When you have to meet someone from a different culture, be prepared. If you understand cultural differences, you’ll be a better【C1】______—even before you open your mouth!
In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are introduced to someone【C2】______. Standing up shows politeness and respect After that, someone will usually offer to shake hands. But in the East,【C3】______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.

【C5】
选项
答案
E
解析
此处应为动词原形,作谓语。本句中的but表明句中提到的法国人的握手方式与上句提到的美国人喜欢的握手方式不相同,由此可推断,空白处的动词应与上句动词like意思相近,因此prefer为正确答案。
