　　at first，this may seem unfriendly to you.but drivers will rush you；storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you；people will push past you as they walk along the street.you_will_miss_smiles and conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home.do not think that because americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly.often，life is much slower outside the big cities，as is true in other countries as well.
　　americans who live in cities such as new york，chicago，or los angeles，often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done；they expect others to ＂push back＂，just as city people do in tokyo，singapore or paris，for example.but when they discover that you are a stranger，most americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you.many of them once came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be.if you need help or want to ask a question，choose a friendly­looking person and say，＂i am a stranger here.can you help me？＂
　　most americans enjoy helping a stranger.most people will stop，smile at you，and help you find your way or answer your questions.but you must let them know that you need help.otherwise they are likely to pass you by，not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help.
