My tiny room was part of a siheyuan shared with three Chinese families. Back home in London, I lived in a quiet suburban house with a private garden. Here, I could hear neighbors chatting through paper-thin walls, and the smell of stir-fried vegetables often drifted into my room. It was overwhelming yet strangely alive. The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side. An elderly man in pajamas nodded at me while spitting into the drain—a common practice here but shocking to Western eyes. Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said, though I understood little Chinese. Gradually, the hutong revealed its magic. Children played hopscotch(跳房子) on stone paths, and shopkeepers knew everyone's name. One rainy day, my roof leaked. Before I could call for help, one of my neighbors climbed up with a ladder and fixed it himself. That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them into vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant isolation; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging. Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess in the shade, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step in discovering a new way of living—one where the community wraps you like a warm quilt.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 1.What surprised the author most on the first morning?

After visiting the country, many international students reveal the culture shocks they have experienced in America. Here are some culture shocks in America that most international students come across. It's surprising to note that kids, the youth, and adults refer to each other with their first names. This is a very uncommon sight. Many international students might find it surprising and take time to adjust to this tradition. Another culture shock is that in the USA there could be only one or two classes a day. Usually, they're conducted in the afternoon or the evening. This means the students get enough time to sleep late, wake up around noon, and have time for different chores. Besides having convenience in the schedule of classes, students also enjoy long breaks. Among the many culture shocks in America, multiple languages are quite common here. Many international students would move to the USA believing that the only language is English. However, that's not the case. The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese and others. So if you're comfortable in any of the above-mentioned languages, you might be surprised. Many international students are accustomed to the kilograms, metres, litres, degrees centigrade as the units of weight, length, volume, temperature, and so on. But they might be perplexed to see a different metric system in the USA. Here pounds, feet, and degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温标) are usually used as units of measurement. This system is quite puzzling to comprehend in the beginning for many international students. The people in the USA are known to be open-minded, helpful and friendly. Many international students might find various culture shocks in America depending on the background they come from. However, the friendliness and social conduct of Americans make it easy for international students to adjust to their environment. 5.What might make international students surprised at school? A.Adults are often referred to with their titles. B.Kids refer to adults with their family names. C.The number of classes is fewer than expected. D.Students can freely do different chores in the classes. 6.Why don't international students need to worry about language barriers in America? A.Many languages are spoken here.　　　B.English is the only language here. C.There are several other official languages.　　　D.All international students can speak English. 7.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 5? A.Shocked.　　　B.Confused.　　　C.Frightened.　　　D.Excited. 8.What is the best title for the text? A.Culture Shocks in America You Must Know! B.Multicultural Experiences Are Waiting for You! C.International Students Are Welcome to America! D.Why Are There So Many Culture Shocks in the USA?
