China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies. Here is an interesting story that shows this. Once upon a time, a man 36 on a long trip to visit his friend and took a swan as a gift. But the swan 37 from its cage on the way and when he tried to 38 it, he got hold of nothing but a 39 . Instead of returning home, he continued his 40 taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this 41 gift, he was deeply moved. And the 42 ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was 43 far and wide. Chinese used to 44 one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This 45 has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is 46 used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and 47 on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a 48 position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants. 49 at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting. It is common social practice to 50 the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk 51   a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or    52 are a good choice to break the ice. With a 53 , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes 54 . Similar to Western customs, you should be 55  in asking a woman private questions. However, talking about her job or family life will never put you into danger. 小题1: A．got B．made C．took D．went 小题2: A．ran B．kept C．escaped D．avoided 小题3: A．catch B．chase C．follow D．trace 小题4: A．cage B．feather C．swan D．man 小题5: A．visit B．adventure C．journey D．expedition 小题6: A．unexpected B．good C．sudden D．accidental 小题7: A．warning B．sentence C．word D．saying 小题8: A．expanded B．spread C．extended D．increased 小题9: A．take B．put C．cup D．set 小题10: A．culture B．hobby C．habit D．tradition 小题11: A．often B．seldom C．always D．usually 小题12: A．appropriate B．satisfactory C．important D．practical 小题13: A．upper B．old C．lower D．young 小题14: A．And B．But C．Then D．Moreover 小题15: A．introduce B．devote C．lead D．leave 小题16: A．by B．in C．on D．with 小题17: A．marriage B．hobbies C．income D．ages 小题18: A．boy B．girl C．humans D．man 小题19: A．smoothly B．suddenly C．unfortunately D．expectedly 小题20: A．quick B．wise C．cautious D．free
