A

When you travel to different countries, greeting customs can be totally different. In most parts of China, people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time. Japanese and Korean people prefer to bow instead of handshakes. In India, people put their palms together and say “namaste”.

Many European countries like France and Italy have a special custom: kissing cheeks. The number of kisses changes in different cities—two in Paris, four in some northern towns. However, it is very rude to kiss strangers in most Asian areas.

Table manners also make a big difference. Chinese people share dishes with serving chopsticks, while Westerners use their own forks and knives. Unless you learn these small rules, you may feel uncomfortable or even make others upset.

四、阅读理解B（选择型，4小题，每题2分）

Learning about cultural differences helps us get along well with foreign friends. Lily is an exchange student from the UK studying in China. At first, she met many confusing problems.

Last month, she visited her Chinese host family. When she arrived, the host’s mom gave her a big hug. Lily felt a little embarrassed because British people seldom hug new people. At dinner, everyone put food into her bowl with chopsticks. In Britain, people only eat their own food. Lily was confused but tried her best to be polite.

Later, she read books about Chinese traditions. She realized that Chinese people show warmth and care by offering food and hugs. Now she is used to this custom. She also tells her Chinese friends about British table rules: you should sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table while eating.

Small cultural lessons go a long way. As long as we respect each other’s customs, cross-cultural communication will become easy.
