Any kind of 38 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 39 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along. But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did.

But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 44 those summer days with my father, who 45 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 46 person not in swimsuit.

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 work for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented, and 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. 56. According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English. A. quite different from B. the same as C. more difficult than D. easier than 57. 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 58. 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. 59. 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 B Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand，found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out(排除) that already poorly motivated(有动机的) youngsters may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high schools. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores，it adds to accumulating(增加) findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms. 60. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might________. A. have watched a lot of TV B. not be interested in math C. be unable to go to college D. have had computers in their bedrooms 61. What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results? A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV. B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest. C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds. D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain. 62. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. More time should be spent on computers. B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV. C. TV sets shouldn’t be allowed in children’s bedrooms. D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.
