America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon.

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 personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time.

As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of high places. One day, when he was 12, he went back home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them.
