Unit 2 Where's the post office? 文化背景知识介绍
Ⅰ
Bingo is a game played mostly by older people in western countries, and often (but not always) for money or prizes. The idea is to have a sheet of paper with random numbers on it. Numbers are then picked randomly by the bingo caller (the person running the game, but not taking part in it) and called out, and if a player has these numbers on their card, they can cross them off. The aim of the game is to cross all the numbers off your card before anyone else. It is mostly based on luck, although of course it helps to be good with numbers and have quick reactions. The first person to win, by crossing all the numbers off their card, shouts out "Bingo!"

Many visitors to the United States believe that Americans don't like to answer questions or give directions to tourists and other visitors. This is not necessarily true. The pace of life is fast in the United States, especially in big cities. Most people walk quickly, talk quickly, and are in a hurry to get wherever they are going. Also, most Americans speak only one language and aren't used to talking with speakers of other languages. However, when a visitor asks a question, many people are pleased to be able to share their knowledge of their city or their neighborhood. A pleasant smile and a short, direct question will almost always get you the information you need.
