初二英语完形
Studying in the US has been an eye opening experience for me.
In China,I had five 16 classes every week.However,I didn’t realize how different textbook English could be from everyday English 17 I came to Lyne School in Boston.In my English class in China,I was told to use “ 18 ” when people greet you by saying “ How are you?”.But here,I found that people say “I am good” or “tired”.So I started to 19 them.That’s “Do as Romans do”.Since then,my discoveries of the differences between Chinese and American 20 have never ended.
As 21 as it may sound,American girls spend much time in the burning 22 to get tan (古铜色).However,in China,girls try to get their skin paler,or “whiter”.For example,my mom often tells me to 23 an umbrella or a big hat.
In China,school work is almost 24 .Chinese children are often told to study hard to 25 .But here,a “good” student has high scores in the exams,does a lot for the community(社区),plays sports and takes part in art or music activities.Schoolwork is 26 ,to be sure,but US parents realize that the social skills their children learn will be 27 in the “real world” in the future.
Also US parents usually encourage their children to have their 28 .As a result,millions of US children grow up hoping to become doctors,actors and athletes,many 29 want to become president.
People often ask me,“ 30 are you surprised at about America?” In fact,I am surprised by how hardworking,well- rounded（兴趣广泛的） and ambitious（有抱负的） American students are.
