三、阅读理解
In the USA, it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are informal (非正式的)—a handshake, a smile and a "hello" will do just fine.
The British often simply say "hello" when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck (轻吻) on the cheek, is common in an informal situation between men and women who know each other very well.
In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.
Hungarians(匈牙利人) like to greet others in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.
In Albania, men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may be also common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.

【分析】
这是一篇介绍不同国家问候礼仪的说明类阅读理解，解题时可以先通读题干明确各题考点，再带着问题回原文精准定位对应内容：细节类题目直接找到原文对应语句比对选项，词义猜测题结合上下文语境推断单词含义，指代题往前查找段落核心描述对象，正误判断题逐个将选项和原文内容比对排除错误项，主旨大意题梳理全文核心论述内容选出最贴合的标题，所有判断都要依托原文内容，避免主观臆断。
【解析】
1. 细节定位题：定位到原文第二段第二句“The British often simply say "hello" when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time.”，可知英国人初次见面通常会握手，对应选项C。
2. 词义猜测题：划线词所在句为第四段最后一句“When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm.”，前文提到匈牙利人日常问候常用亲双颊的方式，转折后说明男性初次见面时，握手是约定俗成的做法，可推断norm的中文含义为“规范”，对应选项A。
3. 代词指代题：第三段开篇点明描述对象是日本的问候礼仪“In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone”，可知这里的they指代前文提到的日本人，对应选项B。
4. 细节正误判断题：
选项A：根据第三段“instead of giving a handshake or a hug”可知日本并不常用拥抱的问候方式，“拥抱和鞠躬一样常见”表述错误；
选项B：根据第四段“The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left”可知匈牙利人贴面礼是从右到左，“从左到右”表述错误；
选项C：根据第五段“A kiss on the cheek may be also common if there is a close relationship”可知阿尔巴尼亚关系亲密的男性之间也会亲脸颊，“男性即便关系亲密也不会亲吻”表述错误；
选项D：根据最后一段“a man needs to wait for a woman to offer her hand for a handshake”可知亚美尼亚男性需要等女性先伸手再握手，表述和原文一致，正确。
因此本题选D。
5. 主旨大意题：全文分别介绍了美国、英国、日本、匈牙利等多个国家各不相同的问候习俗，核心内容围绕不同地区的问候礼仪展开，因此最贴合的标题是“Greeting Customs Around the World”，对应选项C。
