But they shake hands after they havent met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time. Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.【记一记】 Words:1.shake / / vt. 摇，晃2. hardly / / adv. 几乎不3. both / / pron. . 两者Expressions:1.for the first time. 第一次，首次2. shake hands with sb. 与握手3. in front of 在的前方（外部）4. get ready to 准备好Sentences:1.

This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and dont always shake hands. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello” rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a formal handshake someplace else. Similarly, Americans do not usually give a special farewell(告辞) or handshake to each person when they leave a party of business meeting. They will often just wave goodbye to the whole group or perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, Ill see you tomorrow.” They then will leave. No handshakes. Americans seem either totally(完全地) hurried and hardworking or totally informal and at ease. Often youll see men working at office desks without their suit coats and ties. They may lean far back in their chairs and even put their feet up on the desks while they are talking on the telephone. This does not mean to be rude. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and informal. 【记一记】 Words:1. respect / / n. 尊重2. similarly / / adv. 类似地，相似地3. special / / adj. 特别的4. informal / / adj. 非正式的5. lean / / vi. 倾斜，倚靠Expressions:1. at ease 安逸，休闲自在2. rather than 而不是，宁可也不愿3. wave goodbye to 向挥手告别Sentences:1. It is good to remember that to an American such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a formal handshake someplace else. 最好记住对美国人而言，如此不正式的一次问候就同在什么地方一次正式的握手一样。2. Americans seem either totally(完全地) hurried and hardworking or totally informal and at ease. 美国人似乎要么特别急急忙忙，认真工作，要么特别不正式，休闲自在。【练一练】根据所读文章选择正确答案( )1.

Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss their husband or wife or the persons they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home. They drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight to welcome the New Year.Some people drink too much wine at New Years Eve celebrations. This can lead to terrible results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council (委员会) says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday.These years, people begin to realize the danger of accidents and start a new activity called the “designated driver”. One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Years Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home. Many American cities also offer free service on New Years Eve to take people home safely.Other Americans celebrate the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol. More than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston, Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations in theatres or museums in 1976.

For example, church weddings, civil weddings, weddings on mountain tops. But no matter where or how people hold their weddings, there are certain traditional customs. From early Roman time on, June has been a popular month for weddings. Some people even think June was named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. A woman will be engaged to(订婚) a man before theyve become couple. The man will give the woman an engagement ring as a token(信物) of their agreement to marry. Today, two young people decide to marry by themselves, and then they tell their parents about it. Usually they may announce it in local newspapers. Invitations will be mailed three or four weeks before the wedding. People who receive an invitation will think it an honor (荣誉). Traditional wedding suit for the bride is a long white dress.
