六、阅读理解
How to say hello in Japanese depends on(取决于)when you say it. This is very much like different greetings in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether(是否)you are on the phone or you are close to the person you are greeting. We don't get formal(正式)with our friends. We seldom greet them with "Good morning" or "Good evening". A "Hi" is enough.
The most popular and most well-known translation for "Hello" is still "Konnichiwa", but it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. Perhaps it is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for "Konnichiwa" is "Good day" or "Good noon", and I am sure you wouldn't like greeting people with a "Good day" at any time, and Japanese also don't like to say "Konnichiwa" when they want to say "Hello".
Then what to do Let's do it the way the Japanese do. Use "Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu" when it's noon and "Konbanwa" to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things are different when you are on the phone. Just say "Moshi, Moshi", which is actually similar (相似) to saying "Hello" over the phone, because one doesn't often use "Good morning" or 66Good afternoon" or "Good evening" right after picking up the phone. One invariably uses the sweet old "Hello".
Next time, I'll tell you something about my life in Japan.
( )1. How do Japanese people greet each other in the afternoon
A. By saying "Konbanwa". B. By saying "Moshi, Moshi".
C. By saying "Konnichiwa". D. By saying "Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu".
( )2. Which of the following is true according to the writer
A. Japanese people are not very friendly to each other.
B. Japanese culture is similar to American culture.
C. Japanese people don't like using "Konnichiwa" as a greeting for the whole day.
D. People don't need to be polite to their close friends.
( )3. The underlined word "invariably" may mean_______.
A. likely B. maybe C. always D. sometimes
( )4. From the passage we know that the writer
A. is from Britain B. lived in Japan for some time
C. is working in a radio station now D. knows both Chinese and Japanese
( )5. The best title for the passage should be_______.
A. How to Say Hello B. How to Greet Close Friends in Japanese
C. How to Greet People in Japanese D. Some Differences between English and Japanese

四、阅读理解
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigner at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality (好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!

A. keep out B. give up C. pay no attention to D. continue
