Many visitors find the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?"
Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.
选项
A、America is a highly developed country
B、American city people seem to be always in a rush
C、the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D、Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
答案
B
解析
从第一段第二句One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush.(人们的第一印象可能是(美国)每一个人都急急忙忙的)可以得知B是正确答案。文中没有提到美国是一个高度发达的国家(America is a highly developed country),所以不能选A。第一段提到Many visitors find the fast pace at which American people move verytroubling,并不是说美国人生活中的快节奏会导致许多麻烦(The fast pace in Americanlife often causes much trouble)。第一段说有些美国人显得没有礼貌也不够耐心,并不是说美国人民是不友好缺乏耐心的民族(Americans are impatient and unfriendly people),所以C和D都不是正确答案。
