TRAVEL STUDY-- a new way to spend your holidays. Have you ever heard about it?

● TRAVEL

When you have a travel study, you can see Big Ben, Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty and many other places.... I dreamed of visiting all the cities with beautiful sights. During the travel study, you may go travel yourself, with your family or your friends.

I was standing in the post office, addressing an envelope when I saw a woman walk to the postal clerk（职员）. “I found this lying on the floor by my box,” she said, “and I would like to hand it in.”

The postal clerk laughed and said, “I have never had anyone hand in money before, but I will put it in an envelope. Please write your name and telephone number on the front. If no one claims (认领) the money, we will call you.”

The lady explained, “I have lost money before and it was never turned in. I remember how I felt. I don’t want to make someone else feel that way.” Then she left the post office. At almost the same time a very young man rushed in. He asked the postal clerk, “Has anyone turned in any money recently?”

He told the clerk the amount, and the clerk laughed again. “As a matter of fact, yes! And it was turned in just a couple of minutes ago.”

The look of relief (宽慰) on the young man’s face is a memory I will have for a long time. He said he thought the money was safe in his coat pocket when he walked in to check his mailbox. Only when he arrived home did he realize that it was no longer there.

I finally finished preparing the package to be mailed, but I was the one who had a very special surprise in the post office.

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 the ir 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 friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

38. The writer of this passage must be ______.

A. an American

B. a Chinese

C. a professor

D. a student

39. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American

friend, we will probably be ______.

A. warmly welcomed at the airport

B. offered a ride to his home

C. treated hospitably at his home

D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

40. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.

A. strict with time

B. serious with time

C. careful with time

D. willing to spend time

41. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

A. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

B. Friendships between Americans

C. Americans’ hospitality

D. Friendships between Chinese

D

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, “the moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H. G. Wells could only imagine traveling to the moon. In 1909, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists
