America is a mobile society. Friendships...

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They dont 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. It is opposite in America .Americans can not 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 will 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 !

1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 【解析】 试题分析:短文大意:美国是一个流动的社会,人与人之间的友谊可以很亲近和真实,然而消失很快的时候也不会感到受到伤害。他们对待友谊拿得起。这些对我们国人来说很难理解! 1.1】D词语猜测题。根据If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship.可知如果这两人再次见面,即使是几年后,他们也会继续他们的友谊。根据句意,故选D。 2.2】A细节理解题。根据One of Deng’s clever ideas, “one country, two systems”, was first performed in 1997.可知“一国两制”是邓小平提出来的,所以选A。 3.3】B细节理解题。根据Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt .可知美国人如果他们的友谊消失了,他们不会受伤。根据句意,所以选B。 4.综合理解题。本文在谈论中国和美国对友谊的观点不同。故选C。 考点:考查社会现象类阅读。

I love it at night. Its peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing(熨烫衣物). I dont really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.

The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. Im sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折叠) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes shed get frustrated(沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didnt like it much, but I did it.

Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I dont think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
