牛津深圳版初中英语九年级上册期中能力测试题(含听力音频)
The epidemic (疫情) has changed our lives. It not only forces us to stay at home, but also changes the way we work, study, and even go shopping. In many countries, the Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of disease, people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let's take a look!
Lean forward, touch cheeks (脸颊) and make a kissing sound. This is French people's favorite way of greeting. It's very romantic. But when facing the virus, kisses are not good. Etiquette expert (礼仪专家) Philippe Lichtfus gives people a suggestion: simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting. It's not so romantic but it's safe.
Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease.
She says that if you meet, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink. Isn't it cute?
It's a very Australian thing to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it's a bit crude if you do this to your teachers.
A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran. In the video, 3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other. They wear masks with their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we can't shake hands, why not try to "shake" feet?
①Touch cheeks. ②Hug each other. ③Make a kissing sound.
④Give a tap on the back. ⑤Lean forward. ⑥Look into a person's eyes.
