练习一Don’t believe all of the stereotypes(模式化的形象)you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events),many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant(不宽容的),but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张) in order to generate(使产生) excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like. Therefore,tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
