From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and
fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when
to sit and the way to introduce people.
     Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere
eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)
it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when
they are taking food.
      Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福). They do it to show that they want a
sick person to get well or to bless a newborn baby. In most other places, spitting means something
completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries, it may mean that you hate
someone.
     When we go to visit someone we say "Hello!"Or"How are you?" or things like that. But if you are
visiting an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you. The polite thing
there will be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should
wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
     In a village in Arab, a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If
he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

     We often make a handshake in business and in life in China．It often takes place when you meet
someone new and when you leave a party or a meeting．
     People are supposed to shake hands in many countries．But every country has its own custom of
shaking hands, so you need to know something about another country's handshaking custom before you
visit it．
     Here are some of the most usual handshaking customs around the world:
★In England you shake hands whenever you meet someone, even if you know them well．
★Russians shake hands often．However, they never shake hands while wearing gloves．
★A strong handshake and holding hands closely are signs of welcome in South Africa．
★Men in Arabian cultures prefer a long handshake．At the same time, they will say a few words to
greet the other person．
★The French always shake hands in business meetings．In social situations, they kiss each other on the
face．
★People in India and Pakistan shake hands by holding your hand in both their hands．
     It is considered impolite to refuse to shake hands with someone.But don't worry if someone refuses
to shake hands with you, because there may be some special reasons．For example, maybe they have a
cold or don't feel very well．A person that is unable to shake hands should always say sorry and explain
for it so that the other person does not feel unhappy．
