Question

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。 　　Handshaking,though a European practise,is now often seen in big cities of China．Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe．It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met,they showed their unarmed（无武器的）hands to each other as a sign of goodwill．As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly,people in cities began to clap each other's hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement．This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other．“Let's shake(hands)on it”sometims means agreement reached． 　　Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet?No．Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite．It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party,especially when it is a woman,shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her．Even if,for politeness,he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand,just touch it slightly．There is generally a misunderstanding（误解）among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straight forward,while the Chinese are rather reserved（保守）in manner．But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today．So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you． (1) In the old days in Europe,people put out their unarmed hands to each other ________ [　　] A． to make a deal B． to greet each other C． to show friendliness D． to reach an agreement (2) The first paragraph mainly tells us． [　　] A． where handshaking was first practised B． how handshaking came about C． about the relationship between handshaking and trade D． about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China (3) According to the text,which of the following statements is true?
