Cultural Differences
People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable, sometimes without realizing it. Most Americans have never been out of the country and have very little experience with foreigners. But they are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and bringing people together formally or informally. They tend to use first names in most situations and speak freely about themselves. So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel. Most people will appreciate your honesty and try not to take you uncomfortable again. And you'll all learn something about another culture!
Many travelers find it easier to meet people in the U.S. than in other countries. They may just come up and introduce themselves or even invite you over before they really know you. Sometimes Americans are said to be superficially friendly. Perhaps it seems so, but they are probably just having a good time. Just like anywhere else, it takes time to become real friends with people in the U.S.
If and when you stay with American friends, they will probably enjoy introducing you to their friends and family, and if they seem proud to know you, it's probably because they are. Relax and enjoy it! [综合类B]

文化差异
来自不同文化背景的人们有时做起事情来会让别人不舒服,有时甚至连自己都没有意识到。大多数美国人都没有出过国,也几乎没有跟外国人打交道的经验。但他们一般都比较自然、友好、坦诚,并且喜欢看到新面孔,喜欢招待客人,喜欢把人们正式或非正式地聚到一起。在大多数情况下,他们倾向于叫你的名字,并且自由地谈论自己。所以如果你的美国主人做了让你觉得不舒服的事情,尽量让他们知道你的感受,大多数人会欣赏你的坦诚,并且不会再让你觉得不适。这样,你对另外一种文化又多了一些了解。
许多旅行者发现在美国结识人比在其他国家容易些。他们也许会走上前来,做一番自我介绍,甚至会在不了解你的情况下就邀请你。有时会有人说美国人是表面上友好。也许看起来是这样,但大家在一起可能会过得很愉快。就像在其他任何地方一样,在美国要交上真正的朋友也要花上很长时间。
假如当你跟美国朋友呆在一起的时候,他们或许会把你介绍给他的朋友或家人,如果他们看起来为你觉得自豪,那或许因为他们真的就是那样想的。放轻松,享受友谊吧![综合类B]
