Passage 1

Although the relaxed American style is well known, many new visitors think that it shows a

“lack of respect”. This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names

upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just smile and say “Hi” or

“Hello”, rather than using a more formal hand

shake. It is good to remember that to an American

such a relaxed greeting really means the same thing as a more official handshake somewhere else.

In

a

similar

way,

Americans

do

not

usually

give

a

special

“good

-

bye”

or

shake

hands

to

each

person when they leave a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the

whole group and perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, I’ll see you tomorrow.” They then will

leave. No handshakes.

Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally relaxed and at ease. Often

you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even putting their feet up on the

desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be offensive. Once Americans leave the

busy streets, they are easy and relaxed.

A visitor to the United States should, therefore, understand that being in a great hurry does

not

show

unfriendliness,

and

being

relaxed

and

being

at

ease

does

not

show

a

lack

of

respect.

Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem strange to a visitor. In

time you will learn these new ways.

1. What do many visitors think about the relaxed American style?

B

A. They think it’s quite normal.

B. They consider it disrespectful.

C. They view it as totally strange.

D. They believe it to be surprising.

2. Why do Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger?

B

A. Because they get used to this way of greeting.

B. Because they are very friendly.

C. Because they like strangers very much.

D. Because they want to make a friend.

3. To whom do Americans use “Hi” and “Hello” in greeting?

B

A. The people they know well.

B. Anyone they meet.

C. Their best friends.

D. Their family members.

4

. What’s the subject of this passage?

B

A. American Way of Greeting.

D. Americans’ Friendliness.
