Lesson 4

 

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

 

Different countries have wildly different forms of greeting.

 

In the USA, when you pass by someone you know, a nod is acceptable, and you usually shake hands with someone you first meet. But in Latin countries, a firm handshake 36 (consider) rude. In my home country, Mauritius, when people meet, they usually kiss each other 37 the cheeks. This is also common in France, 38 the act is called faire la bise. However, this is not 39 universal rule.

 

During my first week in the USA, I kissed every single girl I met. My friends had to tell me that that was inappropriate, 40 (leave) me in great embarrassment. What is common here, however, is for friends 41 (hug) each other—something I was not used to. Hugs always make me 42 (frighten) because I don't really like that. This may seem strange since even kissing 43 (stranger) is normal in my country. Now that I think about it, I hate cheek-kissing as well.

 

Wouldn't it be 44 (enjoy) to have a greeting code that is 45 (wide) acceptable? I'm not saying we should start doing that, but we can surely do something to avoid misunderstanding.
