With the development of technology, more and more people have chances to communicate with people from different countries. However, cultural differences can easily cause misunderstandings if we don’t know them. In many Western countries, people pay much attention to personal space. They don’t like others to stand too close to them when talking. If you stand too close, they may feel uncomfortable and even move away. But in many Asian countries, people like to stand close to each other when talking, which shows friendliness. Greeting customs are also different around the world. In the United States, people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time. They shake hands firmly and look at each other in the eyes. In Japan, people bow to greet each other, and the depth of the bow depends on their relationship. In some African countries, people greet each other by touching foreheads. When it comes to giving gifts, there are also many cultural rules. In China, it’s polite to give gifts with both hands. But in some Western countries, people usually give gifts with one hand. Also, in China, red is a lucky color, so red wrapping paper is often used. But in some countries, such as Japan, white wrapping paper is used for funerals, so it’s not suitable for giving gifts. To avoid misunderstandings in cross-cultural communication, we should learn about different cultural customs. Only in this way can we communicate better and build good relationships with people from all over the world. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
