Knowing about them can help us avoid embarrassment and communicate better with people from different cultures. In Japan, bowing is a common greeting. People bow to show respect. The depth and length of the bow depend on how polite they want to be. For example, when meeting a teacher or an elder, people bow deeply and hold it for a few seconds. When greeting friends, a short, slight bow is enough. In the United States, people usually greet each other with a handshake or a smile. A handshake is firm but not too strong. Friends may also hug each other, especially if they haven’t seen each other for a long time. It’s not common to bow in the US, so if you bow to an American, they may feel surprised. In France, people often greet friends by kissing on the cheek. Usually, they kiss twice, once on each cheek. But in some parts of France, people kiss three times. It’s a friendly and informal greeting. For formal occasions, like meeting a boss, a handshake is more proper. In India, the traditional greeting is to press palms together and say “Namaste”, which means “I bow to you”. People usually bow slightly while doing this. It’s a polite way to greet both friends and strangers. ( )16. What is the common greeting in Japan? A. Handshake B. Bowing C. Kissing cheeks D. Hugging ( )17. How do people in the US usually greet each other? A. By bowing deeply B. By kissing cheeks C. By shaking hands or smiling D. By pressing palms together ( )18. In France, how many times do people usually kiss on the cheek when greeting friends? A. Once B. Twice C. Three times D. Four times ( )19. What does “Namaste” mean in Indian greeting? A. “Hello” B. “Goodbye” C. “I bow to you” D. “Thank you” B Table manners are an important part of cross-cultural communication. Different countries have different table manners, and it’s important to learn them before visiting a new country. In China, it’s polite to wait for the elders or hosts to start eating first. We usually use chopsticks to eat. It’s rude to stick chopsticks into the food, wave chopsticks around, or point at people with chopsticks. We also don’t use chopsticks to hit the bowl. In England, people use knives and forks to eat. The knife is held in the right hand and the fork in the left. When eating soup, people use a spoon. It’s impolite to make noise while eating. Also, you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table during the meal. In India, people often eat with their right hand. The left hand is used for other things, so using it to eat is considered rude. They usually eat curry and rice, and it’s common to be offered tea during the meal. You should accept the tea politely, even if you don’t want to drink it. Learning table manners from different cultures can help us show respect to others and have a pleasant meal together. It’s a small but important part of crossing cultures. ( )20.
