问题     The most important thing when honoring guests from foreign countries is to accept and understand the differences. Here are some of the differences that people have in their different cultures.
    In the United States, Britain and most Western countries, men should remove their hats (including baseball caps) when attending church services, at funerals and during the singing of the national anthem. A gentleman never wears a hat inside a building, and a guest who walks into someone’s home wearing a hat is considered a buffoon whose parents did a bad job of educating their offspring——for it rarely rains inside a house!
    The French are not rude, but they do not like smiles. They just believe that anyone who smiles a lot is an idiot. If you want to relate to the French, smile with your eyes, do not grin with your mouth.
    Do not bring wine to dinner at the home of a French person; such an act is thought to show a lack of confidence in the host’s wine choice. Flowers are more appreciated.
    In Germany a gentleman stands behind a lady on an escalator going up, and in front of her on an escalator going down just in case she falls down.
    The gesture that many Americans think to be universal to indicate "OK" or "I agree", or "Great" which is a hand sign that employs the fingers spread with the tips of thumb and index finger forming a circle, is an obscene gesture in many countries, notably Brazil and Southern Europe.  [br] In Brazil, the gesture "OK" is seen as ______.
选项 A、great
B、obscene
C、wonderful
D、all right
答案 B
解析 细节题。本题问的是在巴西，OK的手势会被认为怎么样．这一点在文章最后一段最后一句话“... is an obscene gesture in many countries，notably Brazil and Southern Europe．”因此选项B为正确答案。
