It’s a good habit to say “Thank you” when others help you or say something kind to you.
You should say “Thank you” when someone 21_ you the salt on the table, when someone says you do your work well, or you buy a nice thing, or your city is very 22 _. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and 23 _, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence that is often used. It’s not 24 _ to break others when they are talking. If you want to 25 _ to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin to talk.

Have you ever seen a rainbow(彩虹) in the sky? Do you know what it is?
A story says that when you see a rainbow you should 26 at once to the place where it touches the ground, and 27 you would find a bag of gold. Of course, it is not 28 . You could not find the bag of gold, nor could you ever find its end. No matter how 29 you run, it always seems far away.
A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our 30 as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops(雨滴). The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colors which we see.
It is 31 a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow (弓).
That is 32 we can never see a rainbow in a clear 33 . We see rainbows 34 when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds. Every rainbow has many colors in the same order. The first of the top color is always red, next 35 orange, then green, and last of all blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.

In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu was badly hurt and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.
Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(饲养) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.
If one voluntarily(自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to succeed, we might call him a “Gou Jian”, and his story, a “Gou Jian’s story”.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
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 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.
