American society is much more informal than that of many other countries and, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction. The American【G1】________of pride in achievement and sense of "I’m just as good as anybody else. " along with lack of importance placed on personal dignity, is difficult for a foreigner to understand. Americans in general do not like to be considered【G2】________, and they grumble loudly about inconveniences or not getting a "fair deal". Yet they do not make a point of their personal honor. As an illustration of the difference【G3】________European and American reflection in this respect, John Whyte in American Words and Ways gives the following account.
A [European] professor [visiting in America] was once sent a bill for hospital services which he had never enjoyed. The bill was accompanied by a strong letter【G4】________payment. It was obvious that a mistake in names had been made, but the professor, thoroughly aroused by this reflection on his character and financial integrity, wrote a【G5】________letter of reply (which an American might also have done). But in this letter of reply he demanded that the creditor write him a formal letter of apology… for this reflection on his honor. Since no publicity could possibly have been given to the mistake, for【G6】________it was, most Americans in that situation, after getting the matter off their chest (or without doing that) would have let the matter【G7】________.
An example of the same thing may be that although Americans like to talk about their accomplishments, it is their【G8】________to show certain modesty in reply to compliments.
When someone praises an American upon his achievement or upon his personal appearance, which, incidentally, is a very【G9】________thing to do in America, the American turns it aside. If someone should say, " Congratulations upon being elected president of the club, " an American is【G10】________to reply, " Well, I hope I can do a good job, " or something of the sort.
