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!

We all like watching online videos of dogs and cats doing funny things. But if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you say you might like better? Your answer may say something about your personality.

According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.

This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.

Although cat people are less social, Gosling’s study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.

However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.

Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.

But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections form other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”

About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.

1.According to the article, dog people _____________ cat people.

A. perform better in school than B. are more open-minded than

C. have closer friends than D. are more traditional than

2.The underlined phrase “engage in” in Paragraph 3 probably means_____________.

A. take little interest in B. take part in C. benefit from D. suffer from

3.What do cat people and dog people have in common?

A. Both of them like planning ahead

B. Both of them love travelling and adventures

C. Both of them are imaginative and curious

D. Both of them care about nature.

4.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?

A. Cat people are more likely to become dog people.

B. Dog people are more likely to accept cats into their homes than cat people are to accept dogs.

C. Neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet.

D. It is difficult to find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change.

It’s likely that everything you learned about America’s ancient history is wrong.

The new book,1491, completely changes our understanding of the America before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.

DID YOU KNOW?

When Columbus landed there were probably more people in the Americas than there were in Europe.

The peoples of North America had such healthy life-styles that as late as the 19th century they continued to be the tallest people on earth.

Facts have shown that the Americas were populated as long as 33,000 years ago. 4,000 years ago Mesoamerican farmers developed corn in a feat (技艺) of genetic engineering that still isn’t completely understood.

“Attractively written and really absorbing, Charles C.Mann has produced a book that’s part detective story, part epic(史诗)　and part tragedy(悲剧). He has taken on a vast topic: thousands of years, two huge continents, and cultures.”

－Charles Matthews,San Jese Mercary News

“Powerful and challenging”
