Answer 1

答案：A
解析：

People in different countries behave differently. What is polite behavior or good manner in one country may not be peIite in another. Take greeting for example. People use various kinds of methods to express greetings. Americans usually greet each other by saying Hi, Hello, Good morning, etc. Chinese, on the other hand, usually greet each other by saying How are you? or sometimes Have you eaten or Where are you going? However, these greetings would be considered impolite by Americans. They do not want to answer such questions. In Italy or southern France, a man will greet a woman by kissing her on the back of her hand or on both cheeks. The Eskimos of northern North America, however, rub noses when they meet. But in China and some other parts of Asia kissing or touching on meeting someone is often strange. 　　   To take another national difference as example, belching during a meal in America is considered very rude behavior. While in parts of China, India and the Arab World, belching is a way of telling your host that you are enjoying your meal. 　　   There are so many cultural differences. Then what principles of polite behavior should we follow? The best guide to our actions would be: When in Rome, do as Romans do. 识别独白的主题及目的。
