A Greeting is a way of saying "Hello" to.someone.People in different countries greet each other in different ways.The following are some examples.
In the United State,people usually shake hands.The handshake has an interesting origin(起源).It started long ago as a way of showing people that they weren't carrying a weapon(武器).Shaking the person's right hand while looking him or her in the eye is the usual way.
Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world,including Britain and Russia.In Russia, a man often holds another man's hand very strongly during the handshake.Most people in New Zealand also greet each other by shaking hands.However,the Maori people in New Zealand greet each other by pressing their noses together.
In other countries,such as France and Belgium,hugging and kissing are more common when two people meet. In those cultures,people kiss each other on the cheek(面额).The number of kisses is different from country to country.In Saudi Arabia,men might hug and kiss each other(but not with a woman)on the check.In some Eastern countries,including Japan,bowing is the traditional way of greeting people.

Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang Province began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can't read English. “It's like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia, “My private things become safe and my English improves a lot.”
Jia's mother is not the only mom who reads her child's diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of parents read their children's sectects. That's why many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy(隐私).
Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn't write it on paper. He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents know nothing about the Internet.
Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.
“Parents want to know what is going on in their children's lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents should be a better solution. “If your parents know that you are safe, they'll let you keep your secrets.”
