28、wo people meet again by chance ， even years later，they pick up the friendship.

Americans are ready t
29、o 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 difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday
30、 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. Sometimes， we， as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days of
31、f to act as guides to our foreign friends.

36、 Friendships between Chinese B Friendships between Americans C Americanshospitality D Americansand Chineses views of friendships 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D 试题分析：短文大意：美国是一个流动的社会。美国人之间的友谊可以接近真实，然而如果情况变化很快消失。任何一方都不觉得受伤害。双方可能在一年或两年交换圣诞问候，也许通信一阵子之后就没有了。如果相同的两个人有再次见面的机会，甚至几年后，他们会继续他们的友谊。这可能对中
37、国人来说是非常 难理解，因为我们之间的友谊发展得慢但后来可能成为终身的感情。 【小题 1】细节理解题。根据 If the same two people meet again by chance， even years later， they pick up the friendship.可知同两个人甚至数年后有机会再见面，他们还会继续他们的友谊，所以选 D。 【小题 2】细节理解题，从最后两段可知，当我们去美国拜访我们的朋友时，我们很有可能在他家受到款待，所以选 C。 【小题 3】词义猜测题。 generous with our time 的意思是乐意跟我们花费时间，所以选 B。 【小题 4
