III. 阅读理解（30分）

A

Americans use the word “friend” everywhere. They may call both the people

they meet once or twice and their close companions (伙伴) “friends". Their friendship

depends on the same interests. When their same interests become different, the

friendship may disappear（消失）.

In some culture, a friendship means a strong helpful feeling between two persons.

The friendship is developed slowly and lasts long. However, American people think

time is money. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year.

American friendships develop quickly, and they may break up quickly, too. Americans 3 often chat easily with strangers and people from the United States may at first seem

friendly to someone when they need his or her help, so an American friendship is not

a true one.

Learning how Americans think of a friendship can stop people from other

countries making mistakes. It can also help them know how to make friends with

Americans.

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

1. American use the word “friend” in school only.

2. Americans' friendship depends on the same interests.

3. American friendship is developed slowly and lasts long.

4. All American families move every year.
