Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon.They dont feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, theypick upthe friendship. Thiscan be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but maybee lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand.Although Americans treat friends warmly in theirpersonal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middleof the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It isopposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside theirdaily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. Andthey expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welewill be full, warm and real. For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants,except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share theirholidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!21. This passage is mainly written for _.A. American studentsB. Chinese studentsC. Chinese visitors to AmericaD. American visitors to China22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their family. 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.23. 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 weled at the airportB. offered a ride to his home C. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant24. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendship between ChineseB. Friendships between Americans C. Americans hospitality D. Americans and Chineses views of friendships BPassenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already bee smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. mercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.25. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _. A. were the biggest bird in the world B. lived mainly in the south of America C. did great harm to the natural environment D.were the largest population in the US26.The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons _. A. escape B. ruin C. liberation D. evolution27.What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons? A. To seek pleasure. B. To save other birds. C. To make money. D. To protect crops.28. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? A. It was ignored by the public. B. It was declared too late. C. It was unfair. D. It was strict.ArrivinginSydneyonhisownfromIndia,my husband ,Rashid, stayedina hotel for a short time whilelooking for a house for me and our children.
