One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief "Yes" "No" "Sure", or the very popular "Yeah" rather than with a longer reply. But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word "Hi", indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.
Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don’t want to be impolite or rude, and you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.
The Americans like others’ praise but if in a polite way______.
选项
A、they don’t know what to say in reply
B、they feel somewhat uneasy
C、they don’t want to reply
D、both A and B
答案
D
解析
第二段的第二、三句说“If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way.they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply.”“如果有人用一种很礼貌的方式赞扬或是感谢美国人的话,他们会感到不自在,而且不知如何应答。”A项说“他们不知如何应答”,B项说“他们感到不舒服/不自然”,都符合题意,C项在原文中找不到依据。
