Americans are very strange　　

    Americans are very strange: they can’t rest. They have the most holidays and vacations in the world, but they can’t rest. They rush up and down in their country, just as tourists; they go into the outside; they keep the hotels full. But they can’t rest. The beautiful views go past them. They learn it, but they don’t see it. Battles(战争) and monuments(纪念碑) are told to them in a rubberneck bus（观光车、游览车）. They hear them, but they don’t get them. They never stop moving; they rush up and down. Americans are very strange: they can’t read. They have more and better schools. They spend more money on schools and colleges than all Europe(欧洲). But they can’t read. They print much more books than the French in a year, but they can’t read. They have so many Sunday newspapers every week, but they don’t read them. They’re too busy. They use them for fires. They buy thousands of new novels, but they read only page one. Their streets are full of（充满 ） large signs. They won’t look at them. Their street cars are filled with（使……充满） advertising, but they never see them.
    These are Americans!
