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、Because they are offended by strangers.
B、Because they think strangers are criminals.
C、Because their interests are threatened by strangers.
D、Because they think strangers will threaten their personal safety.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。文中提到,即使最友好、最随和的人出于保护自己的需要也会对陌生人表现得不友好甚至敌对;后面又提到美国人的生活中充斥着陌生人如何攻击受害者的新闻,因此美国人把所有的陌生人看作潜在的罪犯也是理所当然的。由此可知,美国人认为陌生人有可能会威胁到他们的个人安全。
