四、阅读理解

In the USA, it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are informal (非正式的)—a handshake, a smile and a“hello”will do just fine.

The British often simply say“hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck (轻吻) on the cheek, is common in an informal situation between men and women who know each other very well.

In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.

Hungarians (匈牙利人) like to greet others in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.

In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may be also common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.

In Armenia, by tradition, a man needs to wait for a woman to offer her hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members, a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.
