can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings(问候) 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 develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) 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 difficult 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. 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 outside their daily routine. 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 hospitably.for the americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!41. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinese c. a professor d. a student42. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families.b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives.c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.43. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his/her homec. treated hospitably at his/her home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant44. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean _.a. strict with time b. willing to spend timec. careful with time d. serious with time45. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”.a. americans and chineses views of friendships b. americans hospitalityc. friendships between chinese d. friendships between americansbfathers day sunset live music dinner cruisesunday, june 20th, 20106:30pm-8:30pmjoin us abroad the 95 dana pride for our special fathers day

would try to be a loving husband and father. totally loving. no ifs, ands or buts.the idea had come to me as i listened to a talk on my car radio. the speaker was quoting(引用) a biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful(体贴的) of their wives. then he went on to say, “love is an act of will. a person can choose to love.” to myself, i had to admit that i had been a selfish husband. well, for two weeks that would change.and it did. right from the moment i kissed evelyn at the door and said, “that new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“oh, tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.after the long drive, i wanted to sit and read. evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. i started to refuse, but then i thought, “evelyns been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” we walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.so it went. two weeks of not calling the wall street firm where i am a director; a visit to the shell museum though i usually hate museums. relaxed and happy, thats how the whole vacation passed. i made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. there was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. evelyn and i still laugh about it today. last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.“whats the matter?” i asked her.“tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something i dont?”“what do you mean?”“well. that checkup(体检) i had several weeks ago. our doctor. did he tell you something about me? tom, youve been so good to me. am i dying?”it took a moment for it all to sink in. then i burst out laughing.“no, honey,” i said, wrapping her in my arms. “youre not dying; im just starting to live.”51. in the first paragraph, “no ifs, ands or buts” probably means _.a. unnecessarily b. unexpectedly c. impossibly d. unconditionally52. from the story we may infer that tom went to the beach cottage _.a. with his family b. with evelyn c. alone d. with his children53. during the two weeks on the beach, tom showed more love to his wife because _.a. she looked lovely in her new clothes b. he had made a lot of money in wall streetc. he was determined to be a good husband d. she was seriously ill54. the underlined words “one thing” in the passage refer to the fact that _.a. he praised her sweater, which puzzled herb. she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hatedc. he knew something about her illness but didnt tell herd. he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying55. by saying “im just starting to live”, tom means that _.a. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeb. he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husbandc. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changed. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wifedit had been some time since jack had seen the old man. college, career, and life itself got in the way. in fact, jack moved clear across the country to achieve his dreams. there, in the rush of his busy life, jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. he was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.over the phone, his mother told him, “mr. belser died last night. the funeral (葬礼) is wednesday.” memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. “jack, did you hear me?” “oh, sorry, mom. yes, i heard you. its been so long since i thought of him. im sorry, but i honestly thought he died years ago,” jack said.“well, he didnt forget you. every time i saw him, hed ask how you were doing. hed reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over his side of the fence as he put it,” mom told him. “i told that old house he lived in,” jack said. “you know, jack, after your father died, mr. belser stepped in to make sure you had a mans influence in your life,” she said. “hes the one who taught me carpentry (木工). i wouldnt be in this business if it werent for him. he spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important mom, ill be there for the funeral,” jack said.busy as he was, he kept his word. jack caught the next flight to his hometown. mr. belsers funeral was small and uneventful (平凡的). he had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.the night before he had to return home, jack and his mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. every step held memories. every picture, every piece of furniture jack stopped suddenly. “whats wrong, jack?” his mom asked. “the box is gone,” he said. “what box?” mom asked. “there was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. i must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. all hed ever tell me was the thing i value most,” jack said.it was gone. everything about the house was exactly how jack remembered it, except the box. he figured someone from the belser family had taken it. “now, ill never know what was so valuable to him,” jack said sadly.returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. the return address caught his attention. “mr. harold belser” it read.jack tore open the package. there inside was the gold box and an envelope. jacks hands shook as he read the note inside. “upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to jack bennett. its the thing
