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.
According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of people who______.
选项
A、do not talk as much as possible
B、do not pay attention to the speaker
C、like to ask about other people’s health
D、bring too many ritual greetings into a conversation
答案
D
解析
本题为推理题。要确定美国人对哪种人的评价不高。选顼A.do not talk as much as possible在文中没有提及,因为文中提到的是“talk to much”,而非“do not talk…much…”;选项B.do not pay attention to the speakerd在文中没有涉及,因此不能选该项;选项C.like to ask about other people’s health虽然在文章中提到,但是问候家人健康在美国是一种礼节,在某些特定场合人们都会这么做,只有那些严重依赖这些礼节性问候语的人才会得到人们比较不好的评价,因此并非正确选项。选项D.bring too many ritual greetings into a conversation与文章最后一段的“Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health…considering them a waste of time.相一致,可以就家人健康进行礼节性问候,但不宜过多。因此选项D为正确答案。
