A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.
选项
Which of the following statements is wrong?
A Americans seem to be always under pressure
B Americans attach less importance to patience
C Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing
D Americans are impolite to their business colleagues
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“以下哪条叙述是错误的?”。一般对于细节题,我们需要查找信息所对应的句子或者句群。选项A所对应的句子就是这篇文章的第一句话,也是文章的主题句,“A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure.”(一名外国人对于美国的第一印象就是每个人都行色匆匆,这常常是迫于压力)。选项B对应第四段的第二句话“In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority.”(在美国人的价值体系里,耐心并非首位)。选项C对应第五段的第一句话“Many consumers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country.”(很多刚来美国的客户会怀念商务电话中的礼貌开场白,例如,他们会怀念伴着咖啡或茶的欢迎社交仪式,这在他们国家可能是传统)。这里我们需要推断美国人并不在意社交礼仪,但这并不是暗示美国人对他们的商务伙伴不礼貌,所以选项D是错误的。
