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(尊重) 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 already know well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave(挥手), or maybe just nod(点头) their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额) 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 something 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.
( )21. The way of greeting is to ______ in America.
A. kiss B. shake hands C. bow D. hug
( )22. The underlined part “the same reason” refers to “______”.
A. showing love B. showing respect
C. thanking each other D. introducing each other

A. it’s impolite to press one’s nose in New Zealand
B. Hongi is a kind of traditional food in New Zealand
C. the Maori used to be an old village in New Zealand
D. pressing the forehead is an old tradition in New Zealand
( )24. How low does one Japanese bow to the other
A. It depends on how respected the other person is.
B. It depends on how old the other person is.
C. It depends on how successful the other person is.

Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also, don’t wrap(用包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because they are the colors for funerals(葬礼). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.
In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.
In Germany if you are invited to dinner, flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess(女主人), but don’t take her red roses because it means you are in love with .her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it’s an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything, either. Don’t wrap your presents in white, brown, or black paper.
( )26. According to the passage, ______ must never be given to Chinese people as presents.

Without changes, our lives would be very boring. It would be like listening to the same song on your MP4 player over and again.
Some people don’t like changes. They want to do the same things and see the same people every day. ①当事情变化时,这让他们感觉不舒服。It’s like some children. If all their toys aren’t in their places, they can’t go to sleep. However, changing is a big part of life and we all change in small ways every day. The young get stronger and the old get weaker. We meet new friends or we get new hobbies.
You’ll go through many changes in your life. In America, some people change jobs over ten times during their lives. Some change their homes many times. They like changing because they think it improves their lives.
② China has seen many changes in recent years and most of them are very good. People are healthier and they’re living longer. People have more money and more food, and they also get a better education. Children are growing taller and the children in Shanghai are now the tallest in China. Changes have been good for China and they’ll be good for you.

Dear David,
As we all know, different countries have different manners. There are some differences between Chinese customs and American customs. Let me tell you some customs here.
In China, you are supposed to shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. You should be on time when someone asks you to have dinner. By the way, if you are invited to a dinner party, remember to bring a small gift. You are not supposed to make a noise while eating food except noodles. It’s rude to point at anyone with your chopsticks.
I hope you’ll have a good trip.
Yours,
Li Ming
