Ever since ancient times, it’s been important to keep in mind proper gift-giving manners when giving presents to your Chinese friends or family. If you don’t know much about traditional Chinese gifting customs, it could end up making you, or the receiver, feel bad. So, what should you pay attention to when choosing the right gift?
To begin with, there are a few key factors to consider(考虑). Firstly, because mianzi (giving and saving face) is important in Chinese culture, it’s necessary to consider the cost of the gift won’t make the receiver feel uncomfortable. Secondly, you should choose a useful gift. Thirdly, avoid gifts that are considered unlucky, like clocks, umbrellas and pears. In Chinese, “to give a clock “sounds like” to attend a funeral”, “umbrella” sound like” split up, “ and “pear” sounds like “to leave.”
In addition, it’s important to understand the types of gifts that are usually exchanged in China. The first is fresh fruit and flowers. Fruit and flowers are popular in most situations. The second common gift is tea in an attractive tin or wrapper(包装). The third common gift is red envelopes filled with cash. These are often given out for birthdays, weddings and the Spring Festival. Six, eight and nine are considered lucky numbers in China, while four is considered unlucky because it sounds like “death. “ The fourth common gift in China is plants. If your Chinese friend just moved to a new home or spends a lot of time in their office, a plant is a good choice for a gift.
Finally, it’s important to be mindful when choosing the color of your gift. During happy occasions, Chinese people prefer the color red because it means cheer, fortune and good luck. During funerals, white and black colors are used to express remembrance and respect.
If you’re planning to give a gift to a Chinese person, keep in mind the above as a helpful guide. No matter what kind of gift you give, it’s always the thought that counts.
【1】Which of the following is the proper gift for visiting a friend in China?
A．A beautiful clock.
B．Some fresh fruit and flowers.
C．A red envelope with ￥444 in it.
D．Some tea without a tin or wrapper.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A．You can send a plant to your friend when he moves to a new home.
B．Pears are bad choices because “pear “sounds like “to attend a funeral”.
C．Chinese people prefer red because it means cheer, good luck and respect.
D．Red envelopes with cash are often given for funerals, birthdays and the Spring Festival.
【3】What needn’t we pay attention to when choosing the gift?
A．The price of the gift.
B．The type of the gift.
C．The colour of the gift.
D．The size of the gift.
【4】In which part of a magazine will you probably read this article?

At 00:23 Beijing Time on October 16, China’s spacecraft Shenzhou-13 launched into space. Three astronauts began China’s longest mission ever at space station module. Do you know what an astronaut’s day looks like? Now please follow us and see. ▼ Every morning you get up, wash your face, brush your teeth. The most important thing to remember about living in space is that there is no gravity (重力), so weights are not as heavy as they are on Earth. When you drop something, it doesn’t fall to the floor. It floats (飘浮), water just breaks into small drops and hangs in the air. Well, astronauts eat and drink differently in space. They have special dishes so that their food doesn’t float away. They use special bags for drinks so that the drink stays inside. Sleep is also different in space. Astronauts tie themselves to the wall so that they don’t float around when they are sleeping. Since they have to work hard, they need to get plenty of rest. The sun rises and sets so often that it’s hard to tell the time. The astronauts have clocks and sometimes music to wake them up. Exercise is important for astronauts as well. Since astronauts float instead of walking or running, their muscles (肌肉) become weak very quickly. They have to exercise on special machines every day so that this doesn’t happen. No one wants to become ill in space and exercise helps them stay healthy. However, it is not all hard work in space. When they are not doing science experiments, writing reports or exercising, read the news and call family members and friends. The astronauts on the International Space Station can even connect to the Internet. |

A．What an Astronaut Eat in Space

D．How an Astronaut Go to Space
27、 The older I get, the more I learn that our quality of life doesn’t depend on what we’ve been given. Instead, our quality of life depends on what we choose to create. Every day, we are creating our life. We are choosing how to spend our time, what words to say out loud, and how to care for ourselves. And with all these choices, we are creating our life.
Creating a good life requires you to choose how you spend your time well. You should be doing things that give you pleasure or satisfaction. But first, you have to find out what it is that you enjoy doing. For example, I enjoy reading, writing, and ballroom dancing. On days when I’m able to do at least one of those activities, I feel quite good. However, if my free time is taken up by serving other people’s interests, I feel frustrated. That is why you have to guard your free time. We all have parts of our day that are spent doing things that we have to do, such as our job or schoolwork. So, our limited free time is valuable indeed. But our free time is where we have the opportunity to create our life.
As a result, the questions you should be asking yourself every day are these: What kind of day am I creating today? Will I spend my time arguing with others and feeling frustrated? Or, will I do something with my time that I truly enjoy, such as reading a book or going dancing with my friends?
We have so many beautiful choices when it comes to spending our free time. The bottom line is this: We choose what kind of life we will live; how we choose to spend our free time is in our hands. Whether we spend our time with kind or unkind people is in our hands. And the choices that we make decide the kind of life that we live. This week, consider whether you’re making the right choices so that you can create a better life for yourself. Make sure you plan your free time carefully.
A good life doesn’t just happen – it’s something that we must create.
【1】According to the author, what should we do to improve our quality of life?.
A.Be grateful for the things we are given, B.Free ourselves from responsibilities.
C.Learn to spend our time properly. D.Make sure we do what we like every day.
【2】When we’re free, the author says we should ___________.
A.do things that truly make us happy B.do more reading and writing
C.offer help to people around us D.spend time with family and friends
【3】Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?
A.We should connect interest with work. B.We can control our own life.
C.Responsibilities come first in life. D.Different interests make people happy
【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Create your own life. B.Be responsible to your own life.
C.The true happiness. D.Develop a healthy lifestyle.
【5】The author wrote the article mainly to __________.
A.show a kind of life that is worth living.
B.tell people how to make choices in life.
C.share her idea of making a better life.
D.advise readers to make full use of their time.
