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.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. 30.According to the writer,textbook English is everyday English.

Gradually,I learned to do it well,and now I love to bargain.I have had many experiences of bargaining. One day,I went to an open-air market with my friend,where there were many beautiful things on display. While my friend was busy shopping,I looked around and found a very beautiful pearl necklace:I secretly admired it for a long time before asking the price.The vendor asked for several hundred dollars.It was a very high price, and I knew he was asking too much,so i threw up my hands,pretending to be frustrated(). I started to walk away,but the vendor grabbed me and asked how much I wanted to pay.I had heard that "when you buy something in an open-air market,you should bargain to get the price down by about seventy percent",so I offered a price.He said that he couldn't sell it for that.After a few minutes for bargaining,we agreed on forty-five dollars. 初三英语第一阶段性训练练习卷第4页共8页 After that,I had many simllar experiences.Now I love to bargain.Doing something for the first time is very difficult,but if you do it again and again,it becomes easy.That's how it is with bargaining. 34.What is this passage mainly about?
