问题     Each culture has its own form of acceptable greeting behavior, usually based on the level of formality found within the society. The rules of social distance etiquette (礼节) vary by culture. Africans, for example, are far less【C1】______ in their greetings than Europeans. Expect a【C2】______ physical greeting, an extended handshake or a hand on the shoulder in most African cultures. Also expect to be【C3】______ how your trip was and how your family is doing. The tradition of long greetings stems【C4】______ the time when Africans once walked miles to visit neighboring villages on social calls. The arrival and a gushing (说话滔滔不绝的)’greeting was considered the【C5】______  a villager could do for a【C6】______ . Don’t be impatient with such a long drawn-out(冗长乏味的)【C7】______ and don’t hurry things along. Rather, get into the spirit and【C8】______ that the person you came to see is prepared to take the time to sincerely【C9】______ about your welfare.
    In Argentina, greetings are usually effusive with plenty of hugging and【C10】______ , not unlike the French faire la bise (kiss on both cheeks). This is even the【C11】______ in business meetings, unless they are【C12】______ a highly formal nature. In Argentina, men kiss women, women kiss women,【C13】______ men do not kiss men. By【C14】______ the Chinese way of greeting shuns(回避) the physical. It is【C15】______ a nod or a slight bow.【C16】______ , when dealing with individuals from cultures where more direct physical contact is the norm, e. g. , a handshake, the Chinese will【C17】______ and shake hands.  Don’t interpret a soft handshake or lack of eye contact【C18】______ a sign of weakness or lack of【C19】______ . It simply means that your Chinese colleague is not overly【C20】______ to physical contact when greeting a stranger. [br] 【C1】
选项 A、structured
B、indulged
C、involved
D、occupied
答案 A
解析 下文提到，非洲人在与对方问候时喜欢身体发生接触，还喜欢滔滔不绝地说一些“你家里人还好吗?”之类的冗长乏味的客套话。由此可见，选A最合适，指非洲人在说问候的话时比欧洲人更缺乏条理性。
