UNIT 1 FRIENDSHIP A/ READING COMPREHENSION. I/ Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer to each question. In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few latters for a while – then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years latter, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted. In the States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that you are talking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can’t give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily. Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm, and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries, it is considered inhospitality to entertain at home, offering what is felt as only home cooked food, not “doing something for your guest.” It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes. In United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment. Don’t feel neglected if you don’t find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either. Flowers are very expensive there; hotel deliver is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed, or cancelled – so flowers aren’t customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please don’t feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real. 32. In the United States, you will find friendships__________if circumstances change. A. die sudddenly B. pass away C.* disappear gradually D. last forever 33. Americans__________their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality. A. ask B. wish C. never allow D.* don’t expect 34. In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is considered__________than in a restaurant.

C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome. D. Flowers care not necessarily sent to guests. 36. Which of following is the best title for this passage? A.* American hospitality B. American friendships C. American invitation D. American welcome II/ Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are true(T) or false(F). The proverb ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.’ means that we shall know who our real friends are when we are in need. Those who desert us when we are in difficulty are just unfaithful friends. A true friend would remain with us whether we are rich or poor. Some people be friend the rich, simply for the sake of getting benefits from them. It is useless to have insincere friends because these friends remain with us as long as we are rich or powerful. It is better to have one or two good friends rather than having hundreds of insincere ones. A true friend will stand by us in our trials and tribulations. He will be a great source of consolation and comfort in our troubles. So we must be careful in choosing our friends. It is difficult to choose a sincere friend overnight; it takes years for us to find a sincere friend. 16. Real friends share everything we need. F 17. Unfaithful friends stop being our friends when we are in trouble. T 18. A rich friend is always a true friend. F 19. A true friend is always loyal to us and support us through our difficulties. T 20. It’s not worth having a lot of friends. F 21. It may take a lot of time to find a real friend. T III/ Choose the best answer to complete the passage.

I put an advertisement in the local student newspaper and he was one of the people who answered it. When we met, we hit it off straightaway and I told him he could move in. Living with Mike was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in common and quickly became close friends. We always had really good discussions about everything that was important to us at the time: politics, the environment, literature and other less important things like cooking. We also liked the same music and that’s important when you’re sharing the house. We fell out a couple of times about the housework. Mike thinks I’m untidy but I think life’s too short to worry about things like that. When they graduated three years ago, we went out separate ways and since then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown and got a job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. Mike thinks I’m crazy because money is very important to him now, but he doesn’t have time to spend with his family and his friends. I don’t see him very often. When he comes down for the weekend we have a laugh, but our lifestyles are so different that we don’t have very much to talk about. 31. Why did the writer put an advertisement in the newspaper?=> 32. What happened when the writer and Mike first met each other?=> . 33. How was the relationship between the writer and Mike when they share a house?=> . 34. What did they sometimes argue about?=> 35.
