二、阅读理解(2023南宁三美中学收网一)
Is the handshaking the only way to say hello to others? Of course not. Here are some ways of touchless handshaking.
11
Wai bow
In many Asian countries, people greet each other by bowing. In
Thailand, a bow is known as a “wai”.
To greet someone you respect, like your teachers, press your palms
together near your chest, then lower your head and raise your hands
until your thumbs touch your nose and your index fingers touch the
space between your eyebrows(眉毛). To greet an older person or
someone of your age, do the same thing, but this time, touch your nose
with your index fingers instead. And if someone “wais” to you, you can
return it. Just place your palms together in front of your chest.
12
Two claps(拍手)
Some Zimbabweans follow handshakes with two claps each. In
order to prevent the spread of disease, the first step is often skipped
(省略) now. When two people meet, the first person asks, “How are
you?” Then, this person claps. The other person replies, “I'm fine,” and
claps in return.
续表
13
Shaka sign
This way of greeting has been popular among surfers. It started
with Hamana Kallili, a Hawaiian man. After losing his three middle
fingers in an accident, he used the Shaka sign to greet his coworkers.
To show your own shaka, curl(使弯曲) your three middle
fingers, straighten out your thumb and little finger, and shake your hand
back and forth(来回地).
