Yet in spite of all the informality, America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction. For example,【C1】________. While the informal "Hello" is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say, " Hello, Mr. Ferguson, " whereas the employer may reply, " Hello, Jim. " Southerners make a point of saying " Yes, sir, " or "Yes, ma’am, " or "No, sir, " or "No, ma’ am, " when talking to an older person or a person in position of authority. Although this is a good form all over the United States, " Yes, Mr. Weston" or "No, Mrs. Baker" is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or West.
【C2】________. Though people wear hats less now than in the past, women still occasionally wear hats in church and at public social functions (except those that are in the evening).
【C3】________. He opens the door for her and lets her precede him through it. He walks on the side of the walk nearest the street. He takes her arm when crossing a street or descending a stairway.【C4】________, by helping the older person in things requiring physical exertion or involving possible accident.
American surface informality often confuses the foreigner because he interprets it to mean no formality at all.【C5】________. A teacher, though friendly, pleasant, and informal in class, expects students to study hard, and he grades each student’s work critically and carefully. He also expects to be treated with respect. Although students are free to ask questions about statements made by the teacher, and may say that they disagree with what he says,【C6】________. Similarly, in boy-girl relationships a foreign student should not mistake the easy relationship and flattery that are part of the dating pattern in the United States, nor presume that it means more than it does.
Also, because an American is perhaps more likely to admit and laugh at his own mistakes than one who stands more on his dignity,【C7】________. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknesses, such as " I never was good at mathematics. ""I’m a rotten tennis player. " or " I’m the world’s worst bridge player. " However, the stranger must not be too quick to agree with him.
Americans think it is all right, even sporting, to admit a defect in themselves,【C8】________. A part of American idea of good sportsmanship is the point of being generous to a loser. This attitude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition. If a man talks about his weak points, the listener says something in the way of encouragement, or points to other qualities in which the speaker excels. An American student reports that when he was in a foreign country he was completely stunned when he said to a native, "I don’t speak your language very well, "and the native replied, " I should say you don’t. " In a similar situation an American would have commented,
"Well, you have only been here two months. " or "【C9】________. "
Although Americans are quite informal, it is best for a foreigner, in case of doubt, to be too formal rather than not formal enough.【C10】________.
