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: Right. In the next section, listen for the phrase "to keep someone at arm's length," ______________________________.
Jose: But you know, I find it interesting that even though Americans are very casual and friendly, they also value privacy more than people in other cultures.
Kevin: You know, I think you're right. __________________.
Jose: Yeah, they really like to have time to themselves.
Kevin: I agree. If you're from a culture in which people are always together, Americans can seem very rude when they're trying to be left alone.
一点没错。我的美国邻居每次见面都特别友好地跟我打招呼，可从来不请我去她家作客。
Professor: That's pretty common. ______________________.
Hmm ... 没准她家特别乱，不敢让人去？
Professor: Could be. In the next section, listen for the word "punctual," _______________.
Jose: You know, ________________________.
Kevin: That's right. In some cultures, people aren't so worried about being on time. They have a hard time in the United States because Americans don't like for people to be late.
Jose: It's true. Sometimes when Americans come to Mexico for tourism, they get really mad when the bus doesn't leave on time. _________________________________.
Kevin: You know, ____________________________.
美国人喜欢守时，但是Kevin觉得，如果他们到那些并不重视时间观念的国家去，就应该"go with the flow" 入乡随俗。
Professor: Yes, as the English expression says, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."which means to maintain a distant relationship with someone
Even though Americans are friendly to strangers, some of them also like to keep people they don't know at arm's length
Americans like to be friendly in public, but they also like to have their own space
which means on time
I've also noticed that Americans really value punctuality and like to be on time
It's strange to always be in such a hurry, even on vacation
I think when you go to another country, you have to go with the flow
