C

       America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear 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. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings,extending (延伸) deeply into both families.

      There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives ? they don ’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China,we are usually generous with our time. We,as hosts,will appear at an airport 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. However ? it is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors to phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.

      For Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants ? except for 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!

() l. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “

   A. keep out   B. give up

   C. pay no attention to   D. continue

() 2. Which of the following is the typical way of American hospitality?

   A. Treating friends at home.

   B. Taking days off to be with friends.

   C. Meeting friends at the airport at midnight.

   D. Sharing everything they have.

() 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. Americans are always generous with their time.

   B. Americans don ’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.

   C. Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.

   D. Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships.

() 4. This passage is most probably written for .

   A. American students   B. Chinese students

       What can kites do for us? You might think they are just for fun,but kites can do a lot more.        Picture taking： In the 1880s,when there were no airplanes,people used kites to take photos from the air. Those kites carried cameras. People on the ground lit the fuse (導(dǎo)火索) that was tied to the kite. That released the shutter ( 快打開門) . Once people used them in war. In this way,they got to know more about their enemies.

       Science studies： In the early 1900s,scientists from the United States put science instruments into kites. They used them to learn about the weather.

       Life saving： Once some lifeboats on ships from the United States had kites on them. They could send radio messages from the kites. This made it much easier to find people lost at sea.

       Fishing： In Asia,people have been using kites for fishing for hundreds of years. Fishing with a kite is far better than you might think. Using a kite,you can place the hook (魚釣) further away. You can also put it into the water slowly so it will not scare (驚嚇) the fish.

      I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.

      Friends of convenience (便利) . They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’11 help us when we need it. They ’ 11 look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don ’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us ? we ’11 talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed (失望的) .However,people still find it necessary to make friends like this.

      Special-interest friends. These friendships aren ’ t deeply personal or emotional (感情上的) . They lie in some shared interests ? so we may have an office friend ? a tennis friend ? or even a shopping friend.

      Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when. . . maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school,when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first,the only friend we told our secrets to.

      The years have gone by ? and we have gone different ways. But we ’ re still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened (矯正) ，and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves,which is important and never lost.

      Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that form across generations (代) . I have in my own life a precious (珍貴的) friend,a woman of 65 ,who is clever,who listens well,and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.

Best friends,I believe,totally love and help each other.
