culture note
many visitors to the united states believe that americans don't like to answer questions or give directions(方向) to tourists（旅行者）and other visitors. this is not necessarily true. the pace of life is fast in the united states, especially（特別） in big cities. most people walk quickly, talk quickly, and are in a hurry to get wherever they are going. also, most americans speak only one language and aren't used to talking with speakers of other languages. however, when a visitor asks a question,many people are pleased to be able to share their knowledge of their city or their neighborhood. a pleasant smile and a short, direct question will almost always get you the information you need.
