  Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling.One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush.City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going.And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.

  At first this may seem unfriendly to you.But drivers will rush you; shopkeepers 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 brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant.Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly.Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which 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.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 first 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 friendly looking person and say, ”I’m a stranger here.Can you help me?”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.Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid.If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else.

When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her Blackberry (黑莓手機(jī)) at the door. ‘I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,’ says Baxter,who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. ‘It’s there and it beckons (召喚). That’s human nature (but)…we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.’
Americans are connected at unprecedented (前所未有的) levels一93% now use cell phones or wireless devices;one third of those are ‘smart phones’ that allow users to browse the Web and check e-mail,among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road,staying in touch with friends and family,efficiently using time once spent waiting around. The downside:often,we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.
That's why,despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever,2010 was the Year We Stopped Talking to One Another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mail while on a date,the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention,not to mention social anxiety. Many analysts say it's time to step back and reassess.
‘What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,’ says Scott Campbell. ‘It can be a good thing,but I also see new ways the traditional social fabric (社會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)) is getting somewhat torn apart.’
Our days are filled with beeps and pings·----many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions are too much,but we can’t seem to stop posting,texting or surfing.
‘We're going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing,’ says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology can be turned off.
‘Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,’ she says. ‘We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to take place by itself.’
【小題1】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.2010: The year technology developed quickly.
