96- The passage is most likely to continue with ---------------.
  1. an explanation of why Steve McCurry agreed to go to Pakistan a second time
  2. reasons why Sharbat Gula and other Afghan women look attractive in pictures
  3. what the focus of National Geographic in news reporting is
  4. a description of what Sharbat Gula looked like then

PASSAGE 2:
People love to compare and contrast. In most parts of England, you buy your bus ticket on the bus. In France, you buy it at a metro station. In Australia, you can buy it from a newsagent. We all find this kind of comparison amusing. Books on cross-cultural communication use our curiosity by focusing on differences between people across the world: in social behavior, the roles they play in society, their viewpoint towards money, the importance of their body language, etc.
Proxemics, the study of different standards of personal space, is one example. How close I stand to someone when I am speaking to them depends not only on my relationship to them, but also on my culture. This is important because if the person I am with is not used to standing as near as I do when we are talking to each other, they might feel uncomfortable. Statistics tell us that the average distance at which two people stand in a social context---neighbors talking together, for example---is anything between 1.2 meters and 3.5 meters. In Latin cultures (South America, Italy, etc) and also in China this distance tends to be smaller, while in Nordic cultures (Sweden, Denmark, etc.) people usually stand further apart.
