There are many stereotypes about the character of people in various parts of the United States.In the Northeast and Midwest,people are said to be closed and private.In the South and West,however,they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable.Ask someone from St.Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is,and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you,might give you a rather unexpected explanation.A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat.A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.
American stereotypes are abundant.New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful.Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth.People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing.These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate,living conditions,and historical development.
When travelling from place to place,Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A、New Yorkers are usually open with stranger
B、People from the South are usually considered good host
C、The friendliest Americans travel from place to plac
D、Different parts have different customs and habit
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:根据文章的内容,我们可以逐项分析选项:
A. New Yorkers are usually open with stranger
文章中提到“A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation.”,这表示纽约人一开始可能会打量你,并在决定可以安全地与你交谈后,给你一个意想不到的解释。这并不意味着纽约人通常对陌生人开放,所以A选项不正确。
B. People from the South are usually considered good host
文章中提到“Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth.”,明确指出南方人以其好客和热情而闻名。因此,B选项与文章内容相符。
C. The friendliest Americans travel from place to place
文章中提到“When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.”,这说明美国人在从一个地方到另一个地方旅行时,常常会对美国各地友好程度的不同感到惊讶,但并没有说最友好的美国人是那些四处旅行的人。所以C选项不正确。
D. Different parts have different customs and habit
虽然文章提到了美国不同地区的人有不同的性格特征,这些特征可以追溯到气候、生活条件和历史发展等因素,但文章并没有直接提到“customs and habit”(习俗和习惯)。因此,D选项虽然与文章内容相关,但不是最直接相关的描述。
综上所述,B选项“People from the South are usually considered good host”是正确的。
