The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that is quick and witty. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. "Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game," a German observer said. "Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt."
Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to "talk too much." Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans value conciseness, or what they call "getting to the point."
Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼节式的互致问候). Only a few ritual greetings are common: "How are you?" "I’m fine, thank you," "Nice to meet you," and "Hope to see you again."
These things are said in certain situations and are concerned with form rather than with substance. That is, similar questions are supposed to be asked and statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. To many Americans, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are "too shy" or "too polite," unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.
Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health — common among Latin Americans — considering them a waste of time.
Americans______when they talk with Arabs.
选项
A、pay enough attention
B、may lose their patience
C、speak more than a few sentences
D、will get to the point
答案
B
解析
本题为推理题。要求根据美式对话特点及其他国家人们对话特点进行比较。根据第二段第一句“Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns.”及第三句“ManyAmericans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at atime,as Nigerians,Arabs,and some others do.”可以看出美式对话与其他几个国家人们对话之间的区别。选项A.pay enough attention明显与文中信息不一致;选项C.speak more than a fewsentences也没有提到美式对话有这个特点;选项D.will get to the point则是美式对话的特点,在与阿拉伯这种与其有着不同文化的国家的人谈话时简单使用这一套肯定行不通;选项B.maylose their patience则与前文中“have difficulty paying attention to”基本一致,因此选项B为正确答案。
