Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other "friends" to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to "compartmentalize" (划分) friendships, having "friends at work", "friends on the softball team", "family friends", etc.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything "American" in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn’t matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.
On the other hand, don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、Americans’ character is affected by their social and geographical environment
B、Americans want to participate in all kinds of activities
C、curiosity is characteristic of Americans
D、Americans do not know how to deal with silence
答案
A
解析
推断题。作者在文章中谈到美国社会是一个高度变动的社会,因此影响了美国人也在不停地变化。最后一段又提到美国的地理位置,其没有被其他邻国包围,所以也导致了美国人性格方面的特点,即对世界上的其他国家不了解、不关心。所以A与此相符合。
