Audrey is a Chinese-American student. She has found many value(价值观) differences between Chinese and Americans.
About money
1) Americans would like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt (欠债). Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.
2) American kids love to make money by themselves. Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.
3) American parents think it is not useful to send their children to an expensive university. Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to good universities and that might make them very poor sometimes.
About school
1) Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while Chinese girls take part in academic groups.
2) Some American students think that "B" is a gift while Chinese students think that "B" is terrible.
American parents and Chinese parents
American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out to have some part-time jobs in their free time or at the weekends. Chinese parents usually don’t allow their children to do so in middle or high schools.
Some Chinese people have money left in the bank because ______.

A:they usually spend less than they have B:they spend more than they have C:they don’t like spending money at all D:they make a lot of money

Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper A year ago the end seemed near. The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the internet. Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom. America’s Federal Trade commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers. Should they become charitable corporations Should the state subsidize them It will hold another meeting soon. But the discussions now seem out of date. In much of the world there is the sign of crisis. German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession. Even American newspapers, which inhabit the most troubled come of the global industry, have not only survived but often returned to profit. Not the 20% profit margins that were routine a few years ago, but profit all the same. It has not been much fun. Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard. The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007. Readers are paying more for slimmer products. Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs. Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and, sadly for many journalists, they can be pushed further. Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses, with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 2008, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD). In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable. The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody, but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspaper are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers have gone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off. Newspapers are less complete as a result. But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business. Compared with their American counterparts, Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they ______.

A:have more sources of revenue B:have more balanced newsrooms C:are less dependent on advertising D:are less affected by readership

A:have common interests B:are less different than was thought C:have a common body language D:are less intelligent than was expected
