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 of “death”. Also, don’t wrap(用……包裹) a present in white, black or blue paper, because they are the colours for funerals(葬禮). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

In Germany if you are invited to dinner, flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess (女主人), 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 presents in white, brown, or black paper.

There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you’re going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? 1.

One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn’t wander(漫游). It’s easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you’re not interested in the subject. 2.

Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you’ll feel tired and bored. 3. Not only does this show respect to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. 4. Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn’t be, it can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.

Finally, you need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher said. You’ll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. 5. Listening isn’t always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you’ll be much more successful in your classes.

Choose the best answer according to the short passage.

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.
