【解析】

文章主要介绍了美国推崇的价值观---诚实，坚持不懈，怜悯。

【16题详解】

根据后句But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best policy.” 可知前后为转折关系，所以前句应该是诚实的不好的地方，所以F 符合题意，有时诚实会伤害人。【17题详解】

根据下文内容伊索寓言中的龟兔赛跑讲的是坚持不懈，所以此段介绍另一种价值观，所以B 正确。

【18题详解】

根据后文提到了hill，所以这句重视介绍了另一个跟坚持有关的爬山的故事，所以G符合题意。

【19题详解】

根据前后故事的发展可知此处表示这位穷人的悲惨遭遇，所以A符合题意。

【20题详解】

根据下文介绍的佛罗里达州的人们在接受别人的帮助后回馈社会的行为可以看出怜悯有时会形成良性循环，所以D符合题意。
