When you have to meet someone from a different culture, be prepared. If you understand cultural differences, you’ll be a better【11】—even before you open your mouth!
In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are introduced to someone【12】. Standing up shows politeness and respect. After that, someone will usually "offer to shake hands. But in the East,【13】introductions often begin and end with bowing rather than shaking hands.

The proper customs for eye contact vary between cultures, too. Westerners appreciate regular eye contact during conversations. Refusing to look a Westerner in the eye may be understood as lack of trust, or maybe【19】. But in some African countries, too much eye contact can offend or sometimes have romantic meanings. Some people in Middle Eastern countries may appear to have their eyes half-closed while talking to you.

I. insignificant J. communicator K. important L. illustrate
M. offended N. typical O. image
【14】
选项
答案
F
解析
此处应为形容词。下一句中but提示,本句空白处的形容词应该与下一句中的light short意思相反,因此答案是finn,a firm handshake意为“紧紧的握手”。
