A handshake is a brief greeting tradition. It is common all over the world. Most countries use
handshakes. Using the right hand is generally considered the proper manner. Different cultures
may be more or less likely to shake hands, or there may be different customs about how to shake
hands.
There are different customs about handshakes, both general and specific to certain cultures. The
handshake is commonly done upon meeting, greeting, parting, offering congratulations,
expressing thankfulness, or completing an agreement. In sports or other competitive activities, it is
also done as a sign of good sportsmanship. If a person shakes hands with a player, he wants to
show that he trusts and respects the player. If a handshake is done to form an agreement, the
agreement is not official until the hands are parted.
Usually a handshake is made with bare (空的) hands unless health issues or local customs
require. However, it depends on the situation.
In Russia, a handshake is performed by men and seldom performed by women.
In Switzerland, it may be expected to shake the women’s hands first.
Austrians shake hands when meeting, often including meeting with children.
In some areas such as Turkey or the Arabicspeaking Middle East, handshakes aren’t so often
used as they are in the West. Hand shaking between men and women isn’t encouraged in the
Arabic world. You should only use your right hand as well.
()36. What does the underlined word “common” mean?
A. Growing older. B. Becoming cheaper.

Do you know how much mobile phones affect (影响) a family? According to a new study, almost
half of Chinese parents play with their mobile phones when they are talking with their children.
4,170 students took part in the study. It found that 8 percent of parents often played with their
mobile phones when talking with their children and it made their children unhappy with them. 40
percent of parents sometimes picked up their phones when talking with their children.
According to the study, more than 40 percent of children said their parents didn’t listen to them
carefully while they were talking. Usually, the top five topics in the parent-student talk are study,
things about school, interests and hobbies, friends and the child’s future. As parents, they should
think about these topics carefully because all of them have to do with their children’s life.

between parents and children changeda lot and the use of electronic devices (电子设备) became
one of the biggest problems between them. “Children have to use the Internet to talk to others
when they don’t have enough communication with their parents,” she said. “Parents should be
kind and fair to their children, listen to them as much as possible, try to understand what they are
thinking and look at them while talking to them.”
