However, we
43、 will try to introduce you to some of the more important cultural differences. Personal Space When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary (界限 ) around their body into which other people may not come. Interestingly， the average
44、 personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are “in their face” and will try to back away. Try to avoid physical contact w
45、hile you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Tipping(小费 ) Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15% of the total bill. If service is slow or particular bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. If service is particularly good, it is appr
46、opriate to tip 20%. If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. It tells the waiter that you havent forgotten to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service. You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant. Gesture

Waving the hand front to back or the fingers up and down means “no”, “stop”, or “go away. Holding your hand up with the palm facing forward but no movem
48、ent means “stop”. If you want to point at an object, extend the index finger and use it to point at the object. It is not polite to point at people. Although showing your fist with the thumb up or your open hand with the tips of the thumb and index finger together forming an “O” means “OK”， these are stereotypes (老套 ). Americans understand these gestures, but the
