阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
As I was walking home, a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice, walking in front of me and carrying some of the same high school books I had with me. I caught up to him, and said “Hello”. I could tell he was startled, and dropped one of his books. I picked it up and as I handed it to him, he said “Thank you” in a strange way, like with a strong accent (口音).
We soon began walking together and talking. It turns out he was in my science class, and I didn’t even know it!
His name was Ahmad, and his family had just moved here this school year. He invited me into his house, and his family treated me like a special guest, which made me feel very welcome. He said hospitality (好客) is very basic to his culture, and strangers were always treated very kindly. His mom brought out some great food, and offered me some tea. Ahmad’s father and two sisters wanted to hear all about me and my family, and my schooling.
Ahmad’s whole family had to leave their lifelong home because war had broken out, and it wasn’t safe there anymore. They left with only what they could carry. His family was happy to feel safe, and they got used to American culture quickly. They seemed pleased that Ahmad had brought a friend home to meet them.
And as my friendship with Ahmad has continued, I now realize that the world is so much bigger than I thought! I also realize that your friends don’t have to be just like you. Differences make the world go round.
