阅读理解

   Americais a mobile society. Friendship between Americans can be close and real, yet disappearssoon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmasgreetings 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 thefriendship.

   Thiscan be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendship betweenus flows more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimesdeeply into both families.

   Americansare ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays and theirhome life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept theirhospitality (好客) easily.

   Anotherdifficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they includeus warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness tous if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of thepractice 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 afriend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.Americans, however, express their welcome at home. But they truly cannot managethe time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They willprobably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. Andthey expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves to be treatedhospitably.

   ForAmericans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to theirhomes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accepttheir hospitality at home!

Life is like a journey. None of us can predict the destination(终点)of this journey. During this journey. we will enjoy beautiful scenery and meet bad weather. People have different experiences,but in this journey,we should have a dream and hold it until the end of our journey. 

We can't set our goals too high,which will make us have no time to enjoy ourselves along the way. Every day,we have to move forward in a hurry,there are many higher mountains waiting for us to climb. That way,we may give up our dreams,but also live for ourselves. 

Learn to love. During the journey of life,we are not alone. There are many people with us:family,friends,including strangers. Be nice to others,and the world will be nice to us. 

Treat the journey of life calmly and patiently,wait for the flowers to bloom and fall,and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more fascinating. A calm heart is like a clear blue sky without dark clouds,and like the light on green leaves,giving us hope and courage. 

All in all,we should value everyone,everything and every scenery we see. Life is too short. Be kind to yourself. Live in the present and let life show its beauty
