Addyson is an 8﹣year﹣old girl from Kansas． Maurine is a 9﹣year﹣old girl from a village called Bartabwa in Kenya． It might not seem as if the girls have much in common， but when they met at a dinner two years ago， in Kansas， they became friends at once．
The dinner was hosted by the group World Vision International． In some parts of the world， people must walk several miles each day to collect water from a stream（小溪） or another water source． Often， the water is polluted． World Vision builds wells（井） and rain catchers in these communities．
Addyson was at the dinner because her family supports World Vision． Maurine was there because her village had been without clean water． World Vision solved that by building a water station there． Addyson was influenced by Maurine． "People helped Maurine so she could have clean water，and kids are dying because the don't have it，" Addyson says． "Addyson says． "I want to help．"
Races are one way World Vision raises money to pay for its water projects． Runners promise to run a race， often a 26﹣mile marathon or 13﹣mile half marathon． They ask people to support them by giving away to World Vision．
Addyson decided to run the 2017 Knasa City Half Marathon for World Vision．She'd raised ＄20，000． She's the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than ＄10，000． In 2018， she ran again﹣﹣﹣﹣and raised ＄36，000．
Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch． Last year， Maurine returned to the U．S． and they met up in Chicago． But Addyson's work is not finished． "My purpose is for every kid to have clean water，" she says．

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear* soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending* 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 needs a great deal of time. But in China ,we are usually generous* with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America ,Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. 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. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality* at home and enjoy your visit in America!
