It seems that Americans are more willing to help strangers than Chinese.
Once I walked on the street and tried to find my way to my hotel. I found that I was lost. So I
stopped, took my map out and began searching for the right way. Then a lady came to me with a friendly
smile. I wondered if I was in her way. Before I was about to stand aside (到旁边), the lady asked, "Do you
二一教育在线组卷平台（ z ujuan.21cnjy.com ）自动生成 2 / 8登录二一教育在线组卷平台 助您教考全无忧
need any help? I can show you the way." I was very surprised. In China, most people won't give you a hand
unless you ask. I said yes to her. She carefully gave the directions to me. I was touched by her selfless
behaviour and warm attitude (态度).
After experiencing many such things in the USA, I thought about the situation in China. My teacher
in China told me that several years ago he travelled to another city by himself. After a whole day's hard work
at a factory, he bought a pancake at a stall (货摊). But he later found that it was bad. The seller cheated (欺
骗) him. Since then, he always checks the food he buys on the street. Even today we often see news that
shows we don't trust strangers.
Chinese people are more vigilant to strangers because they are afraid to get hurt. But many
American people believe that if you love others first, you will be loved. I think we should learn from this
attitude and rebuild the trust among people.

C．Chinese people easily get hurt by others.
D．Chinese people usually don't trust strangers.

fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of
the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit."
