PART A: MULTIPLE CHOICE (7 MARKS)
@ Read the passage and choose the best word for each question.

In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people`s homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can`t give it in turn. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home, Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrive there, the welcome will be fun and warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as only home cooked food, not "doing something for your guest". It is left that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered friendlier to invite a person to one`s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationship. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.
Don`t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either. Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled - so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.
