expect mistake rest mixture between inferior
demand politics custom vigorous with polite
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.
