阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案

　Taro went to the United States in his junior year．He entered a college in Los Angeles．Soon after he started studying there, he noticed some differences between American and Japanese students．

　It seemed to him that American students generally studied harder during weekdays and enjoyed themselves on weekends．In Japan, however, quite a few students study only before term examination periods and do something else for the rest of the time．

　The educational systems, Taro thought, made students’attitudes different from one country to the other．It is easier for American students to enter colleges or universities compared with the situation in Japan．But they study harder once they enter because they are dismissed if they do not do well．On the contrary, it is so difficult to enter colleges and universities in Japan that students have to study until midnight almost every night before his entrance examinations．And they are relieved from the pressure of having to study when they enter and they want to do something else．Taro, who had been used to a Japanese student’s life style, had a hard time for the first few months in the U．S．

　Another difference is classroom atmosphere．The American students are very active in class, while in the Japanese colleges, the students are very quiet．The American students willingly try to show what they know, while the Japanese students never do unless they are asked to．

　Now, Taro thinks that these differences come from the cultural differences of both countries．In Japan, people have been trained to be humble and not to be aggressive．He finally came to the conclusion that he should be aggressive in order to survive in the American society．

It’s as important to live well as it is to study well, I think. I went to bed no later than 11:30 pm. It put me in the right mood for the next day. I didn’t follow a special diet (饮食), but I did make sure I ate a nutritious  breakfast each day.

The person who plays well, studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to give up on every other activity. I played basketball or took a walk to relax when I felt tired. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.

Besides taking the big exam, you have other choices for college. I took the independent enrollment (自主招生) exam held by Peking University and some other students even prepared to study abroad. Pay attention to any relevant information you can find, whether it’s from school, the news media or another source.
