France
France is famous for its romantic greetings. They touch each other ’s cheeks and make a kissing sound. But now, this habit may be coming to an end.

Australia
Australians are quite casual when it comes to greetings. “G'day, mate”, a handshake, and smile will suffice. But now the Australian government is urging Australians to take a pat on the back instead of a handshake. “There are other things that can be done, but certainly you could be exercising a degree of care and caution”, said New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard.
Iran
Traditionally, people in the Iran shake hands lo greet with one another. But today, the global pandemic has given rise to the “footshake” as a means of greeting.

On the Father's Day before my father entered a nursing home, I gave him an Elmo doll. Like the colored pencils and sketchbook I bought him a year earlier, this was a desperate attempt to bring some joy to my increasingly bed ridden father. Years ago, my father suffered a stroke（中风）which left him in bed for the rest of his life.
At the sight of Elmo, my three elder sisters shook their heads, certain that our father who was anything but childish would not like it. Sure enough, my father, 76, broke into that unpleasant smile that barely concealed his dislike.
“What on earth is this ” shouted my sisters, bursting into laughter.
“Daddy knows why I give him this,” I said, thinking that they had no idea what Elmo meant to my father. To my disappointment, my father shrugged. How could he not remember Years earlier, I had been in the kitchen and heard something rare from the living room: laughter. I ran downstairs and saw that Elmo was on the PBS cooking show “The Frugal Gourmet”. “I don’t know what it is about him that gets to me,” my father choked out between laughter and tears. “He's just so funny!”
As my father lay in the nursing home, I would visit him in the evenings. We watched old movies with the lights off. Even though he never asked for it, I brought Elmo from home and put him where my father could see him. Before leaving, I would take Elmo from the dresser and place him in my father’s immobile arm. A slight smile would appear on his face. It never looked softer.

Over centuries, kung fu has been used for self-defense and to defend against enemies in war.
In Dengfeng today, ten kilometers from the Shaolin Temple, there are over 60 martial arts schools with more than 50,000 students. They come to the schools for a variety of reasons. The majority hope to become movie stars. Some come to learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military or police force. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work.
Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng. Recently, he was offered an important role in a kung fu movie. It would have been good publicity for his school, but he did not accept. He doesn't agree with how kung fu is often shown in movies. Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (杂技) and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students traditional kung fu forms. He teaches them the way his master taught him. But attracting new students to this style of kung fu has become a problem. Hu's afraid his art will soon die out. He has to remind his students that kung fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain.
“There are no high kicks or acrobatics here,” he says. “It is hard to convince boys to spend many years learning something that won't make them wealthy or famous.” Hu's students sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature is. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other's shoulders to build leg strength. To master kung fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin expression meaning to “enduring suffering”. The life of a Shaolin master, Hu belives, is not easy or attractive.
Master Hu is in a difficult position. For old traditions to survive, the young must learn. Gradually, he has begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the acrobatic kung fu forms, hoping to attract new students. Then, maybe, he'll be able to convince them to learn Shaolin kung fu the traditional way.
12. Which is the main reason why most people study kung fu
A. To learn self-control. B. To win fame and fortune. C. To get high-paid jobs. D. To build up their strength.
13. What does “here” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. In kung fu movies. B. In the city of Dengfeng. C. In master Hu’s school D. In the art of kung fu.
14. What can be inferred from Hu's idea
A. Traditional kung fu needs protection. B. Kung fu can function as entertainment.
C. The life of a kung fu master is more than attractive. D. The hardship in learning kung fu is discouraging
15. What's Hu's attitude towards the future of kung fu
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Reserved.
