 As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to 
make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some tips are certainly in order. If you are married, it 
is a good idea to encourage your husband and children 5 to learn to cook few simple meals while you are 
way. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a 
good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also 
find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get 
better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs 
as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully 
packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy 15 for dirty clothes, as 
well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a 
briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you

Choose the word or phrase ( A, B , C or D) that best fits each space in the following passage. 
 One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one another. 
There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common handshake to other 
strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple action of greeting someone 
differs greatly from place to place. 
 In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm. The handshake 
has an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that you weren’t carrying a weapon. 
Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are 
also common in other parts of the world, including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s 
hands very strongly during the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each 
other. However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press their 
 9 Truy cập trang  để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh – Sử 
- Địa – GDCD tốt nhất! 
noses together in a sign of trust and closeness. 
 In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common when two 
people meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of times varies depending 
on the particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss each other (but not a woman) on the 
cheek. Men will also shake hands with other men there. In some Eastern countries, including Korea and 
Japan, bowing is the traditional greeting. In Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The 
strangest custom, though, is likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others. 
1. What is this reading mainly about ?

B. The origins and histories of various greetings 
C. The strangest types of greetings on Earth. D. The wide range of greeting customs in the world 
2. Which of the following sentence is TRUE ?

varies 
C. In the past, people nodded If they weren’t carrying 
a 
 weapon 
D. You shouldn’t look at people when shaking their 
 hands in the United States 
 3. How do most people in New Zealand greet each other ? - ....................................................... 
A. With a handshake B. By pressing noses together 
C. With a kiss on the cheek D. By sticking cut their tongue 
4. Which type of country is NOT mentioned in the reading ? 
A. A North American country B. A European country 
C. A South American country D. An Asean country 
5. What can be inferred about getting customs in Saudi Arabia ? 
A. Men shake hands with women when meeting them for the first time
