Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.

When giving gifts,sometimes color is important.For example,for many Chinese people around the world,red is a lucky color,and people often like to wrap(包装)gifts in this color.However,do you know that in Korea(朝鲜),red is a color of death? That is why you should not wrap gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.

What about western countries? In western countries,the color of wrapping paper is not really important.But color does matter when giving flowers,especially roses.You should not give red roses to a western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol(象征)of love.You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship.You could also send pink roses as girls to say thank you.

What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well,one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion(宗教).When choosing a gift for a Muslim(回教徒的)or Jewish(犹太族的)friend,you should never get food including pork,or things made from pigskin.Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol(酒).

根据短文内容简要回答下面问题。

1.In which country do people think red is the color of death?

2.How can we show our friendship to the western friends?

3.Can we give a Muslim friend a bottle of alcohol as a gift?

4.How many colors are mentioned(提到)in this passage?

5.What’s the main idea of this passage?

1.(In)Korea.

2.We can send/give them yellow roses./By sending/giving them yellow roses.Send/Give yellow roses to them.

3.No,we can't.

4.Three/3.

5.Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.

Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you   36 .
I wanted to do something very   37  for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it   38  it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备).
I could   39  wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to   40  the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a   41 :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could   42  lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s   promise.

Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is   46  present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to   47  this story.
