Each culture has its own form of acceptable greeting behavior, usually based on the level of formality found within the society. The rules of social distance etiquette(礼节) vary by culture. Africans, for ex- ample, are far less (47)______ in their greetings than Europeans. Expect a warm physical greeting, an ex- tended handshake or a hand on the shoulder in most African cultures. Also expect to be asked how your trip was and how your family is doing.

The arrival and a gushing(说话滔滔不绝的) greeting was considered the (49)______ a villager could do for a traveler.

In Argentina, greetings are usually effusive(过分热情的) with plenty of hugging and (52)______, not unlike the French faire la bise (kiss on both cheeks).

Don’t interpret a soft hand-shake or lack of eye contact as a sign of weakness or lack of aggression. It simply means that your Chinese colleague is, not overly (56)______ to physical contact when greeting a stranger.

答案
B
解析
下文提到非洲人在与对方问候时喜欢身体发生接触,还喜欢滔滔不接地说一些“你家里人还好吗?”之类的冗长乏味的客套话。由此可见,选B最合适,指非洲人在说问候的话时比欧洲人更缺乏条理性。
