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 ．
According to the writer ,textbook English is_________ everyday English ．
| A．quite different from |
| B．the same as |
| C．more difficult than |

A good US student spends his/her time_________．

At present, too much carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings．To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life(低碳生活) becomes popular．Low carbon means low energy and no waste．It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life．
To live a low-carbon life, we’d better save energy as possible．Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed．If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes．Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm．Don’t do the cooking with electricity．
To live a low-carbon life , we should eat less meat．Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don’t know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year．Maybe it is a little difficult, but it’s really necessary．

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them．Many old computers are put away．Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish．
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers．Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品)．Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands．
In some countries, laws have been passed, too．Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products．And 70% of the computer waste must be recycled．The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost．That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级)．
Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all．Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem．They collect and repair old computers．Some also teach others how to repair computers．These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them．Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too．
