小题1:G 根据前句they may still be different from your home country.可知这些地方的人和家乡的不一样，使用我们要注意自己的行为不要冒犯对方。故G项正确。
小题2:C 根据本段If you don not know the word for something in local language, or can not make yourself understood verbally, try drawing a picture, or pointing to an object.可知不要用语言来表述自己的意思，要靠文字或者图片。故C项符合上下文。
小题3:D 根据前句Avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive.可知要避免一些你认为敏感的话题，因为在其他的文化中可能这样的话题也很敏感。故D项符合上下文。
小题4:A 根据下句Kissing on the street or in public places is unacceptable behavior and should be avoided.可知当众接吻在一些地方是不能接受的。可知在一些文化中公开表达自己的情感可能是禁忌。故A项符合上下文。
小题5:E 根据下句One of the easiest ways to offend somebody is to give the wrong gift.可知如果我们给错了礼物这是很禁忌的事情。也就是说在不同国家里对于好的礼物的理解是不一样的。
