In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change Neither side feels
hurt by this Both may exchange Christmas greetings 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 where it left off and are delighted
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can't give it in turn No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home, Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily
Trang 11Once you arrive there, the welcome will be fun and warm and real Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as only home cooked food, not "doing something for your guest" It is left that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered friendlier to invite a person to one's home than to go to a public place, except
in purely business relationship So, if your host or hostess brings you home,
do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment
Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled - so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real
46 In the United States, you will find friendships if circumstances change
A die suddenly B pass away
C disappear gradually D last forever
47 Americans their foreign friends to make, a return for their hospitality
A ask B wish C never allow D don't expect
48 In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is considered .than in a restaurant
A less friendly B less hospitable C more natural D more popular
49 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A Flowers are available at all time
