三、阅读单选(15小题,每小题2分,共30分)
Before you go to country, it will be much help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do ” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year, a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shook hands. So when they met their English friends at the airport, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shook hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made all of them laugh.

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave, or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting two people press their noses and foreheads together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face. In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
31.How low does one Japanese bow to the other

You can’t choose your family. Being born into a family is one of many choices you can’t make. Your family help you choose your name, what you eat and wear, when to study, how to behave, and what to believe. Put all these together and you have a “family culture”, which you can’t choose but you help create. And the family culture shapes who you are.
Every family culture is different. There are millions of families just like yours, but none are identical. My family is normal in some ways. My parents, a teacher and a worker, try their best to raise three children in a small village in England. It is important to be respectful, to try(even if we fail), and to take responsibility for our actions and for each other. But what culture do we have I think my family culture is simple—to live well and learn.
When Yao Ming was young, he was punished for being dishonest, so honesty is very important to him. Famous writer Mo Yan, born in Shandong, lives a simple life. He works hard and is nice to others. He thinks positive family values (价值观) make good people. All families have their advantages and disadvantages. No family is perfect, but that doesn't matter.

Dear Ivan,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me introduce our Chinese table manners. When you’re eating, it’s polite to let the elderly start first. And you are expected to keep your mouth closed while chewing. If you want to leave early, please ask for permission.
There are also some other things you should remember. First, it’s impolite to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice and leave them there. Second, it’s not allowed to point at others with your chopsticks. Finally, you’re not supposed to reach across the table to pick foods.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Xiao Wei
