An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality(款待) is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not. 
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm（難為情）. Giving your host a gift is not just a social manner in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not necessary to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small present to their host to show their thanks. The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.
【小題1】The passage talks about ______.

A．where to find a friend in needB．what to do while visiting your friends
C．how to make friendsD．when to visit your friend
【小題2】The underlined word “manner” means ________ in Chinese.
A．弊端B．禮節(jié)C．趨勢D．挑戰(zhàn)
【小題3】You can _______ if you want to bring a gift to your friend according to the passage.
A．bring a bundle of beer
B．bring him some beautiful clothes
C．bring delicious food
D．buy a bunch of fowlers
【小題4】 The underlined sentence wants to tell us _______.
A．you are impolite if you don’t bring a gift
B．how to pick out a gift for our friend
C．the host won’t care if you don’t bring a gift
D．bringing a gift is very necessary

After a hard campaign, Barack Obama won the US president election on November 4. He will become the 44th President of the United States---the first African-American in the country’s history.
On the election eve, Obama’s grandmother died---only a few days before seeing her grandson’s victory.
