题目

Handshakes are popular in China. However, wait for your Chinese partner to start the gesture. The Chinese will sometimes nod as the starting greeting. A visit to a school, a theater, or other workplaces is likely to be greeted with applause（鼓掌） as a sign of welcome. In turn , you should respond by applauding back. You should avoid making expansive gestures and using unusual facial expressions. The Chinese don’t often use their hands when speaking, will only become annoyed with a speaker who does this way, so try not talk with your hands. However, some hand gestures are still necessary. For example, to draw attention, you can turn your palm down, waving your fingers towards yourself and use your whole hand rather than your index finger to point. Don’t touch your Chinese colleague, do not even pat him on the shoulder. The Chinese, especially those who are older and in higher social positions, dislike being touched by strangers. Acknowledge the most senor person in a group first. Try as well to avoid looking straight into the eyes of your Chinese colleague: this is particularly rude during a meeting and may hurt your Chinese colleague’s feelings. In China, smiling is not noticeable, either, since there is a heavy emphasis on pressing（压抑） feelings and attitude. Members of the same sex may hold hands in public in order to show friendliness. Public displays of affection between the sexes are hardly acceptable. Don’t put your hands in your mouth, as it is considered impolite. Consequently, when in public, avoid biting your nails, removing food from your teeth, and similar practices. Pushing and cutting ahead is common in line-ups among the Chinese, but they don’t appreciate being cut in front of themselves. Spitting（吐痰） in public is not acceptable. It will be heavily fined now. Blowing your nose with a handkerchief is also acceptable, but it is advisable to turn away from people while doing so. 1．According to the writer, people in China should keep__________ when communicating with others.
