Greetings are an important part of cross-cultural communication. Different countries have different ways to greet people. In the United States, people usually shake hands firmly when they meet for the first time. A weak handshake is considered impolite. Friends and family members often hug or high-five each other.
In Japan, people bow to show respect. The depth of the bow depends on the situation and the relationship between people. A deeper bow means more respect. Young people may also wave their hands instead of bowing.
In France, people often shake hands and kiss on both cheeks. The number of kisses varies by region. In Paris, it's usually two kisses, while in some parts of France, people may kiss three or four times.
In Middle Eastern countries, people often greet each other with "As-salamu alaykum", which means "Peace be upon you". They may also shake hands, but men usually don't shake hands with women unless the woman offers her hand first.
Understanding these greeting customs can help avoid misunderstandings and show respect to people from different cultures. When traveling abroad, it's always a good idea to learn about local greeting traditions.

六、 任务型阅读（ 每小题 2 分，共10 分）
阅读下面短文，按要求完成下列各题。
Body language is an important part of cross-cultural communication. It includes gestures, facial expressions, and body movements. Different cultures have different meanings for the same body language.
For example, nodding the head means "yes" in most countries, but in Bulgaria and some parts of Greece, it means "no". Winking (眨眼) is a friendly gesture in many Western countries, but in some Asian countries, it may be seen as rude or flirty.
Another example is the "OK" gesture. In the US, it means "all right" or "good". But in France, it means "zero" or "worthless". In some South American countries, it's a rude gesture.
Pointing with your finger is also different across cultures. In many Western countries, it's acceptable to point at objects, but pointing at people is impolite. In some Asian countries, pointing with any finger is rude; people may use their chin instead.
Understanding body language differences can help avoid misunderstandings. When communicating with people from other cultures, it's best to observe first and then follow their lead. If you're not sure about a gesture, you can ask politely.
