In the USA, it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are casual—a handshake, a smile and a “hello” will do just fine.
The British often simply say “hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck (轻吻) on the cheek (脸颊), is common in an informal (非正式的) situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.
In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.
Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.
In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may be also common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.
In Armenia, by tradition, a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members, a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.
1. In Britain, when two people meet for the first time, they usually _______.

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke ” But, don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the _________ in the world.
A. best B. worst C. most natural D. most different
2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often _________.
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god
C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
3. If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say
A. It’s OK if you smoke here. B. Let’s smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can’t smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage
A. think back to B. get used to C. look forward to D. keep close to
5. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B. Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D. People should understand cultural differences.

Dear Sue,
I am having a good time in Beijing. I am in a restaurant now. The restaurant is big and there are 30 tables in it. I order a bowl of noodles, some tofu and some vegetables. The dumplings here look good, and I want to order some next time. As for drinks, I order some tea. The meal will cost me 50 yuan.
The food here is very good. The noodles and the tofu are delicious, and the vegetables are great, but the tea isn’t very good.
The people in the restaurant use chopsticks (筷子) to have meals. I can’t use them and I am learning how to use them. It is very interesting. I think it will take me a long time to finish the meal.
I will go back to New York next week. See you soon.
