IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to

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
more practical purposes.
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 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 Seas islands greet by rubbing noses.
Note: clasp (v): nắm chặt, siết chột.
Ngày nay, ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, mọi người thường bắt tay khi gặp nhau như cử chỉ
thiện chí. Tuy nhiên, ban đầu, việc thực hành bắt tay có mục đích thực tế hơn. Bắt tay bắt
nguồn từ thời trung cổ. Trong những ngày đó, khi một người đàn ông đến với một người
lạ, anh ta thường tự động với lấy thanh kiếm của mình bằng tay phải, trong trường hợp
anh ta phải sử dụng vũ khí để tự vệ. Đôi khi, cả hai bên thấy mình vòng quanh nhau, vũ
khí trong tay, cho đến khi được đồng ý lẫn nhau rằng vũ khí có thể được đặt sang một
bên. Sau đó, hai bên mở rộng tay phải để cho thấy họ không có vũ khí, và siết chặt họ.
Đây là khởi đầu của cái bắt tay. Phong tục bắt tay không phải là một phong tục phổ biến.
Theo phương Đông, trong nhiều thế kỷ, người ta đã siết chặt mình trước mặt họ khi gặp
nhau để cho thấy rằng họ không có vũ khí. Ở Pháp, một phong tục được phát triển trong
đó những người gặp nhau sẽ hôn nhau trên cả hai má. Người bản địa của một số hòn đảo
Biển Nam chào đón bằng cách cọ xát mũi.
