The Phone Call

wouldn't be much fun playing 1 in the dark. Paul walked into his room and

play baseball with you tonight. I have to finish my work at the office. Maybe we can
play this weekend. Oh no. How about next weekend? ...”

Whenever you 8 our plans, Dad, it hurts me. It's not too late to rebuild our

二、阅读理解(20 分)
A
(2020· 河 南 郑 州 巩 义 检 测 )Different countries have different customs.
Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. When two
people meet for the first time, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of
greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It's a way to
show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite teams shake hands
before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don't shake hands
when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet
each other, they might only wave, or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi(碰鼻礼)”. In
the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额) together and close
their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori(毛利人), who were the
first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press
their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries,
important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss
these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they
sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members
bow to each other. How low to bow depends on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a
quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the
people they are greeting understand them.
