Handshakes, kisses, hugs…people all over the world greet each other in different ways. Because of the outbreak of COVID 19, people are changing how they greet each other to stop the virus from spreading(传播). They have come up with some good ways to say hello.
France
French people love to kiss on the cheek, even between people who have only just met. As kissing and handshaking may spread the virus, a French expert says simply looking into a person's eyes is good enough as a greeting.
Australia
Holding your hand out to shake hands is popular in Australia. However, it's risky at this time. People said they could pat(轻拍) each other on the back.
Iran
In Iran, a video has gone viral(快速传播的) online. It shows three friends meeting, hands in their pockets, and two of them hitting their feet lightly against each other as a greeting. It seems to be a good way to replace their traditional greetings—handshaking and hugging.
UAE
A nose to nose greeting is popular in the United Arab Emirates(阿拉伯联合酋长国). People there rub(摩擦) their noses together upon meeting or leaving each other's company. Now UAE's Health and Prevention Ministry is advising people to stop this traditional greeting. It also said that people shouldn't shake hands, kiss or hug. Instead, they should greet each other
“by moving the hand from side to side only”.
( )26.Which of the following is the right way to greet each other in France during the outbreak of COVID 19
