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
【S10】
选项
答案
H
解析
空前的should not be taken表明,本空应填一副词,故[D]naturally和[H]personally入选。由前面的这种行为是正常的(normal)可知,如果本空填入naturally“自然地”,则此处意为“不要自然地看待这种行为”,造成句子前后矛盾,故排除[D],故答案为[H]personally。should not be taken personally意为“看待汶种行为不应带右个人的想法”.
