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 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 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 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 relationships. 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 hotel room, either. Flowers are
very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed, or cancelled – 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.
1. In the United States, you will find friendship ………….if circumstances change.
A. die suddenly
B. pass away
C. disappear gradually
D. last forever
2. Americans…………their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. ask
B. wish

C never allow
D. don’t expect
3. In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is considered…………than in a restaurant.
A. less friendly
B. less hospitable
C. less natural
D. more popular
4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Flowers are available at all time.

C Flowers are signs of outward welcome.

Many organizations are trying to find a solution to the problem of world hunger. Two of them are

programmes to help people improve their lives.

people and provides simple medical care.
CARE also provides food for about 30 million people each year, most of them are children. It gives
special help when there is a flood, an earthquake, a drought or a war.
OXFARM: In the 1960s, it started working on long-term development in many countries. It wanted to
attack the causes of hunger, poverty and diseases. It wanted to prevent the problems instead of trying to
solve them. However, it continues to provide food to the hungry, the sick and the homeless.
Both organizations are international. They help people of any race, colour or religion. They meet with
the people to decide on program together. OXFARM and CARE help to provide the necessities of life to
less developed countries.
