For centuries, China has been known as Liyi Zhibang, which means “a state of ceremonies”. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist - and - palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist - and - palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday reception.
So, how should people do the fist - and - palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrows (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold - fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.

答案： 21. B【点拨】词义猜测题。根据“There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist - and - palm salute was quite a classic example.”可知拱手礼是一个相当经典的例子，因此是指古代中国有许多问候礼仪，etiquette意为“Manners”，故选B。22. A【点拨】推理判断题。根据“Firstly, stand at attention. If you're a man, make a half fist with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest... If you're a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.”可知如果你是男人，用你的右手握半个拳头，然后左手在胸前握住右手，如果你是女人，你应该用另一种方式来做，应该是右手放在上面。故选A。23. C【点拨】细节理解题。根据“People may be more familiar with the hold - fist salute... Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger and don't point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.”可知确保左手拇指靠近食指，不要指向自己，因为这是不礼貌的表现。故选C。24. D【点拨】推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段的描写可知，拱手礼和抱拳礼看似相似，但却截然不同。故选D。
