问题【B1】________
One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages. For this reason, there is a current boom(兴起)in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing.

【B2】________
But actions speak louder than words, and psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’ s first name, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous (有危险的) for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures.
【B3】________
Cultures can be divided into " low context" and " high context". In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal (口头的) communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking.
【B4】________
Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems. In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly—but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing.
【B5】________
People from "low context" cultures tend to look into other people’s eyes, but in "high context" cultures such as the Chinese and the Japanese, this can be interpreted as aggressive(攻击性的) behaviour. As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea. For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands!
