READING COMPREHENSION: 1. READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT ABOUT SOME CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD. DIVERSITY The culture of a place is an integral part of its society whether that place is a remote village in Brazil or a highly industrialized city in Europe.

Arabian men kiss each other on the cheek when they meet. On the other hand, teenagers in the U.S.A. leave home when they finish high school. They think that to live with their parents is unconventional. You might think that a driving system in which people left on the right is impossible; but the citizens of fiftynine places all over the world do it. This custom is from countries like Hong-Kong, Jamaica, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, United Kingdom and others. If you are an immigrant in Indonesia and want to marry a woman, don´t be impolite!
