第9课时八年级上册 Modules 10～12一、阅读理解A(2018·山东德州陵城第二次练兵)People use different ways to greet others around the world. There are hugs, kisses, and bows. It is not proper to use the same way in different cultures. Let me share a couple of funny stories with you. They all show differences in greetings.Years ago, I worked in a Japanese office with two American colleagues(同事). On the last day, we invited all of the Japanese colleagues to dinner at a restaurant on the top floor. After dinner, we all went in an elevator(电梯). My American colleagues would get off on the third floor. And the others would continue to the first floor.When the elevator arrived at the third floor, my American colleagues got off. They were talking to each other, They didn't turn back, or smile or wave to the others. But all the Japanese colleagues bowed to their backs as they walked away. I never felt so embarrassed to be an American.I got off on the next floor. And I turned and bowed to the Japanese colleagues in the elevator. Of course, they all bowed to me, too.In America, hugs are normal among friends. It is the way you say hello to them. But it doesn't work in Japanese culture. Most Japanese people only do this with people they love. They even seldom hug family members. When I first arrived in Japan, I used to hug people. But their look on their faces was like “Someone just killed my dog.” I didn't hug anyone for a long time after that. Young Japanese people are gradually beginning to accept the Western style of greeting, but it is still not proper to hug people you don't know well.These differences are all about culture and society.
