If you're traveling to the United States,you need to understand the common way to say hello—a handshake. Friends shake hands. Women,men and even children can shake hands.
Shaking hands also seems simple,but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands, you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.
Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake,the other person might think that you're not kind. He/She might also feel that you don't like him/her or you don't want to touch him/her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child,be careful not to hurt them.
Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.
Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch,the hand should be warm,clean and dry.
Warm:Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them.
Clean:If you know you're going to meet someone,wash your hands so they'll be clean.
Dry:Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn't a good feeling for the other person. Again,put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.

Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s,buildings were much smaller and lower,as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day.With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.
Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room.It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride.
When the elevator doors open,stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in.Even if you are in a hurry,it's impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator.
Don't stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close.Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable.
If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator,say“Excuse me,please”or“I'm sorry”rather than just pushing them out of the way.Others will understand it if you show some politeness.
If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮),ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them.This is considered to be polite.

Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
