?? Since the winter last year,the fog and haze has appeared a lot of times.it has done great harm to our daily life.Many traffic accidents happened just because of the heavy fog and haze weather,more and more people have to go to see the doctor because the serious disease caused by the fog and haze ,quite a lot of flights have to be put off,a great number of people have to stay at home for fear of the poisonous air caused by the fog and haze.

?? According to the Chinese Academy of Science,driving car and burning coal are two main reasons.People have been told : Don’t do outdoor sports;If you have to go out,wear a mask; wash your face and clean your nose as soon as you get home.

People have realized the great harm caused by the fog and haze and the importance of protecting the environment.People all over the country are taking measures to reduce the fog and haze weather.The government suggests people go to work or school with the public traffic, such as the bus and the underground.Also we should plant more trees.

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.

New rules and Behavior Standards for middle school students came out in March. A middle school is going to start new rules        who the top students are.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied        work in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something        students should do. If you are playing computer games in your room, don’t tell your parents you are doing homework.

Learn to co-operate. When your basketball team is       , only working together can make your team       . Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll        Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down upon new ideas. All the ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Pay attention to your safety. You should not walk        outside, especially at night.       where the public phones are. If ________ happens, you can find them quickly. If you take a bus to a place far away, please don’t sleep. This stops a stranger from        money from you.
