活动二答案
1.
| Topic | China | Brazil |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Greetings | People usually shake hands when meeting for the first time; close friends may nod or wave to greet each other in daily life. | People often give two light kisses on the cheek (one on each side) as a common greeting, even for people they meet for the first time; physical contact during greetings is very natural. |
| Gift-giving | Giving clocks, umbrellas or pears is considered improper; people usually receive gifts with both hands and open them later after the guest leaves. | Gifts like handkerchiefs are seen as unlucky, for they are related to sad occasions; people usually open the gift right away in front of the giver and express their sincere praise. |
| Table manners | People use chopsticks as the main tableware, and it is impolite to stick chopsticks vertically into the bowl of rice; we usually prepare serving chopsticks for others to share dishes. | People eat most dishes with knives and forks; it is acceptable to bring small amounts of food to the plate with hands in casual meals, and making a soft burp after meals is not seen as rude. |
2. （以选择“拜访他人”主题为例）
- Similarity: In both China and Brazil, it is polite to bring a small proper gift when you are invited to visit others' home, to show your thanks to the host.
- Difference: In China, you are supposed to arrive at the host's home a few minutes earlier, and it is very impolite to be late without telling the host in advance. But in Brazil, being 10 to 15 minutes late for a visiting is a very common situation, and local people even think arriving too early will make the host feel pressured.
