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
【13】
选项
答案
N
解析
此处应为形容词。根据上下文,本段对比了中西文化介绍认识陌生人的礼仪,前两句介绍了西方通常的做法,因此本句应该介绍东方惯常的做法,由此可以推断空白处应为typical一词,typical introductions意为“典型的介绍”。
