    　　I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America．We were on the bus then．I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me．I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning．

    　　I do not remember myself crying for this reason again．In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives．When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see－the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures．The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then．

    　　The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once．For the first two years in New York I was really lost－having to study in three schools as a result of family moves．I did not quite know what I was or what I should be．Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me．Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other．I was often sad, and saw no end to“the hard times．”

    　　My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home．I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives．

    　　From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles go away at last!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy．

    　　When I first came to America, I made friends with a neighbour who used to live a couple blocks from my street．We used to visit each other, do some activities, and go out together sometimes．This friend taught me a lot about American culture, but in some cases I had to learn the hard way because we didn't have enough time together as friends for me to learn all about American culture from him．

    　　One day this same friend invited me to a party．It wasn't a real party, it was some kind of informal get－together．Since it was summertime he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before．

    　　It was the most embarrassing party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T－shirts for the day, while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party．It was hard to explain my embarrassment to the other guests．When one of them turned around and said,“What nice clothes!What's the occasion!”I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment．I did not answer at all．If she knew how bad I already felt, she wouldn't have come near me．But she did．Maybe she didn't ask intentionally to make me feel bad or uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt．I could have told her I had to go to another party afterward, but I didn't want to continue the conversation．

    　　Many times I thought about going home and changing, but I knew that they would notice．It would be even worse for me, because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place．So I wanted to pretend that I was okay．

    　　I had already realized their customs were different from mine, but after I talked to my friend, I was more convinced(感到信服的)that people here are more casual．They care less about formality, unless it is a special occasion, like a wedding or a very formal invitation．

    　　In contrast, my culture is totally the opposite．For instance, in Cape Verdean culture, if a friend invited me to his house on a special day, even if it is not a real party, one should appear well dressed or otherwise the host will be annoyed thinking you are disrespectful to him or the other guests．We do dress casually for going on picnics or on ordinary days, but not normally to go over to a friend's when invited if other people will be there．

    　　After all, I think that my problem at the party wasn't that I wasn't accepted by the Americans; but my feeling was so bad that I couldn't fit in the group even if nobody noticed, because I was the one who discovered the difference in the first place．It does not matter if people dress differently, but I was the only one different in the group．I felt I was the one who should adjust to their customs．After that, I decided to learn more about American culture, so now I don't have as many problems as I've had in the past．

    (1)

    Which of the statements describes the cookout in the story?

    [　　]

    A．

    It was very formal．

    B．

    People wore casual clothing．

    C．

    It took place in a restaurant．

    D．

    There, the author knew all the guests．

    (2)

    This story is mainly about ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    cultural differences

    B．

    living in the United States

    C．

    what to do at a cookout

    D．

    how to dress up in a foreign country

    (3)

    It can be inferred from the story that the author ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    left the cookout early

    B．

    probably didn't enjoy the cookout．

    C．

    never wears blue jeans

    D．

    doesn't like the way others wear

    A．

    America

    B．

    China

    C．

    Cape Verde

    D．

    the passage doesn't say

    (5)

    Why did the author feel embarrassed at the cookout?

    [　　]

    A．

    He didn't know anyone there．

      I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
    The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
    From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
