In different countries,people greet each other in different ways.Knowing these ways can help
you show respect when you meet someone from another country.
In Japan,people often bow.The deeper they bow,the more respect they show.In New
Zealand,the Maori people sometimes press their noses and foreheads together.This is called the
"hongi"and it means sharing the breath of life.In France,people often kiss on the cheek,but the
number of kisses changes in different areas.In some African countries like Kenya,a handshake
may last longer,and people may just touch palms softly.In the USA,a firm handshake and saying
“Hello'”are common.
Greetings are more than just "hello".They carry culture,history and respect.

Eye contact is another important part of 6.In North America,looking someone in the eye
shows confidence and honesty.But in some Asian and African countries,too much direct eye
contact can be a sign of disrespect.People may look 7 or away to show respect.
Even how you call someone over can be different.In the Philippines,you call a person by
8 all your fingers.Using one finger is only for calling dogs.
The most important 9 is to watch and learn.When you are not sure about a local custom,

二、阅读理解。
Visiting someone's home in a different country can be full of surprises.What is considered
polite in one culture might be rude in another.Let's look at some interesting guest customs.
Japan:The Importance of Punctuality and Gifts
In Japan,if you are invited to a home,it is very important to arrive on time-being late is
seen as disrespectful.You should bring a small gift,like nice sweets or fruit,beautifully wrapped.
However,avoid giving gifts in sets of four,as the number four is associated with death.When you
enter the house,remember to take off your shoes and point the soles away from the entrance.
Egypt:A Generous Welcome
In Egypt,guests are seen as a blessing.The host will often offer food and drinks many times.
It is polite for a guest to refuse once or twice at the beginning before finally accepting.This shows
modesty.Also,use only your right hand to eat or accept things,as the left hand is traditionally
considered unclean.Expect to be treated with great warmth and generosity.
Norway:Planning and Independence
In Norway,it is uncommon to "drop by"someone's home without an invitation.People value
their personal plans and privacy.Always call or message before visiting.When you are invited,it
is a good idea to bring a simple gift,like flowers or chocolate.Norwegian hosts are usually less
formal;they might just prepare some coffee and cake.Guests are often expected to be more
independent and not wait to be served constantly.
)l.【细节理解题】In Japan,why should a guest avoid giving a gift in sets of four?
A.Because four gifts are too expensive.
B.Because the number four is linked to good luck
C.Because the number four is associated with death.
D.Because it is a symbol of too much closeness.

三、回答问题。
Li Wei,a 15-year-old student from China,spent a month as an exchange student in Germany.
He lived with the Muller family.During his stay,he experienced several interesting cultural
misunderstandings.
The First Misunderstanding:The Compliment
One day,Li Wei cooked a traditional Chinese meal for the Muiller family.Mrs Muller said,
“This is delicious!”Li Wei replied,“Ohno,it's just a simple dish..I'm not a good cook at all..”
He expected Mrs Muller to insist,but she just smiled and changed the topic.Later,Li Wei found
out that in German culture,when someone gives you a compliment,the polite response is usually
“Thank you!”
The Second Misunderstanding:Punctuality
On his first weekend,the Muller family invited Li Wei to go hiking.They said,"We'll meet
at 9:00 a.m.at the front door.Li Wei arrived at 9:10 a.m.To his surprise,the whole family
was already waiting,looking at their watches.In Germany,being on time means being exactly on
time,or even a few minutes early.
The Third Misunderstanding:The Hug
After a month,when Li Wei was leaving,he wanted to show his gratitude.He politely shook

hands with Mr and Mrs Muller and gave them a small gift.But when 16-year-old Lisa Muller,their
daughter,reached out for a handshake,Li Wei felt a little embarrassed.In China,teenage boys
and girls usually don't have much physical contact.But in Germany,a quick hug between friends,
even of the opposite gender,is quite normal for saying goodbye.
Li Wei learned that in cross-cultural communication,there are no right or wrong customs-
only different ones.The most important thing is to watch,learn and keep an open mind.
1.How did Li Wei respond (when his German host mother praised his cooking?
2.What happened when Li Wei arrived at 9:10 a.m.for the hiking trip?

三、任务型阅读。
Li Hua went to the UK for a summer camp.During a group dinner,he sat next to Tom,a
British boy.When Li Hua finished his meal,he placed his chopsticks neatly across his rice bowl,
as he always did at home.Tom looked surprised and asked,"Are you still eating?"Li Hua was
confused.In China,putting chopsticks across the bowl means "I've finished.In the UK,
however,.placing utensils(餐具)across the plate often means“I'm not done yet;please don't
clear the plate.”
Another day,Tom said Li Hua's new T-shirt was "cool".Li Hua replied,"Oh,it's just a
cheap one."Tom didn't say anything but seemed a little awkward.Later,Li Hua learned that in
the UK,a simple "Thank you"is the usual reply to a compliment.His modest Chinese-style reply
sounded like he didn't trust Tom's opinion.
After the camp,Li Hua wrote in his diary,"Travelling isn't just about seeing new places.It's
also about learning that the same action can have different meanings in different cultures.The most
important thing is to watch,ask and keep a friendly heart."
