 There are many stereotypes( 定型 ) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

      American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.

      When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.

1 . The main idea of the passage is _____________.

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing his hand while we walked together. As I   16   older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio.

       On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck   20   he delivered the bread to the stores. The   21   and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

  Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.

  At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.

  "A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "

  One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.

  At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic（創(chuàng)傷性）brain injury and remained in a coma（昏迷）and on life support for nearly three weeks.

  At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.

  But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.

  In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.

  He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation（康復）and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.

  Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."

  Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette（俄羅斯輪盤賭博）: "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."

  Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."
