I was born and raised in Hong Kong.For the past six years, I've been living in the United States.I work as a salesgirl in a large department store.Right now I'm going through a difficult period of my life which is hard for me to talk about.
A few months ago, I went to Hong Kong for a visit.It was the first time I'd gone back there since ing to the United States.I was eager to see my parents, my brothers, my sisters and my friends.
I really got a shock when I arrived.Hong Kong was not the same city as I left six years ago.Things had changed so much that I didn't recognize parts of it.My primary school was gone.The houses on the street where I used to live had been torn down and replaced by office buildings.
The shock from the physical changes in the city, however, was nothing pares to the confusion and hurt I soon began to feel in my parents' home.My family greeted warmly when I arrived.While my mother was busy preparing a special dinner in my honor, the rest of the family eagerly asked me questions about my life in the United States.I felt happy that day and for a couple of days after, but then I began to feel that something was wrong.I noticed that my family, especially my mother, would sometimes glance at me in a strange way when I was speaking.They gradually became less warm and friendly towards me, I became unfortable and confused as to why they were behaving that day.
I decided to talk to my mother.She asked me, Have you forgotten your Chinese way? I asked her what she meant.She asked, You've forgotten the place of women in a Chinese home.You talk when you should remain silent.You speak on matters that of concern only to men.You speak openly of your inner feelings and desires.That's not the way of a Chinese woman.We keep our thoughts and feelings to ourselves.

解析:
【小题1】猜词题,从下文来看,作者是在香港被养育大的。
【小题2】细节题。从第四段第一句话The shock from the physical changes in the city, however, was nothing pares to the confusion and hurt I soon began to feel in my parents' home.(物质上的震惊远远比不上心理上的困惑和伤害)可以得到答案。
【小题3】细节题。从最后一段作者和她母亲的对话可以看出,作者没有遵从一个女子在中国国内应该具备的素质要求。
【小题4】主旨大意题。从作者回香港之后经历的事情以及她和母亲之间的对话可以看出,作者是被困在两个文化冲突的焦点之中。
