Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the car were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be different.The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.He likes the feeling of being the same.Mr Perkin parked(停車) his car in a big car-park(停車場) near his office, and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped. Time went by.Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow.Beta 400s in the car-park. After he got back home, he felt frustrated and thought to himself that maybe being different is not so bad.

根據(jù)短文后所給的任務(wù),完成71~75小題。

When two people meet, there are a lot A ways of greeting. But the ways of greeting are not always the B in different countries.

Two people usually greet each other with a handshake in America. ①the, a, person, to, way, respect, it, to, other, show, is. Players from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave(揮手), or maybe just nod their heads.

There is a special way of greeting called “Hongi(鼻觸禮)” in New Zealand. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前額) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori(毛利人), who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.

People bow to each other every time when they meet in Japan. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.

Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
