No more kisses
Lean(倾斜身体)forward, touch cheeks and make a kissing sound. This is the French way of greeting. But when facing the virus, too many kisses are not good. France has suggested that people should not kiss each other on the cheeks. French etiquette expert Philippe Lichtfus gives everyone in France a suggestion: simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting.
Wink at others
Like the French, Italians often hug or kiss each other when greeting. Recently, an Italian woman made a video to help everyone fight the disease. According to her, if you want to say hello to others, do not hug or kiss. Instead, you can wink at them with one eye. It's a cute way of greeting.
Pat(轻拍)on the back
It's a very Australian thing to shake hands, Bu if you do this during the epidemic, the virus can jump from one person to another. A health official in Australia named Brad Hazard said a pat on the back might be better. But it might not be a proper greeting for everyone. For example. it's a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher. What do you think?
Tapping feet together
There is a new way to greet others that is now popular in Iran, according to a popular video. In the video, three Iranian men meet and tap their feet together. They wear masks and put their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we cannot shake hands, why not try to "shake" feet? There is a similar video from Lebanon.

5 . Good advice can help people make better decisions(决定). When someone asks you for advice, you should take it seriously and try your best to give good advice. Sometimes you should remember what your mother taught you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, because bad advice may have terrible results. There are some ways for you to give advice.
☆Listen to the person asking you for advice. Every situation(情况) is special, so never think you know all about a problem. Listen to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about the situation.
☆Put yourself in others' shoes. Think about what you will do if you are in the same situation. Don't just depend on(依赖) your experiences to give advice.
☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, think twice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.

Live with it, and let the person live with his or her decision.

6 . Why do many Chinese people refuse to cut their hair during the first month of the lunar year?
This is because people believe that getting a haircut during the first lunar month is not a good idea. Tradition says that doing so will cause your mother's brothers to die. Although it's not true, some people still believe it.
So, after a month's wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day —the second day of the second lunar month. It was once tradition to line up outside of barber shops on this day.
Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall would increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring and farming.
A well-known phrase (俗语) goes, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.” Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names". People call noodles dragon's beard . Dumplings are dragon's ears and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon's scales (龙鳞).
