11、ndships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations 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

12、 up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower 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,

13、 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

14、 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, how

15、ever, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.

They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound(装订) between hard covers.There are many streets in London conta

20、ining shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.

28、 skills for children to fight against their mothers.
