考题 Many visitors finds 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. 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 you 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.1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.A、 America is a highly developed countryB、 American city people seem to be always in a rushC、 the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.A、 fasterB、 slowerC、 happierD、 sadder5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.A、 offer his helpB、 stop smiling at youC、 help you find the wayD、 reply that he is pleased to meet you
