How to start your life in the USA? It"s very important to learn to use English well. But very often it isn"t easy to find someone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.
(1)If you want to use English in the street, first, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day!Americans love pets(宠物) and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog.
(2)Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People sitting at the same table with you will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a foreigner.
(3) Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man if you are a woman! This often works very well though I don"t know why.
(4)Learn to say "Please", "Thank you" and "You"re welcome" before you come to the USA and use them all the time! Always say "Fine" in answer to the question "How are you".
(5)Also, when someone says he/she will meet you at six o"clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be "on time".
All in all, don"t worry! Just bring a lot of money and do as I told you. I"m sure you will have a very good start and enjoy your life here.

Of all the pets, Americans like dogs best.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】题句的意思是“在所有宠物当中，美国人最喜欢的是狗”。回到原文，我们发现提到宠物(pets)的地方是第二段。但其中只提到了Americans love pets…(美国人喜爱宠物，通常会停下脚步来跟带着狗的人交谈)。另一方面，作者提到狗只是用于举例，并非说美国人只喜欢狗。因此题句属于“未提及”的信息。

Foreigners can practice speaking English with people in the street.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题句的意思是“外国人可以跟街上的人练习说英语”。通读短文不难看出，短文主旨就是为外国人如何在街上找到人交谈，从而练习英语口语提供建议，且第二段第一句明确指出：If you want to use English in the street…(如果你想在街上说英语……)，说明在街上练习英语是可行的。故题句是正确的。

It seems easier for a woman to get help from a man than from another woman in the USA.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题句的意思是“对一位女性来说，从男性那里获得帮助似乎要比从另一位女性那里获得帮助更容易”。对照原文，我们发现短文第四段说明的正是这样一种现象：Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man，and from a man if you are a Worland(如果你是男性，就向女性打听；如果你是女性，就向男性打听)，作者还说尽管不明白这是为什么，但这种方法通常很有效。由此即可推知题句是正确的。

Americans do not care at all whether you are on time or not.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】题句的意思是“美国人根本不在意你是否准时”。阅读短文，可以发现第六段最后一句明确指出美国人时间观念很强，希望别人准时：Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be“on time”。因此题句明显是错误的。
单选题
The writer is now in the USA.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题句的意思是“作者现在就在美国”。仔细阅读短文，我们发现短文最后一句中有enjoy your life here(在这儿享受生活)一处。这里的here指的是哪儿呢?结合短文一开始指出的How to start your life in the USA(如何在美国开始你的生活)即可推知，它指的就是USA。因此，说明作者就在美国，否则他就不会用近指的here一词了。故题句是正确的。
