三、根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（10分）
Every Chinese kid has to learn to use chopsticks for some time. But chopsticks are not just for picking up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions(传统).
Don’t point with chopsticks. It’s not polite to point at people or things with your chopsticks. This is very rude(粗鲁的) because it looks like you are pointing a finger at someone.
Don’t put chopsticks straight up in a bowl. It looks like incense(香) people burn for the dead. Doing it at the dinner table can bring bad luck.
Don’t knock your chopsticks on the bowl. It’s what beggars(乞丐) do when they ask for food. Parents might be angry if their kids do this because they don’t want them to be poor as beggars in the future.
Chopsticks are not just for eating. They can be a nice gift too. In Chinese, “chopsticks” sounds like “kuaizi”. It means “having kids quickly”. So, sometimes people give chopsticks to newlyweds(新婚夫妇) as a wedding present(结婚礼物).
31. How many rules are there about using chopsticks?
32. Why can’t we point at others with chopsticks?
33. Why do parents get angry when their children knock the bowl?
34. Who may receive(收到) chopsticks as gifts?
