In China，I had English classes five times a week since the 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 American cultures.
To my surprise，American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan（黝黑）.However，in China，girls try every possible way to get their skin paler，or "whiter".
I am also surprised by how hard﹣working American students are.In China，schoolwork is almost everything，so we study hard.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 I have never thought about sports.

35．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness.Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness.Aristotle，a Greek thinker，said， "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words，we make our own happiness.Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active，and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time.Many people experience this dancing，or playing a sport，such as swimming.You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity.Finally，many people find happiness in helping others.
Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others.If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
