America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt.

Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.

Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters.

Paul had just left college and was offered an interview for a position in a company in New York.
