When you have to meet someone from a different culture, be prepared. If you understand cultural differences, you’ll be a better【11】—even before you open your mouth!
In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are introduced to someone【12】. Standing up shows politeness and respect. After that, someone will usually "offer to shake hands. But in the East,【13】introductions often begin and end with bowing rather than shaking hands.
Now, let’s look at the simple introduction of shaking hands. Americans like a【14】handshake. But the French【15】a light, short handshake. If you shake a Frenchman’s hand the American way, he may think you’re【16】.
People in Eastern European countries and some Latino cultures prefer shorter handshakes, too. Hugging after shaking hands is also a common introduction. Don’t be scared or【17】if you meet someone in Brazil and he gives you a hug. If you【18】this gesture, your friendship may not start well!
The proper customs for eye contact vary between cultures, too. Westerners appreciate regular eye contact during conversations. Refusing to look a Westerner in the eye may be understood as lack of trust, or maybe【19】. But in some African countries, too much eye contact can offend or sometimes have romantic meanings.

选项
答案
E
解析
此处应为动词原形,作谓语。本句中的but表明句中提到的法国人的握手方式与上句提到的美国人喜欢的握手方式不相同,由此可推断,空白处的动词应与上句动词like意思相近,因此prefer为正确答案。
