You know gift giving plays a very important role in modem society. Now let’s see what happened in some countries.
Australia
Australia is known for its friendly informality and lack of etiquette (缺乏礼节) . At a trade show, T-shirts, ties or a pin may be suitable souvenirs. Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment.
Greece
The most common form of showing appreciation in Greece is probably an evening’s entertainment. If you are invited to a Greek home, flowers or a cake for the hostess is a fit gift.
Germany
A West Virginia executive (主管) , visiting Germany for the first time, was invited to the home of his largest customer. He decided to bring his hostess a bouquet of flowers. He selected a dozen red roses. Oh! Terrible mistake! Flowers are often taken to a hostess of a dinner party at her home, but there are three taboos to remember: 1) red roses signify a romantic interest. 2) an even (偶数的) number of flowers stand for bad luck, as does the number thirteen. 3) always unwrap the flowers before presenting them. This West Virginia executive was making what amounted to (等同于) a pass at his customer’s wife.
Italy
When you are invited to a person’s home for dinner, it might be nice to bring flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess. And in Italy never send chrysanthemums (菊花) . Since they suggest death.

But what culture do we have I think my family culture is simple—to live well and learn.
When Yao Ming was young, he was punished for being dishonest, so honesty is very important to him. Famous writer Mo Yan, born in Shandong, lives a simple life. He works hard and is nice to others. He thinks positive family values (价值观) make good people. All families have their advantages and disadvantages. No family is perfect, but that doesn't matter.

七、材料作文
People in the east use chopsticks, or sometimes even take food with hand as Indians do. The thin and long chopsticks cannot be used to cut food, so we usually use our teeth to act as knives. We hold our food, meat or vegetables with the chopsticks, send them to the mouths, bite off a part of it and remain the other part on the chopsticks. That’s the usual way we eat. We are also used to holding up our bowls when having rice or soup. In the West, when eating bowls and plates cannot leave the tables. Food should be cut by knives to fit into the mouths. Of course your mouth cannot touch the plates or bowls.
