Handshakes work in most situations. Asians may give a “wet fish handshake” and avoid
eye-contact, which Westerners take as a sign of weak character. A pat on the back or a
hug can be OK in Latin America, while in the Middle East people often stand close to
someone while talking. Arabs see this as a sign of friendliness, but to outsiders it can
appear aggressive. Whereas there is no rigid protocol governing the exchange of
business cards in the West, Asians regard them as indispensable.(20 分)
Taiwanese people now have another reason to drink tea. A recent study has shown that
drinking black tea suppresses the growth of cavity-causing microbes. Consuming the
beverage also helps reduce dental plaque, which is one of the main causes of
periodontal disease. This means that sipping a cup or two of black tea between meals
will help you fight cavities and reduce your chances of developing gum disease. But
you have to avoid adding sugar or honey to your drink if you’re serious about
improving your oral health.(20 分)
