四、阅读理解。
新素养 文化意识 ① In the world, what people in different places are supposed to do isn't always the same. Something that seems common to you may seem strange to others. Here are some surprising examples.
② People in Malaysia use their thumb(拇指) to point. In many cultures, people probably think that pointing with a finger isn't very nice. However, in some countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, it is considered much more polite to point with the thumb.
③ Nigerians kneel(跪下) when greeting others. A group of people in Nigeria takes greeting manners seriously, especially with their elders. When an adult comes, it is common for young people to greet him or her by dropping to their knees. Women kneel, and men prostrate(拜倒) themselves. This traditional custom is a sign of respect for the elders.
④ The Japanese enjoy slurping. Most cultures have rules about table manners. In western countries, making noise while eating food is usually considered impolite. However, in Japan, making slurping sounds while eating noodles can be accepted. This probably has something to do with the way noodles are eaten. The Japanese slurp up their noodles without winding them around an eating tool. This way of noodle eating is naturally noisier. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan shows that you're enjoying them.
