写出文中划线部分缺少的句子即可,一句一段(注意句首大小写问题，每段最后不用加标点)。让我们开始今天的内容吧
Professor: Kevin and Jose are new roommates who are meeting each other for the first time. Jose is from Mexico, and is telling Kevin about his experience coming to America. Winnie, in this first section, listen for the phrase "to strike someone," __________________________.
哦，"to strike someone"就是特别引起某人的注意。好，我仔细听。
Kevin: ___________________________?
Jose: Well, ______________________________.
Kevin: That's particularly true in the American southwest. Because there is so much space, many cities like Los Angeles grow outward rather than build taller buildings, like in New York.
Jose: Yeah, I hear that's why the traffic is so bad there.
Kevin: Yes, ___________________________________.
Professor: Winnie, what struck Jose about America when he first arrived?
他的第一印象是美国所有东西都很分散，spread out.
Professor: That's right. And how has this affected traffic conditions?
正是因为很多城市都铺得很开，所以人们的生活离不开汽车，造成了交通拥挤。
Professor: Exactly. In the next section, listen for the phrase "to stand out," __________________________.
Kevin: What about the culture? ______________________?
Jose: Well, the thing that struck me was how casual Americans are. Even people who are strangers still call each other by their first names, as if they're friends.
Kevin: Yes, ___________________________. Sometimes people from other countries who are used to being more formal find this rude.
Jose: Yeah, ________________________________.
Professor: So Winnie, what really stood out for Jose about American culture?
他觉得，美国人很随便，即使是在正式场合也经常对别人直呼其名。
Professor: Right. And does this sometimes cause problems?
美国人可能觉得这样很亲切，可是在某些文化看来，这可能是非常不礼貌的。which means to really catch someone's attention
What were some of the things that really struck you when you first came to America
my first impression is that everything was really spread out
everything is far apart so everyone needs a car to get around, so there is lots of traffic
which means to be very obvious or noticeable
Was there anything that really stood out about Americans when you first started interacting with them
I bet some people have a hard time getting used to that |
