Welcome to the house!

           ------------

   当你在美国的一个小城镇旅游却找不到旅店休息时,不要有顾虑,敲敲门吧,主人会为你准备一顿美味的晚餐和一张温暖的床铺!

   Many visitors said that people in the USA are very friendly and helpful. It is hard for you to find small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers; people are usually getting ready to help you. For a long period of time in many parts of the USA, dullness and loneliness were the common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome guests, because they always brought news of the world outside. Because people lived far from each other, someone who traveled alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn to except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It reflected the daily life. If you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday you might be in the same situation. Today there are many organizations which specialize in helping the travelers who are very tired. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns far away from the busy tourist trails.

   The friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of many developed society, America is a complex set. Only being able to speak English does not mean you can understand the society and the culture of America. Visitors who fail to "translate"cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is an advantage that many American value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.
