II.   Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D to 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.
