Read the article and select the best answer. Article: I went to a volunteer orientation at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital in California several days ago. Before I went there, I thought it was just a meeting for us to learn some basic information on how to do volunteer work. To my surprise, this meeting lasted for four hours! It told us in detail how to be a good volunteer at hospital. For example, Graham, the director, told us to keep eye contact while offering help and never wait to be asked but offer help first. She also told us to bend down to listen while patients are talking to show that we're willing to hear. We should lead them to ask others for help if we can't answer their questions and never say: it is not my business. For the whole meeting, Miss Graham taught us how to satisfy patients through our words, body language and manners. It impressed me a lot. Americans pay so much attention to serving people with a professional attitude . I suddenly realized why many people feel foreigners are really nice and friendly. They have been trained to do so since they were young. They always ask themselves: How do people feel toward my service? How can I improve to let them feel better? I really like this kind of culture. Question: What does the writer think of such culture in the US? Options: A: She feels that it is great. B: She doesn't like it. C: She feels that it is hard to understand. D: She thinks only the US has this kind of culture.
