七、任务型阅读(每小题2分,共10分)
Do you know the etiquette(礼节) in giving and receiving gifts? As a business traveler, it might be necessary to give a gift to a customer from another culture. With a history of thousands of years,China's etiquette has formed and been passed down generation by generation. In China, gifts are usually given to show respect, appreciation(感激) and build relationships. In both giving and receiving gifts, you should know what you are supposed to do in China. Here are some tips for you.
First, there are many occasions when gifts are given in China, such as weddings, birthdays,festivals, and business meetings. When giving a gift, it is the most important to consider the receiver's relationship with the giver.
Second, the giver usually uses two hands when offering a gift to another person. The receiver may accept the gift with appreciation. After receiving a gift, he or she will open it later to avoid appearing greedy(贪婪的) or impatient.
Another tip for gift-giving relates to wrapping(包装) gifts, especially in choosing the colour of paper used for wrapping. In China, for example, white is not a good choice. Because in Chinese culture, white is an unlucky colour. White and black are also to be avoided when wrapping gifts in China because of the relation of these colours to funerals(葬礼). Joyful colours such as red, yellow, and pink are commonly used in Chinese cultures.
Last but not least, for Chinese people, it is necessary to notice that you are supposed to send a gift in return. When you receive a gift, you will offer back when it is suitable. This is called“Li Shang WangLai”. The customary reciprocity(互惠) is also considered a traditional way to build and maintain(保持)relationships.
