Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture of good will Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had a more practical purpose

Shaking hands originated in medieval times In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside Then, the two parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons, and clasped them This was the beginning of the handshake

The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks The natives of some South-sea islands greet by rubbing noses

Question 28: At first, the purpose of shaking hands was A to show a good relationship with each other B to show that there were no weapons in hands

C to show that both parties were ready for a fight D a gesture of good will

Question 29: To show that one has no intention to fight, A shaking hands has been practiced all over the world B the oriental people kiss each other’s hand

C people laid aside their weapons

D there have been various ways depending on different cultures

Question 30: According to the passage,the practice of shaking hands A was used to extend greetings

B used to be popular, but now it is out of date C is replaced by other customs in some countries D is considered not to be very polite

Question 31: The word “came on” in the second paragraph can best be replaced by A waited for B visited C attacked D happened to meet Question 32: Which of the following is NOT true about the handshake?

A It happened for the first time very long times ago B It is a gesture of good will

C It is very popular all over the world D It is one of the social customs
