Americans are afraid of crime and take many precautions to keep from being victims.(26)Unfortunately, the people who are generally the most friendly and outgoing, out of a need to protect themselves, act and appear unfriendly and hostile to strangers. Though smiling is such a natural human trait, Americans have learned that to smile at a stranger is to invite danger.(26)They are daily exposed to news stories of victims who have been tortured, raped, murdered, and robbed by strangers. It is a logical reaction to view all strangers as potential criminals. With this idea in mind, visitors should be always mindful that Americans are overly cautious about whom they talk with and whom they allow within their personal space. An official from the US Department of State was once talking with a group of foreign travelers in Washington D.C. and his instructions were graphic and to the point.(27)He warned, "Each American has this imaginary bubble that surrounds him or her and extends about twenty inches in all directions. At all costs avoid getting too close to that bubble." His advice clearly points out to visitors that(28)people are afraid of anyone who gets too close and threatens their personal safety. Visitors should be aware that out of fear, Americans may react violently to what means an innocent smile, stare or pat on the back to them.
26. Why do Americans act unfriendly and hostile to strangers?
27. What does the official from the US Department of State suggest?
28. What can we infer from the passage?
选项
A、Don’t talk to Americans.
B、Don’t pat Americans on the back.
C、Don’t get too close to Americans.
D、Try to get a gun to protect yourself.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。文章中美国国务院的一名官员警告旅行者,每个美国人的周围都有一个想象中的气泡,这个气泡从身体向四面八方延伸20英尺,他建议人们应尽力避免靠这个气泡太近。这里的气泡是用来比喻美国人的安全距离,一旦有人过于靠近美国人(小于20英尺),他们就会变得紧张。由此可知,该官员建议不要离美国人太近。
