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.
Now, let’s look at the simple introduction of shaking hands. Americans like a【14】handshake. But the French【15】a light, short handshake. If you shake a Frenchman’s hand the American way, he may think you’re【16】.
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【17】if you meet someone in Brazil and he gives you a hug. If you【18】this gesture, your friendship may not start well!
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. Although it might seem like they’re tired or bored, such behavior is normal and should not be taken【20】.
A. therapy B. uncultured C. boredom D. thereby
E. prefer F. firm G. misinterpret H. personally
I. insignificant J. communicator K. important L. illustrate
M. offended N. typical O. image
【16】
选项
答案
B
解析
此处应为形容词或动词分词,作表语。结合上两句提到的法国人和美国人喜欢不同的握手方式,可以判断如果用美国人的方式与法国人握手,会被认为没文化,没教养,即uncultured。
