　　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(包裝)gifts in this color．However, did you know that in Korea, 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 of love．You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship．You could also send pink roses as gifts 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 or Jewish(猶太族的)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)．

(1)

In Korea people think red is the color of death．

(　　)

(2)

Yellow roses are the symbol of love in western countries．

(　　)

(3)

閱讀理解

　　When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents．The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket．

　　I drove him to a nearby supermarket．Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car．It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents．Finally he came to the checkout counter(交款處)and reached into his pocket for his money．It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money．Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face．

　　Then a surprising thing happened．A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms．"You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman．"It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me．I only ask that one day you will pass it on．When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help．When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no．"

　　Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could．That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us．

　　I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets(毯子)and clothes for the homeless people in the fire．And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on．
