One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief "Yes", "No", "Sure", or the very popular "Yeah" rather than with a longer reply. But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word "Hi", indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.
Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don’t want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people. [br] Which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、Americans often answer with the words like "Sure", "Yeah".
B、They are not impolite with brief replies.
C、Americans in high ranks must use formal words in greeting.
D、Americans are a warm but informal people.
答案
C
解析
本题考查考生对文意的理解。第一段倒数第二句说It is used by every-one,regardless of rank,age or occupation.“人们不分官职、年龄或是职业,都使用简短的对话。”C项说“美国高官职的人都必须用正式用语”,与文章不符。A、B和D三项都可以从文章第一段中找到依据。Americans prefer to answer with a brief“Yes”,“No”,“Sure”.or the very popular“Yeah”…But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent.
