[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.

A. Friendships among Americans tend to be casual.
B. Americans do not like to depend on other people.
C. Americans always seem to be on the go.
D. Americans know a lot about international affairs.
