【答案解析】[解析] 11-13
Nick, an Italian-American who lived in San Francisco, flew from America to Italy to vaster relatives. On the way, the plane made an hour stop to refuel at New York Airport.
Thinking that he had arrived, Nick got out and spent two days in New York believing he was in Rome. When his relatives were not there to meet him, Nick thought they have been caught in the heavy Roman traffic mentioned in their letters. While looking for their address, Nick could not help noticing that modernization had changed most, if not all, of the ancient city's landmarks.
He also noticed that many people spoke English with strong American accent. However, he just thought that American got everywhere. He also believed that so many street signs were written in English especially for the Americans.
Nick did not believe it when he was told that he was in New York. In order to get him on a plane back to San Francisco, the policeman raced him to the airport in a police car with sirens screaming. "See," said Nick to his interpreter, "I know I'm in Italy. That's how they drive."
