8、icans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet Americans friendline

9、ss and helpfulness is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from on

10、e another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction, and brought news of the outside worldThe tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent

11、. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or only a charitable impulse (冲动） on the part of the settlers. It reflected the hardship of daily life: if you didnt take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situationT

12、oday there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes. I was just traveling through, got talking

13、with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner, amazing. Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be understood neither as superficial（表面的）nor as artificial（虚伪的）, but

14、 as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social inter-relationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social an

15、d cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to translate cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example when an American uses the word friend, the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitors language and culture. It takes more than a brief

16、encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue （美德） that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.24In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, _Arude taxi drivers are hardly seen in the USBsmall-minded official

20、world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize - the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation - for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel（

21、红隼） from becoming the next Great Auk.When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the t

22、echniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds nests and hatching them under incubators（孵化器）, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the

23、 wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodriguez warbler.Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn

24、t enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received,” reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were t

25、oo risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.28What d
