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 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?"

Thousands of visitors go there every year to see the rare, strange and beautiful things it contains. What interests many people, more than anything else, is the large library, in which there are millions of books. You can find any English book you want there, and many books in foreign languages or translated into English. The library is also a reading room, with tables and chairs for students who wish to study; but if you want to borrow books to read there, you must first get a reader's ticket from the office. One cannot borrow books to take away.In other parts of the museum there are rooms and halls containing(包含) things which have been brought from countries all over the world. Some of the things, which have been dug up in places where old cities once stood, were used by people many thousands of years ago. These cities now lie buried, covered with many feet of earth. All these can help us understand the history and people in the past.On the way out you can buy pictures of the most interesting things that are shown in the museum. 根据短文内容，判断正误，正确的为T，错误的为F。
