Ⅲ. 阅读理解【主题：人与社会 文化差异】
Each country has its unique (独特的) rules. When in a foreign country, we should obey the rules. When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Now let's learn about some manners in four different countries.
Manal, from Saudi Arabia
The traditional greeting between men in my country—grasp (抓住) right hand, place left hand on his right shoulder and kiss each cheek (面颊). For eating, if you like some food, you can let out a noisy burping (打嗝). In fact, it's rude if you don't do so.
Razdan, from Malaysia
We greet people by shaking hands. But the handshake lasts 10 or 12 seconds. Often, both hands are used. In my country, we never use the word “No”. In Malaysia, “Yes” means “I agree” and “Maybe” means “No”.
Tony, from Germany
Always shake hands when introduced to a man. The handshake is accompanied (伴随的) with a nod of the head. Remember to be on time every time in Germany.
