When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many
Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to
wrap gifts in this color.
However, did you know that in Korea, red is a color of death? That is why
you should not wrap your gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean
person.What about western countries? In western countries, the color of
wrapping paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving
flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a western person you
don"t know very well because they are a symbol of love.
You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship.
You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a
different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person"s religion
(宗教). When choosing a gift for a Muslim (穆斯林) or Jewish (犹太教的)
friend, you should never get food including pork, or things made from pigskin.
Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol (酒).

| Maybe everyone in China knows June 1st is the Children’s Day, but do you know Boy’s Day? May 5th is Japanese Children’s Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy’s Day. The celebration of Boy’s Day has a long history. It is said that the festival comes from the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节) in China. On this day, Japanese boys eat a special kind of rice cake. It is covered with a leaf and filled with bean paste (豆酱). Children love to eat it. Every boy can get presents from their parents. Some parents are very valuable, such as computers, Mobil phones, even cars and so on. On Boy’s Day, children don’t have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags (鲤鱼旗).

Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power. |

Running didn"t use to be so popular. In the 1960s, runners were mostly athletes and healthy strange people. In those days, when people saw a runner, they used to say, "Hey, what"s the hurry for?" Or they might say to themselves, "Is he crazy?" Women almost never ran. If they did, they might hear a man shout, "If I catch you, can you buy me a drink?" But today all this has changed. Men and women of all ages enjoy running. Doctors say many of the health problems in the United States come from these bad habits: eating too much, smoking cigarettes, and not exercising enough.
