Mobile homes, pulled by specially designed (设计) trucks have been increasing in numbers all over the United States. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on a hill. Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They're wonderfully built homes. Sometimes they're as much as 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home, water, electricity power and telephones are connected, and you can enjoy yourself there.
      The fact that these homes can be moved doesn't mean that they do move all the time. Sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. These homes are often quite expensive. Some even cost $ 20,000.
      Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it's comfortable, easy to keep clean, easy to keep warm, no need to paint. What's more, the fast increase of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不稳定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you may be trapped with the house you can't sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move on easily.
      The greatest selling attraction of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you're doing well, you may change a new model just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of the mobile homes is higher than that of automobiles (汽车).
56. From the passage, we know that mobile homes_______.
     A. can be built better than our homes B. need to move all the time
C. can provide something people need D. must stand only high on a hill
1. _______is one of the reasons for people to choose mobile homes.

America is a mobile society. Friendships 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 up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand,because friendships between us develop 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,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 don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a 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,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they 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 treated hospitably.

    For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants,except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
