Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt b
27、y this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower
28、 more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another di
29、fficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time
30、. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outsi
31、de their daily activities. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitablyFor the Americans, i
32、t is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.

33、heir families.B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.D. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.57.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to
34、visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. offered a ride to his home B. treated hospitably at his homeC. warmly welcomed at the airportD. treated to dinner in a restaurant58.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. willing to spend time B. serious wit
35、h timeC. strict with time D. careful with time59.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans hospitality D. Americans and Chineses opinions of friendshipsBHave you ever played the game “Telephone”? You sit in a
36、circle with a group of people and one person whispers a phrase to the person next to him or her. Then, each person keeps whispering the phrase around the circle until it reaches the last person, who repeats the whispered statement out loud. What started out as Pizza tastes great can end up as Petes
37、a great ape! Its funny to laugh at how twisted the sentence became as it got passed around. Gossip can work the same way, but its not so funny. In fact, it can be very hurtful. When you say cruel things, tell stories that youre not sure are true, or let out information that you know is supposed to r
38、emain private, youre spreading gossip. What if you saw funny Jake go into the principals office and you started wondering if he was in trouble. Theres nothing wrong with wondering that, but what if you started telling other people you think Jakes in big trouble. You really dont know why he was in th
39、e principals office, right?But before you know it, everyone is talking about how Jake is in trouble and imagining why. Maybe he put his rubber snake in the teachers desk, someone says. Maybe he hit a kid who didnt laugh at one of his jokes, another person suggests. Jake doesnt come back to class for
40、 a long time, but when he does, everyone wants to know what happened in the principals office. Jake might be a little angry or confused about all the questions, especially when he explains, I went to the principals office because my mom was there to take me to a doctor appointment.Thats how rumors w
