五、阅读理解
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear (消失) soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop (发展) more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, spreading sometimes deeply into both families. There is another difficult point for us Chinese to understand. Americans treat friends warmly in their personal (私人的) everyday lives, but they don't show their politeness to them if it needs a lot of time. But in China, we are usually ______. Sometimes, we, as hosts (主人), will wait at airports (机场) even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. The Americans, however, cannot manage the time to do a lot with a visitor outside their everyday plans. They will probably expect (期盼) the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotel by bus. And they expect that the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors get to their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. For the Americans, it is often thought more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for (除了) business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!
