Choose the word or phrase ( A, B , C or D) that best fits each space in the following passage.
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
