In Thailand, people put their palms together and bow slightly when greeting. This is called “wai”. The higher the hands are held, the more respect is shown. People never touch others’ heads, because the head is seen as the most important part of the body. In New Zealand, local Maori people have a special greeting called “hongi”. They press their noses together to share breath. It means they become friends and share the same life. In the Middle East, people often shake hands with the right hand. Using the left hand to greet or give gifts is considered impolite. Knowing these small customs can help us communicate smoothly with people from different countries. 26. What is the Thai greeting called? A. hongi B. wai C. bow D. shake 27. Why don’t Thai people touch others’ heads? A. Because it is dirty B. Because the head is important C. Because it is heavy D. Because people hate it 28. What do Maori people do in the “hongi” greeting? A. Shake hands B. Kiss on the cheek C. Press noses together D. Bow deeply 29.

Why people shake hands B Table manners play an important role in daily communication. Good table manners can make people feel relaxed and happy. In China, we shouldn’t stick chopsticks straight into rice. It looks like a funeral custom. We also shouldn’t tap bowls with chopsticks, because it is a rude way to ask for food. In Western countries, people should keep their elbows off the table while eating. They should cut food into small pieces before eating, and never talk with food in their mouths. In some African countries, people eat with their right hands only. The left hand is used for cleaning, so it is not polite to use it for eating. When eating with foreign friends, following local table manners is a basic way to show respect. It helps us build friendly relationships. 31. What is rude to do with chopsticks in China? A.

Smiling is almost always friendly in every culture. But some gestures are different. Thumbs-up means “good” in China, but it is rude in some Middle Eastern countries. Eye contact is also different. In western countries, looking into others’ eyes shows honesty. But in many Asian countries, avoiding eye contact shows respect to elders. Nodding head means “yes” in most countries. However, in some parts of Greece, it means “no”. Before using body language in foreign countries, we’d better learn its local meaning. Wrong gestures may cause misunderstanding. 51. What does smiling mean in almost all cultures? _ 52. What does thumbs-up mean in China? _ 53. What does eye contact show in western countries? _ 54. What does nodding head mean in Greece? _ 55.
