五、读写综合。
(一) 回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题。
There are lots of cultural differences between China and Western countries. When it comes to greetings, in Western countries, people often hug or kiss on the cheek when they meet. But in China, especially in formal situations, a simple handshake is more common. In daily life, people might just nod and smile at each other.
Gift-giving also shows differences between Chinese and Western cultures. In the West, when receiving a gift, people usually open it right away in front of the giver and express their thanks immediately. However, in China, people usually put it away first and open it later, which shows modesty.
Table manners are another area with differences. In Western countries, people use forks and knives to eat. They hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. In China, chopsticks are the main eating tools. When using chopsticks, you shouldn't stick them upright in a rice bowl, because it is connected with funerals.
Moreover, in China, respecting and caring about the elderly is highly praised. Young people should give their seats to the elderly on buses and subways. When having a meal, the elders are usually served first. In Western countries, people respect old people too, but they don't have as many rules as in China.
1. What is the common way of greeting in formal situations in China?

2. What do Western people do when receiving a gift?
