次の英文を読み、各問の答えの番号をマークしなさい。(解答番号1～5)

As workers return to the office, friends meet up, and religious services move from online to in person,
people are asking the question: to shake hands or not to shake hands?
When the coronavirus crisis first began, an event planning company in Kansas City began selling‘I Shake Hands’ stickers. The words were meant to make social situations easier. “We didn’t want thesticker to say, ‘We Don’t Shake Hands’ because that is kind of unpleasant,” said John DeLeon, vicepresident of operations and sales at MTI Event in Kansas City. “But if someone had the sticker on inthat group, then that was the indication that it was OK.” DeLeon added that those who did not want
to shake hands with others could simply choose not to wear a sticker.
The handshake has been around for centuries. A widely held belief is that it started as a way toshow that a person was offering peace and not holding a hidden weapon. But hands have germs.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is America’s leading infectious disease expert. Last year, he warned, “I don’t
think we should ever shake hands again, to be honest with you.” Dr. Amesh Adalja, another infectious
disease expert, does not agree. He thinks people are overthinking the question of whether to shakehands or not. The answer, he says, is simple. “If you are worried about COVID, the best way to makehandshakes safe is to be fully vaccinated,” Dr. Adalja said. “And for any other things that might be on
people’s hands, just wash your hands before you touch your face.”Diane Gottsman is a national etiquette expert. Etiquette means the rules that make up the correct
way to behave in society. Gottsman said she does not think the handshake will go away because of thepandemic. But she said people should take things slowly. “Don’t be the first to extend your hand, even
if you are comfortable,” Gottsman said. “Watch the other person and allow them to extend their greetingof choice.”
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said publicly he does not like shaking hands because
germs on hands can pass. However, he faced criticism in the early days of the pandemic when hecontinued shaking hands at public events. The administration of President Joe Biden at first took social
distancing more seriously. But following the end of federal guidance on face coverings and morewidespread availability of vaccines, handshakes and even hugs returned to the White House.
Lizzie Post is the great-great-granddaughter of another etiquette expert, Emily Post. She said thecountry is entering a time similar to the start of the pandemic, when people wanted to know if others
12were socially distancing before getting close to them. Now the question is whether family, friends, andcoworkers are vaccinated. Post says she likes to announce that she is vaccinated, and then ask directly
whether a person wants a hug or handshake. She does not think the handshake is going away.
