二、阅读短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
Everyone loves receiving gifts, as they are a meaningful way to show love. However, traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China, I've seen some interesting differences. For example, fruit and milk are common gifts here, but in my culture, they might be more suitable(合适的) for hospital visits.
In Europe, many people usually open their presents right away. So remember to remove price tags(标签) before giving gifts.
What if you don't like the gift? In Spain, it's polite to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the gift-giver's feelings. But if the person leaves the receipt(收据) inside the gift, people in Spain commonly exchange it for something else.
Regifting(转送礼物) is another good idea as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people don't want for those in need, CBS News reported.
How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them now choose newspapers or maps to protect the environment.
英语
Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often ask for cash at weddings(婚礼) to cover the cost.
Finally, remember: It's the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
6. In the writer's culture, what gifts might be good choices when visiting someone in hospital?
7. What should you remove from gifts before giving them in Europe?
8. Why do some Germans use newspapers or maps to wrap presents now?
9. Do you agree with regifting? Why or why not? (within 15 words)
