of negative feeling

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?

A.The benefit of boredom. B.The causes of boredom.

C.The existence of boredom. D.The problems of boredom.

【3】According to the passage, when can we most probably come up with new ideas?

A.When we are devoted to our work. B.When we are prepared for discovery.

C.When we spend a whole day on daily task. D.When we do whatever we want.

【4】The passage is intended to tell us to ________.

A.live with boredom B.deal with boredom

C.get rid of boredom D.make life interesting
