When you have to meet someone from a different culture, be prepared. If you understand cultural differences, you’ll be a better communicator — even before you open your mouth!
In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are【S1】______to someone important. Standing up shows politeness and【S2】______. After that, someone will usually offer to shake hands. But in the East,【S3】______introductions often begin and end with bowing rather than shaking hands.
Now, let’s look at the simple introduction of shaking hands. Americans like a【S4】______handshake. But the French【S5】______a light, short handshake. If you shake a Frenchman’s hand the American way, he may think you’re uncultured.
People in Eastern European countries and some Latino cultures prefer shorter handshakes, too. Hugging after shaking hands is also a common introduction. Don’t be scared or【S6】______if you meet someone in Brazil and he gives you a hug. If you【S7】______this gesture, your friendship may not start well!
The【S8】______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【S9】______. 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. Although it might seem like they’re tired or bored, such behavior is normal and should not be taken【S10】______.
[A] proper [F] firm [K] introduced
[B] respect [G] misinterpret [L] illustrate
[C] boredom [H] personally [M] offended
[D] naturally [I] light [N] typical
[E] prefer [J] impression [O] preferable
【S5】
选项
答案
E
解析
空前表示复数的the French表明,本空应填一原形动词,故[E]prefer、[G]misinterpret、[I]light和[L]illustrate入选。上句的like和本句的But,空后的a light,short handshake表明,所填词应与like对应,且能与handshake搭配,只有[E]prefer符合要求,故答案为[E]。
