Greetings in Asian countries don't include __11__ the other person, but they always include the hands. Traditionally in China, when we greet someone, we put the right __12__ over the left and bow slightly. Muslims give a "salaam" (穆斯林的额手礼), where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead. Indians join their hands and bow their heads with __13__. In these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a weapon.
Even today, when some people have __14__ styles of greeting, they still use their hands as a gesture of trust. American youths often greet each other with the __15__, "Give me five!" One person then __16__ his hand, palm(手掌) outwards and five fingers spread. The other person raises his hand and slaps the other's __17__ hand above the head in a "high five". Nowadays, it is quite a common greeting.
Body language is __18__ and attractive for anyone to study. Some people may __19__themselves much more by their gestures than by their __20__. Look at your friends and family and see if you are a mindreader!
