语 篇 提 能 阅读理解 A If you are going on a visit to the United States, the following may be helpful. Most people shake hands and look at each others eyes when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug; a man may kiss a woman quickly on one side of her face. Men dont usually hug one another; instead they shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to cover the handshake or lightly hold the other persons arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. There are two common ways to ask someone to come over to you. Sometimes, people raise an index finger (食指) and then bend and straighten it quickly. Other times, they raise a hand and curl (卷曲) the fingers quickly towards themselves. Both ways are polite. To call a waiter, people just raise one index finger to head level or above. It is common for people to use the hand and index finger to express their feelings. In the United States, if mothers are angry with children, they may shake an index finger at them. People may show that they like children by gently touching their head. In business and social situations, its important to look each other directly in the eye. If you dont, people will probably think that you are not interested. And in these kinds of situations, periods of silence make most people uncomfortable. While people are talking or standing together, they usually stand about one arms length away from each other. 语篇解读　本文是说明文，文章主要介绍了美国人人际交往中常用的一些身体语言。 1．If an American man meets another man whos his close friend, he is most likely to ________.
