Day 4
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Greeting someone, saying goodbye – these situations fill me with unease. You have a second to make a dangerous decision. One peck (轻吻)? Two pecks? Three? No kisses at all? Why, I think, as I crash (撞到) into the other person’s face, why can it not be as simple as a handshake?
A survey by the soap company Radox in May showed one in five Brits now feels a handshake is “too formal”, according to the Daily Mail. 1 For one third of people the alternative was a hug, for 16 percent a kiss on the cheek.
British people are known to be reserved (保守的) unfriendly, some would say. 2 But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable. We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs.
The trouble is, we still find it a bit awkward. What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend, for example? 3
Guys don’t tend to kiss one another; my male friends in Britain go for the “manly hug”, taking each other stiffly (不自然地) in one arm and giving a few thumps (用力拍) on the back with words like “Take it easy, yeah?”.
4 Unlike the French, who comfortably deliver three, our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling (咯咯笑): “Oh, gosh, sorry, I didn’t mean to kiss you on the lips, I never know where to aim for first!”
5 Even the handshake had its problems: don’t shake too hard, but don’t hold the other person’s hand too limply (无力地) either, and definitely don’t go in with sweaty hands.
Maybe it’s better to leave it at a smile and a nod.

A. How should someone younger greet someone older?
B. Is it polite to kiss a foreigner when you meet for the first time?
C. Some 42 percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends.
D. Handshakes used to work for us because we didn’t have to get too close.
E. But then it’s never been easy for us poor, uncomfortable Brits.
F. Handshakes are still considered the most popular way of greeting in Britain.
G. The biggest questions, if you do decide to kiss, are how many times and which cheek first.
