问题 Dear Jones,
    You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and" don’ts" helpful.
     As a【21】. it isn’t easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a cafeteria. People generally【22】the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see that yon are a【23】. Next, take your dirty【24】to a laundry (洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people wait there. They often pass the【25】talking to the other customers.【26】ask for information from a woman, if you are a【27】, and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get【28】results for a reason I can’t understand. Learn the【29】: "Please", "Thank you", and" You’ re welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic(魔术).
    There are some things you shouldn’t do. Don’t【30】the truth when people ask "How are you?" They only【31】the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their【32】— especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don’t tell heavy people they are【33】. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone here wants to be【34】. Don’ t be late for appointments(约会)! When someone says six o’clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect【35】and expect everyone to be "on time".
    Above all, don’t worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.
                                                                  Cordially yours,
                                                                     Socrates
