After the earthquake hit northeast Japan on March 11, many moving stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.
I had to walk home since all the 36 had stopped after the earthquake. On my way home I 37 an old lady at a bakery shop(面包店) who was giving out free bread, which made my heart 38 . A man was holding a sign(招牌) that said, “Please use our 39 .” He was 40 his house for people who were homeless to have a rest .
My friend wanted to 41 others. He stood in the cold with a sign “If you’re okay with a motorcycle, I will 42 you to your house.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all the way to a faraway place!
Then next day I drove to 43 my car with gas. There is a lack (缺乏) of 44 now after the quake and many gasoline stations are either closed or have very 45 lines. I got 46 , since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was my 47 , the man smiled and said, “ 48 this bad situation after the quake , we are only giving $30 worth gas to each person. Is that all right?” “ 49 . I’m just glad that we are all able to 50 with each other .” I said. His smile gave me so much comfort.
I saw a man at the evacuation (疏散) center burst into 51 when people brought food to him. It was the first time in three days that food was brought to their center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next 52 surprised me. “I am very 53 that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t 54 any food at all. Please go to that center as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of this terrible 55 .

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 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, 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!
