五、阅读理解
For centuries, China has been known as "a
state of ceremonies", which means Liyi Zhibang.
There was much greeting etiquette in ancient
China. And the fist-and-palm salute(拱手礼) was
quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese
people usually shake hands when meeting friends
and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm
salutes when they are paying a visit to someone
during the Spring Festival or attending someone's
wedding or birthday party.
The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more
than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty,
people had already performed it when meeting
peers. In ancient times, if people met a stranger,
they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their
hands were always ready for holding any weapons.
By clasping(紧握) their hands in front of their
chest, people signaled, "I have no weapons and
mean no harm." Later, it became the etiquette when
people met each other or showed thanks.
So, how should people do the fist-and-palm
salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If
you're a man, make a half fist(拳) with your right
hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand
in front of your chest, look at the person, raise
both hands to the eyebrow, bend down and shake
hands gently three times. At the same time, you
can also say some lucky greeting words. If you're a
woman, you should do it the other way—the right
hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold-fist
salute, called Baoquan Li in Chinese. It is widely
used among the kung fu masters and students. This
gesture is formed by holding the right fist very
tightly closed and covering it with the left hand
open, and extending both arms a little forward in
front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb(拇
指) is close to the index finger(食指) and don't
point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.
1. What does the underlined word "etiquette" in
Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Need. B. Manners.
C. Time. D. Groups.
2. Which picture shows the correct way for
women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
3. If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he
should
A. keep his right hand open
B. put his right hand on his left
C. not point his left thumb at himself
D. not hold out his arms

with your right hand, then hold the right hand with
your left hand in front of your chest... If you're a
woman, you should do it the other way—the right
hand on the top."可知,女士做拱手礼时应该用
左手握半拳,然后将右手放在胸前握住左手。
3. C 提示:细节理解题。根据最后一段中
"Make sure the left thumb is close to the index
finger and don't point it at yourself, as it shows
impoliteness."可知,做抱拳礼时,左手拇指应
靠近食指,但不要指向自己。
