Question

A greeting is a way of saying "Hello" to someone. People in different countries greet each other in different ways. Here are some.

World Greetings

Philippine	The everyday greeting for friends is a handshake for both men and women. Men some­times pat each other on the back.
Japan	When people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands. In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with two hands. This is polite. Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that the person is embarrassed.
New Zealand	Usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.
Brazil	Men often shake hands when they meet for the first time. When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.

試題分析：本文講述了不同國(guó)家可能有相同或不同的風(fēng)俗禮儀，文章中主要講述了四個(gè)國(guó)家的禮儀。
小題1:通過(guò)觀察四個(gè)國(guó)家的禮儀，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)擁抱是沒(méi)有的。所以本題選B。
小題2:通過(guò)閱讀和觀察會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，在四個(gè)國(guó)家中，見面時(shí)都可以進(jìn)行握手。所以本題選A。
小題3:根據(jù)When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello.可知，A是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that the person is embarrassed可知，B是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori.可知，C是正確的；根據(jù)The everyday greeting for friends is a handshake for both men and women可知，D是錯(cuò)誤的。所以本題選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文主要是比較不同國(guó)家之間的餐桌禮儀，同樣的行為在不同國(guó)家有不同的要求。所以在閱讀時(shí)應(yīng)該注意比較它們的不同之處。特別是同一種行為在不同國(guó)家的表現(xiàn)。另外，應(yīng)注意根據(jù)信息能對(duì)問(wèn)題加以推測(cè)。
