Read the following passage and choose the best answer by circling A, B, C or D.(1p)

One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one another.
There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common handshake to other
strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple action of greeting someone
differs greatly from place to place.
In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm. The handshake has an
interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that you weren’t carrying a weapon.
Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are
also common in other parts of the world, including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s
hands very strongly during the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each
other. However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press their
noses together in a sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common when two people
meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of times varies depending on the
particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss each other (but not a woman) on the cheek.
Men will also shake hands with other men there. In some Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan,
bowing is the traditional greeting. In Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest
custom, though, is likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others.

B. You shouldn’t look at people when shaking their hands in the United States

C. People in Russia, but not England, shake hands

D. The number of times people kiss on the cheek varies

29 . How do most people in New Zealand greet each other?

A. By pressing noses together B. By sticking cut their tongue

C. With a kiss on the cheek D. With a handshake
30 . What can be inferred about getting customs in Saudi Arabia?

A. Women do not kiss other women when they meet

B. Men shake hands with women when meeting them for the first time
