         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 paler, 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 of 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. easier than
    2. What does the word "confused" in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese? 
    A. 困惑
    B. 憧憬
    C. 悲痛
    D. 后悔
    3. A good US student spends his / her time __________.
    A. only in doing homework
    B. only on sports or music
    C. only in working for the public
    D. on studies, sports or music and public work
    4. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. The writer is now in US.
    B. American girls love to have white skin.
    C. US students are talented and hard working.
    D. The writer regrets (后悔) that he gave up playing the piano.
    5. Which is the best title for the passage?
    A. My Own Travel in the US
    B. My Studying in the US
    C. My Opinion about the US
    D. My Friends in the US

         You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard
    of energy-saving (节能) policemen?
         A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to
    see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and onther public places. One of their
    aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
         They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.
         "If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity
    in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
         Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow
    Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
         As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the
    country's environment and limited energy.
          From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously. Numbers show that Chinese
    cities have to spend billion of yuan solving (解决) environmental problems every year.
         At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy
    usage by 20% and increase renewable energy up to 10% from 7% by 2010.
          To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and
    productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have
    attracted lots of attention.
         "We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find
    effective ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
    1. The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.
    A. to set the air conditioning cooler
    B. to check the use of energy in public places
    C. to set up a special phone line
    D. to make sure that more energy will be produced
    2. Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.
    A. 1200
    B. 800
    C. 400
    D. 133
    3. Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?
    A. 1984-1988.
    B. 1999-2003.
    C. 2002-2006.
    D. 2005-2009.
    4. In the year 2010 China's energy usage is going to be cut by ___________.
    A. 20 %
    B. 10 %
    C. 7 %
    D. 17 %
    5. According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.
    A. there is few ways to protect the environment
    B. it's difficult to find good ways to save energy
    C. it's easy for one to do something good for the environment
    D. it's not easy for one to do something good for the environment
