　　I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it, as mother sat doing letters．Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world．

　　Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother．“But the desk,”she had said,“is for Elizabeth．”

　　I never saw her angry, never saw her cry．I knew she loved me; she showed it in action(行动)．But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．

　　They never happened．And a gulf opened between us．I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”．But she lived“on the surface(表面)”．

　　As years passed and I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅)me．

　　I posted the letter and waited for her answer．None come．

　　My hope turned to disappointment(失望),then little interest and, finally, peace－it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother．I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．

　　Now the present of her desk told me, as she had never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠)and refolded many times．

　　Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose．Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．

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!
