In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable (好客).

A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

When traveling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States. 参考答案： 1. closed 2. private 3. open 4. hospitable 5. polite 6. kind 7. friendly 8. helpful 9. warmhearted 10. outgoing 任务型阅读 1.第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Warren Buffett For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy.
