Americans use the word" friend" in their own way. Americans have school friends, work friends, and sports friends. These friendships grow out of the same interests. When people no longer do the same thing out of the same interests, the friendship may end.
In some cultures(文化) friendship between two people may last for a lifetime. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. American society (社会) is one of fast change. Studies show that one out of five American families move every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly. Americans may seem very friendly and they often talk easily with strangers. They give each other information about their families, hobbies and work. They may smile warmly and say "Have a nice day" or "See you later". Students may say to each other, "Let’s get together sometime." But American friendliness does
not always mean true friendship.
Outsiders may think
A. 1%.
B. 5%.
C. 20%.
[简答题]But as we Americans use the word, "friend" can be applied to wide range of relationships—to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a close business associate, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant. There are real differences among these relations for Americans—a friendship may be superficial, casual, situational or deep and enduring. But to a European, who sees only our surface behavior, the differences are not clear. As they see it, people known and accepted temporarily, casually, flow in and out of Americans’ homes with little ceremony and often with little personal commitment. They ,lay be parents of the children’s friends, house guests of neighbors, members of a committee, business associates from another town or even another country. Coming as a guest into an American home, the Europe an visitor finds no visible landmarks. The atmosphere is relaxed. Most people, old and young, are called by first names.

For most Americans, the word "poverty" suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as "poor" by the Census Bureau fit that description.
While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience hunger, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat, while only 2 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.
