　　Rules for giving gifts in China:
It′s quite common to bring gifts to the host when you are invited in China. It is a right way to say thank you to give gifts to the people who invite you.
The recipient often refuses the gift while the giver has to insist a bit. The recipient should not appear greedy(渴望的) when others give a gift to him or her in China. So the recipient often refuses the gift you give twice or three times before accepting. You should offer the gift again after the recipient refuses the gift, and he or she may finally accept your gift.
The gift should be wrapped(包裹) well. It is not suitable to give the gifts with market bags.Meanings of colors for the gift wrap are red for happy situations, white or black for the dead, gold or silver for weddings.
Choose a wise gift. When you visit others, you can choose gifts, such as wine, tea and something that is useful to the whole family. Also, some special gifts of your country or family are also very meaningful. If you are visiting a newly-wed(新婚的) couple′s house, some small household appliances like juicers, tea sets are good ideas. If you are visiting a senior couple, fitness equipment(健身器材) is always welcomed.
General tips for accepting gifts:
The recipient should accept the gift with both hands.
Chinese recipients usually won′t open gifts in front of the giver immediately. They believe opening gifts immediately will show visitors that the recipients care the value of gifts more than the visitors′ visiting and this is slightly impolite. They will open the gift in Chinese etiquette(礼节): Gift-giving happens after the party or visit and then the recipient will offer back or send a thank-you message to the giver. So if you receive a gift, you could ask, “Would you mind my opening it right now ” After receiving a gift, you can call, give back a gift or send a message to show appreciation(感激).

送礼和收礼习俗
【篇章导读】 不同的国家有不同的习俗,本文主要讲的是在中国赠送礼物和接受礼物时应该注意的事项。
【答案详析】
6.B　词义猜测题。本句后半部分的意思是“而送礼人不得不坚持一会儿”。由本句中的“while”和“giver”可知,画线单词的意思应该和giver的意思相对,结合选项可知选B。
7.D　细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“You should offer the gift again after the recipient refuses the gift, and he or she may finally accept your gift.”可知,在收礼人拒绝礼物后,送礼者应该再送一次礼物,这样他或她可能最终会接受你的礼物。故D项表述错误。
8.B　细节理解题。由第三段中的“gold or silver for weddings”可知,金的或银的礼品包装适合婚礼。故选B。
9.A　段落大意题。第四段第一句为该段的主旨句,其他部分都是对该句进行的例证。故选A。
10.D　细节理解题。由最后一段的第二句“They believe opening gifts immediately will show visitors that the recipients care the value of gifts more than the visitors′ visiting and this is slightly impolite.”可知,中国的收礼者之所以通常不会立即在送礼者面前打开礼物,是因为他们认为立即打开礼物会让送礼者觉得他们更关心礼物的价值,而不是他们的来访,这有点不礼貌。
