[单项选择]Passage Four
Americans have a great love for informality and nowhere is this better expressed than in their love for nicknames (昵称、绰号).Upon greeting strangers for the first time they will quickly introduce themselves by their nickname. These are shortened forms of their given name at birth and reflect the casual relationships which exist among friends and coworkers. Family names are hardly ever used in daily situations and the use of one’s father’s last name is saved only for rare and formal occasions.
In many traditional cultures the use of the family name is seen as a sign of respect. For Americans, however, it’s the nickname which creates an immediate intimacy between two people upon which to build a relationship. By speaking to another on a first name basis and using his nickname, walls are immediately torn down and equality between two people is established.

{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}
Americans have a craze for the sun, a
belief that sun will cure chronic illness, and that where there is sunshine
there will be a job or, if not a job, at least a warm, pleasant place to be
unemployed. There will be low electricity bills, and no need to spend much on
clothes ! There will be the simple luxury of being able to sit on the porch the
whole year round in an open-necked shirt or a swimsuit. The most
desirable place in the American sun is the coastline of southern California, for
here the climate is Mediterranean. It is rarely too hot and rarely too cold.
This being so, the price of apartment and rents, and land for building homes, is
beyond the means of the average sun-seeker. The neighboring
state of New Mexico is now waiting with dread for the flux of sunworshippers.

[单项选择] Passage Two
Americans usually consider themselves a friendly
people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than
friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans
to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other
"friends" to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something
to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be
dependent on other people. They tend to "compartmentalize" (划分) friendships,
having "friends at work", "friends on the softball team", "family friends",
etc. Because the United States is a highly active society, full
of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly
charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的) or impatient.
They want to get to know you as quickly a A. American society B. American culture C. Americans’ personality D. Americans’ activities
