    American Manners

    　　When people in the United States have company or when they are invited to a get-together, they usually make a point of trying to make others feel comfortable and relaxed. On the whole, they like to be informal. Men shake hands, but usually only when they are introduced. Male friends and business associates who haven't seen each other in a while may shake hands when they say hello. When a woman and a man are introduced, shaking hands is up to the woman. Americans rarely shake hands to say good-bye, except on business occasions.

    　　American women are used to being independent. They are used to going to places by themselves, earning their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don't want to be protected. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.

    　　There are a lot of Americans who don't smoke or drink, and many who don't want people to do those things in their houses. It's always best to ask for permission before you bring alcohol to a dinner or before you light up a cigarette, if you are with people you don't know very well. Nonsmokers have become more militant about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, hotels and trains, for instance, have established special sections for smokers.

    　　House guests may bring a gift when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there's anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actually helping.

    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(不知所措). 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 hard-working 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, 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.

    4.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
