In many Western countries like the US and Canada, a firm handshake is the most common way to greet someone in a business setting. Friends might give each other a hug or just wave. In Japan and Korea, bowing is the traditional greeting. The depth of the bow depends on the social status of the person you are greeting. The deeper the bow, the more respect you show. In New Zealand, the people practice the “hongi”. This involves pressing one’s nose and forehead against another’s. It is a sign of sharing breath and life force. In some Middle Eastern countries, men might greet each other by kissing on the cheeks three times, alternating sides. However, this is usually only between close friends or family members. （　　）1. What is the most common business greeting in the US and Canada? A. Bowing. B. Hugging. C. A firm handshake. D. Kissing on the cheeks. （　　）2. What does the depth of a bow in Japan show? A. Age. B. Respect. C. Mood. D. Health. （　　）3. What is the “hongi”? A. A type of wave. B. A nose-and-forehead press. C. A cheek kiss. D. A handshake. （　　）4. In which situation might men kiss three times on the cheeks in the Middle East? A. Between close friends or family. B. In a formal business meeting. C. When greeting a stranger. D. When saying goodbye. B Table manners vary greatly around the world. In China, it is polite to leave a little food on your plate at the end of the meal to show that the host provided enough food. However, in many Western countries, finishing everything on your plate is a compliment to the cook, suggesting you enjoyed the meal. In India and some parts of the Middle East, people eat with their right hand. The left hand is considered unclean. So, never use your left hand to pass food or eat. In Japan, slurping noodles is not rude; it actually shows you are enjoying the meal and compliments the chef. In Russia, if you are invited to someone’s home, it is customary to bring a gift, such as flowers or chocolates. However, avoid giving yellow flowers, as they are associated with funerals. Also, remember to take off your shoes when entering someone’s home in many Asian countries, including Japan and Korea. （　）5. In China, leaving a little food on the plate shows ______.

This is a feeling of confusion or anxiety when you are in an unfamiliar culture. It happens to almost everyone, even experienced travelers. Culture shock usually has four stages. The first is the “honeymoon stage”. Everything seems new, exciting, and romantic. You love the food, the people, and the scenery. However, this stage usually lasts only a few weeks. Then comes the “frustration stage”. You start to notice the differences between your culture and the new one. Simple things like ordering food or taking a bus become difficult. You might feel lonely, homesick, or even angry. This is the hardest part of culture shock. After some time, you enter the “adjustment stage”. You begin to get used to the new way of life. Your confidence grows, and daily tasks become easier. You start to accept the differences and develop routines. Finally, you reach the “acceptance stage”. You feel comfortable in the new culture. You may not agree with everything, but you understand and respect the differences. You can even find humor in misunderstandings. Culture shock is normal. The key is to be patient with yourself and open-minded. Talk to locals, ask questions, and try new things. Soon, you will adjust and enjoy your new environment. 1. What is culture shock? 2. How many stages does culture shock usually have? 3. Which stage is described as the hardest part of culture shock? 4.
