阅读理解My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and
stayed there for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a
long holiday because he never has any money.
“How did you manage it, John” I asked. “I thought you were going to stay for
two weeks,”
“It was easy,” John answered. “I got a job.”
“A job!” I exclaimed. “What did you do?”
“I gave English lessons to a grocer,” John answered. “His name is Luigi. We
have become great friends.”
“But you’re not a teacher,” I said.
“I told Luigi I couldn’t teach,” John explained. “But he insisted on having
conversation lessons. He wanted to practice his English. He has a lot of
American customers, so it is important for him to speak English. I spent three
hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a
little pocket money.”
“Did your pupil learn much English?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” John said. “But I learned a lot of Italian!”

阅读理解Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically,what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matterany thought.Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to lifein the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through theeyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this bookletdescribe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values canhelp you, the international visitor, understand Americans.It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95%of American actions — actions which might otherwise appear “strange,”“confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of theforeigners own society and its values.The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seenthrough the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. Whenyou encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States whichsurprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the valueslisted in this booklet.1. Can an ordinary American tell you his her value system?A. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.B. Yes, because values are something always in their mind.C.
