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, 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.
Those who like using beautiful or formal words______.
选项
A、need more time to get used to American simple greeting
B、need no time to get familiar with American greeting
C、do not very much like American way of greeting
D、think Americans are not polite whatever
答案
A
解析
本题考查考生对细节的理解。第一段最后一句说,those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk“那些习惯了较长问候的人们可能需要更长一些的时间来适应美国人简短的谈话”,所以A项符合题意。找准文章中有关该题的句子,然居在选项中找到与文章最符合的一项。单独看选项,都能解释得过去,但是要根据文章的观点选出符合文章意思的选项才是正确的。B项不正确,C、D两项文章中都没有提到。
