1George，Frank，Peter，Betty和Susan正在各自打算去参观一座名塔。请仔细阅读题中的个人情况说明和A到E五座名塔的介绍，选出符合各人要求的最佳选项。

1.Susan is a college student. She is on holiday 'in July and would like to visit the tallest tower of     the five below.

2.George, a student of history, is ready to write a paper on old towers. He is going to visit one in Europe.

3.Betty, a teacher from Australia, likes shopping very much. She is thinking of buying different things for her students.

4.Frank, from America, is traveling around the world. His last stop is to visit a tower where he can spend the night.

5.Peter is interested in plants and animals. He is now looking for a tower where he can see fish and other water animals.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.

There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!
