II. Reading Passages (10pts)

Passage 1: Read the passage below and circle the best answer
In the United States, friendships 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 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 return. 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.
Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full 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 felt that
restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded
space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are 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 relationships. So, if your host or
hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.

2
 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.

21. In the United States, you will find friendships ______ if circumstances change.
A. die suddenly B. pass away C. disappear gradually D. last forever
22. Americans _______ their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. ask B. wish C. never allow D. don’t expect
23. 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
24. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?
A. flowers are available at all time B. Flowers are expensive
C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome D. Flowers are not necessarily sent to guests.
25. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. American Hospitality B. American Friendships
C. American Invitation D. American Welcome
