【分析】
这是一道信息还原题，解题核心是把握上下文的逻辑关系，包括总分关系、举例说明、因果解释等。首先通读全文，了解文章主旨是介绍不同国家的送礼传统差异：
1. 开头点明各国送礼传统差异大，接下来需要一句能引出“差异具体表现”的句子，衔接后文的各国例子；
2. 第二空后文提到美国人认为实用礼物（如刀具）有用，前文应是美国送礼的具体例子；
3. 第三空后文强调要用右手做触碰、送礼的行为，前文需解释原因，结合后文的“cleanliness”可知和手的洁净有关；
4. 第四空前文提到印度送礼选奇数求好运，后文应是奇数选择的具体实例；
5. 第五空后文列举了跳跃、跳舞等动作，前文应是引出“用行动表达感谢”的句子。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文“Gift giving traditions are greatly different from one country to another.”点明各国送礼传统差异大，G选项“A behaviour that shows respect in one place might be impolite somewhere else.”正好承接“差异”，引出下文各国的具体差异例子，故选G。
2. 第2空：后文“Many Americans think practical gifts like this are useful and thoughtful.”中的“like this”指代前文提到的礼物，D选项“In the US,a set of kitchen knives seems a perfect gift idea.”给出了美国的具体实用礼物例子，与后文衔接紧密，故选D。
3. 第3空：后文“So behaviours such as touching and giving gifts are to be done with right hands.”中的“So”表明前文是原因，B选项“In Indian culture,left hands are thought to be unclean.”解释了为什么要用右手，符合因果逻辑，故选B。
4. 第4空：前文“Indians often choose odd numbers for gifts to send good wishes.”提到印度人选奇数送礼，A选项“For example,f ll should be given instead of f 10.”是对“选奇数”的具体举例，衔接自然，故选A。
5. 第5空：后文“These may include jumping up and down,dancing or cheering.”中的“These”指代前文提到的行为，F选项“Also,expressing thanks with actions is better than just saying ‘thanks’.”引出了这些行动类的感谢方式，故选F。
