九年级上学期期末考试英语试卷集（434题）

If you want to get along well in the US, the following(下列的) dos and don’ts are helpful. As a rule, it isn’t easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. However(然而), here are some suggestions.      56     . Walk with it several times a day. Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a dining hall. People generally share the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are a stranger. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店).      57     , and many people wait there. They often pass the time talking to other customers. Always ask for information from a woman, if you are a man.

     58     ! It seems to get better results for a reason I can’t understand. Learn the expressions(语句) “please” “thank you” “you are welcome” and use them all the time.

     59     . Don’t ask people their ages, especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Never tell heavy people they are fat. Everyone here wants to be thin.      60     . When someone is going to meet you at six o’clock, be sure to get there by six—Americans respect time and expect everyone to be on time.
