问题     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.(74)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.
    (75)At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. 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.
In the author’s opinion, ______.
选项 A、it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city
B、people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
C、most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities
D、those who are busy are not necessary unfriendly
答案D
解析 事实细节题。根据文章第二段可知，美国人生活十分匆忙，但并不是不友好，故选D。根据文章第三段第一句可知，纽约的生活与其他大城市一样，节奏都十分快，故选项A表述错误；根据文章第二段最后一句可知，大城市之外的生活节奏都十分缓慢，但并未提及其生活质量，故选项B表述错误；选项C所述内容并未在文章中提及。
