题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for
"clock" is similar to the sound for "death" in Chinese. Also, don't wrap (包裹) a present in white, black,
or blue paper, because these are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don't give a knife, because something
sharp (锋的) can cut a friendship.
IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five,
etc) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc) are for funerals.
IN GERMANY flowers are a good present to take in your dinner hostess, but don't take her red
roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky
number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your present in white, brown, or
black paper.

In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying. “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to com.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are appropriate(合适的).
