Many visitors find the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One' s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you ; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly-looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?"
Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way, or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged : just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
 Many people who first visit the United States will find that __________.

7、Questions are based on the following passage.
The most famous collections of fairy tales(童话)are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm GrimmThe Grimms published their first fairy．tale collection in l812．They didn’t think they were wnnng for children．They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture．Their In'st edition(版本)was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales．They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.
But the Grimms needed money．They had made a bad deal with their publisher and recelVedlittle Dayment for their first book．At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair m his house one could sit on without worrying it would break．So he took the hint and set to Work to make a book that would be suitable for children．He selected a few of the tales，made them mucn longer．and polished up the language．He didn’t add morals，but he did slip in character Jud9ments and moralizing comments wherever he could．
ThP Gnmms’Fairy Tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children．Many of them include violent incidents．In Hansel and Gretel，an old woman lsbumed to death in an oven。and in Little Red Riding Hood，a child is eaten by a wolf·When he re。vised the tales for children。Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence．In fact，he sometimes even ramped it up．For example．in the first edition of the tales，Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end．It，s only in the second edition，the one intended for children，that her birds peck(啄)out their eyes．
Why．then，have The Grimms’Fairy Tales become classics of children’S literature，SO mucn so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?
One answer is that onlV a few of the tales survived into modem times．The first edition of The Gnmms’Fairy Tales had 210 tales．By l825 it was down t0 50．And today only a dozen or so otthe tales are often reprinted in children’s collections．
(76)But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help childrendealwith the struggles and fears of their everyday lives．
Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?
A．To deal with readers’complaints．
B．To improve his financial situation．
C．At the request of his publisher．
D．To preserve the ancient stories in print．
