With the development of technology, people from different countries can easily communicate with each other. However, cultural differences may cause misunderstandings if we don’t pay attention to them. In many Asian countries, such as Japan and Korea, bowing is a common greeting. The way of bowing is different according to the person you are greeting. When greeting an elder or a person in a higher position, you should bow deeply. When greeting friends, a slight bow is enough. Bowing shows respect and politeness. In Western countries, like the US and England, handshakes are more common. A firm handshake is a sign of confidence and friendliness. When shaking hands, you should look the other person in the eye and smile. Hugging is also common among friends, but it’s not suitable for formal occasions. In some African countries, people greet each other by touching foreheads. This is a traditional way to show friendship and trust. They believe that touching foreheads can pass their kindness and respect to each other. Understanding these greeting customs can help us communicate better with people from different cultures. It’s important to remember that there is no right or wrong in different cultures—we just need to respect them. ( )21. What is a common greeting in Japan and Korea? A. Handshake B. Bowing C. Hugging D. Touching foreheads ( )22. When should you bow deeply in Asian countries? A. When greeting friends B. When greeting elders C. When greeting classmates D. When greeting children ( )23. What does a firm handshake show in Western countries? A. Rudeness B. Shyness C. Confidence and friendliness D. Sadness ( )24. How do people in some African countries greet each other? A. By bowing B. By shaking hands C. By touching foreheads D. By kissing cheeks B Table manners vary from country to country. What is polite in one country may be rude in another. So it’s necessary to learn about table manners before traveling to a new country. In China, table manners are very important. When eating with others, you should wait for the elders to sit down first and start eating. You should use chopsticks correctly—don’t stick them into the rice, and don’t wave them around. It’s also polite to serve food for the elders and ask them to eat more. In France, people pay much attention to table manners. They usually eat slowly and enjoy their food. It’s impolite to rush while eating. You should put your napkin on your lap before eating. When you finish eating, you should put your knife and fork together on the plate to show that you are full. In India, table manners are quite different. People usually eat with their right hand, and they never use their left hand to touch food. They often eat on a mat on the floor instead of a table. It’s polite to eat the food that the host offers you, and you shouldn’t waste food. No matter which country you visit, remember to respect the local table manners. This can show your politeness and help you have a good time with the local people. ( )25. What should you do first when eating with elders in China? A. Start eating first B.
