Kiss crisis, hug horrors and the UK's handshake headaches
Greeting someone, saying goodbye — these situations fill me with unease. You have a second to make a dangerous decision. One peck (轻吻)? Two pecks? Three? No kisses at all? Why, I think, as I crash into the other person’s face, why can’t it be as simple as a handshake?
A survey by the soap company Redox in May showed one in five Brits now feels a handshake is “too formal”, according to the Daily Mail. Some 42 percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends. For one third of people the alternative was a hug, for 16 percent a kiss on the cheek.
British people are known to be reserved (保守的) — unfriendly, some would say. Handshakes used to work for us because we didn’t have to get too close. But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable. We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs.
The trouble is, we still find it a bit awkward. What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend, for example? How should someone younger greet someone older?
Guys don’t tend to kiss one another; my male friends in Britain go for the “manly hug”, taking each other stiffly (不自然地) in one arm and giving a few thumps on the back with words like “Take it easy, yeah?”.
The biggest questions, if you do decide to kiss, are how many times and which cheek first. Unlike the French, who comfortably deliver three, our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling (咯咯笑): “Oh, gosh, sorry, I didn’t mean to kiss you on the lips, I never know where to aim for first!”
But then it’s never been easy for us poor, uncomfortable Brits. Even the handshake had its problems: don’t shake too hard, but don’t hold the other person’s hand too limply (无力地) either, and definitely don’t go in with sweaty hands.
Maybe it’s better to leave it at a smile and a nod.
【1】What is the article mainly about?
A. Origin of the traditional British way of greeting someone.
B. New trends and problems that Brits have with the way they greet people.
C. Why the author feels uneasy when greeting someone or saying goodbye.
D. Differences in greetings between Britain and other Western countries.
【2】What did the survey by the soap company Redox show?
A. It is now considered unfriendly to greet friends with a handshake in Britain.
B. A kiss on the cheek is becoming the most popular form of greeting in Britain.
C. Most Brits no longer offer to shake hands with those they meet.
D. More and more Brits prefer to be greeted with a hug or kiss.
【3】The underlined word “awkward” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. not helpful
B. too informal
C. quite embarrassed
D. very interesting
【4】Which does the author think might be the safest form of greeting for a British person?
A. A hug.
B. A smile and a nod.
C. A handshake.
D. A kiss on the cheek.

Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
Start With Your Interest. 【1】 . You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial (武术) arts, computers, or fashion design. You name it, there are books about it.
What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 【2】 . Many of them read like novels from start to finish.
Read the description. The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book. 【3】 .
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 【4】 . Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book. 【5】 . You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!
A. How about your brothers and sisters?
B. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.
D. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate (全神贯注) on it.
E. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.
F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
G. Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.

How to Keep a Healthy and Strong Relationship
Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
1 Do not hide things from them and do not lie. Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust, there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.
Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating her or him nicely. There’s a lot more about it. You have to learn to adjust to their liking. 2 Don’t just think about yourself; think about what your partner needs as well.
3 Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positivity at the same time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. Your partner has to be able to count on you when needed.
Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 4
Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicate how you feel, even if it’s something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them. 5 It’s important to communicate with them. Don’t keep it bottled up.
A. Show them your personality.
B. Be an honest person with them.
C. Make sure you are reliable to your partner.
D. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
E. Don’t start to neglect them and make them feel unwanted.
