Many young Americans do not live with their families, but in apartment blocks where everyone is more or less of the same age. Young people often move away from their home into shared apartments when they leave school. They do their own cooking and cleaning and go to the family home occasionally for the weekend.
Young married couples may move to new places where most people have young children. When they have more money, they may move to another place, where the houses are bigger.
Senior citizens often do not live with their grownup children. Many live in homes for the elderly. Some live in special communities built for them, where there are no young children and the atmosphere is quiet.

At first he worked on a newspaper but as this did not provide enough money he changed his job. He decided to work in a bank. All went well until some money went missing. William was believed to have stolen it and was sent to prison. Although this was a horrible experience it helped in one way because he realized that he could write well. William began writing short stories and O. Henry was born! When he left prison he began writing as a career and published many of his stories. They were mostly about the people that he met or he knew in New York and they had interesting or surprising endings. People enjoyed reading them. His life, however, was not a happy one.

It was just three degrees above zero. “That's cool，” thought Jane as she got ready to deliver (送) her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn't ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.
As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn't finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She'd hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.
Less than an hour later Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her mom fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elderly man who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas.
“I'd like to help Mr. Zimmerman，” thought Jane, “but if I do, I won't have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn't completed her homework.
“It's his own fault for running out of gas，” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile away down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this ... can't he？” As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do.

A. before she goes to school

C. with the help of Mr. Zimmerman's car

A. Jane couldn't find any time to finish her homework
B. it took about an hour for Jane to send the papers
C. Jane would have her breakfast in the school
D. Jane likes to deliver papers on cold mornings

B. usually Jane delivers papers by bike
C. Mr. Roberts doesn't like Jane at school
D. Mr. Zimmerman had to leave the car for Jane

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 (延长) 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
