Handshaking, though a European practice is often en in big cities of China. No

题文

Handshaking, though a European practice is often en in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed(无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of friendship. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other's hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. "Let's shake (hands) on it" sometimes means agreement reached. Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chine abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or-her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding(误解) among the Chine that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chine are rather rerved(保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more rerved than some Chine today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.小题1:In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.A．to make a dealB．to greet each otherC．to show friendlinessD．to reach an agreement小题2:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.A．where handshaking was first practidB．how handshaking came aboutC．about the relationship between handshaking and tradeD．about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China小题3: According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A．Westerners are more rerved than the Chine.B．Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.C．We should make a judgement before shaking hands.D．We shouldn't shake hands with European women.小题4:The main purpo of the text is ______.A．to tell us some differences between the East and the WestB．to offer us some important facts about handshakingC．to introduce us to some different customs in the WestD．to give us some advice before we travel abroad 题型：未知难度：其他题型
