How to give and receive
Giving and receiving red packets is a 5 act. Therefore. red packets are always 6 and received with both hands.
Someone who receives a red packet at Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not 7 it in front of the giver. _ 8 , things are different at a Chinese wedding, where the guests usually give the red packets to the attendants and sign 9 names on a large scroll ( long piece of paper).

The amount(数量)
The amount of money is relative to your relationship to the person who receives ---the 11 your relationship is, the more money is expected. Anyway, it is not the amount of the money that matters, but the care and love you hold for others .

Why did Chinese people have more than one name in ancient times
In ancient China, people’s names had three parts, their family name, given name and courtesy name. Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family name, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.
People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.
Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.
One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.
21 How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China
A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.
22. What does the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese
A. 名 B. 姓氏 C. 字 D. 昵称
23. Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life
A. To show their love. B. To show their good relationship.
C. To show their kindness. D. To show their respect.
24. What would be used if your elders were talking about you according to the passage
A. Family name. B. Nickname. C. Given name. D. Courtesy name.
25. What’s the main idea of the passage
