The United States usually is【C7】______as a noncontact culture, primarily because of its original European settlers. Touching behavior, 【C8】______, varies among the different ethnic groups that make【C9】______the country. Blacks and Italian-Americans—to【C10】______two examples—tend to use touch rather widely to communicate closeness and affection. Anglo-Americans normally are restrained in touching others.
