入乡随俗
When you arrive in a new place,almost every day you will be confronted10 with situations that require you to obtain11 information from another person-usually a stranger.For example,you may need to know who is going to pick you up at the airport,or which bus to take. In most cases,if you need information, you can ask somebody directly12.However,there are some topics considered personal and private that Americans are hesitant to discuss.These include salary,age,weight,and political13 or religious14 beliefs.
