“hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands when they meet for the first time. Social kissing or a kiss on the cheek is common between men and
women and between women who know each other very well.
The Hebrew greeting is “shalom.” The French greeting is “bonjour.” The Spanish greeting in “hola” and the Zulu say “sawubona” when greeting friends.
In New Zealand people are often greeted by the Maori leaders with the traditional “Hongi” by rubbing noses.
When a younger person says hello to an older person in the Philippines, the younger person will bow and hold the right hand of the older person and press the
knuckles against their forehead. When the knuckles are touching the forehead they say “Mano”(means hand) and “Po”(means respect.)
In Japan the common greeting for men and women is to bow when they meet someone. The deeper the bow, the greater level of respect in shown.
In Arab countries, close male friends or colleagues hug and kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with the right hand only, longer but less firmly than in the
western world. Contact and hand shaking between men and women in public is considered rude.
Hungarians use the friendly greeting of kissing each other on the cheeks. The most common way to kiss is from your right to your left. When men meet for the
first time they give a firm handshake.
In Belgium people kiss on one cheek when they meet.
The Chinese when meeting someone for the first time usually nod their head and smile or shake hands if in a formal business situation.

may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.
In Armenia, a woman needs to wait for the man to offer his hand for the handshake. Between good friends and family members, a kiss on the cheek and a light
hug are also common.

Woman: Hi, good evening. It's my honor to be here to share my knowledge with everybody.
Man: So, professor, I wonder if all the Arabs speak the same language, Arabic, just like people living in the North America all speak English.
Woman: It is generally thought that Arabic is a single language, spoken, written and understood by people in countries as widely separated as Iraq, Egypt and Morocco, but this is not so. It is only written Arabic (that is, the Classical Arabic of the Koran and the Modem Arabic of contemporary literature, journalism and broadcasting), that is more or less common to the whole of the Arab world. The colloquial Arabic, which is spoken in the different Arab societies today, differs as widely between Arab countries as do Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
Man: That's surprising! So you mean all the Arabs from different countries can understand others' written language, but not the spoken language？
Woman: You are partly right. In the Arab world, written Arabic acts as a kind of Esperanto, providing a means of communication between educated people of different Arab nationalities. Written Arabic is, paradoxically, spoken too: on the radio and television, in public speeches, as well as between Arabs from different countries. We could call it pan Arabic. It is used in rather the same way as Latin was used by educated people in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Man: It seems as if there are a lot of differences between written Arabic and colloquial Arabic. Shall we say that they belong to one language？
Woman: It's a little complicated to explain. As we all know, even in English, of course, there are differences of grammar and vocabulary between the written and spoken language, but this difference is far less than that between the artificial pan-Arabic and the living colloquial language of any Arab country. Moreover, both written and spoken English are recognized in English-speaking countries as belonging to one living language, and both are taught in schools. Colloquial Arabic, on the other hand, is not regarded by the people who speak it as "proper" Arabic. Unlike colloquial English, it is not taught in schools, and it is not written; indeed, there is a strong feeling in Arab societies that it should not be used in a written form.
Man: So what language, pan-Arabic or colloquial Arabic, does an Arab, say, an Egyptian, use mainly in his everyday life？
Woman: An educated Egyptian uses pan-Arabic to talk to equally educated Iraqis, Saudis and Moroccans. No reasonable man, however, wishes to talk like a book or a newspaper, and the language that the same educated Egyptian uses with his family and with other Egyptians is quite different. This language is wholly Egyptian, and it is only spoken.
Questions:
11.What mistaken view do most people hold about Arabic？
12.According to the talk, which language is more or less common to the whole of the Arab world？
13.How is pan-Arabic similar to Esperanto？

B．That Arabic is just one language that all Arabs understand, speak and write.
C．That classical Arabic and Modern Arabic are two different kinds of written Arabic.

A．raised
B．broken
C．solved
D．concluded
A．unannounced
B．unannouncing

听力原文： Iraq has signed a free-trade agreement with three other Arab countries at the conclusion of an Arab Economic Union meeting in Baghdad, the first there since 1991.
The accord was signed Thursday by trade ministers from Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Libya. Officials say the free trade agreement is the first step towards establishing a common Arab market. Iraq is still under United Nations economic sanctions imposed after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Earlier this year, Iraq signed bilateral free trade agree-merits with Egypt and Syria.
Reuters news agency reports Iraq's imports from Arab nations makes up 50 percent of Baghdad's annual trade.
When was the free trade agreement assigned？
A．Tuesday.
B．Monday.
C．Thursday.
D．Friday.
The "conference visit" is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.
Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness(含糊) in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.
Patience is an important quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high-level government officials as they are very busy. Give yourself enough time.
