Ever since ancient times, it's been important to keep in mind proper
gift-giving manners when giving presents to your Chinese friends or
family. If you don't know much about traditional Chinese gifting
customs, t could end up making you, or the receiver, feel bad. So, what
should you pay attention to when choosing the right gift?
To begin with, there are a few key factors to consider（考虑）. Firstly, because mianzi (giving and saving face) is important in Chinese
culture, it's necessary to consider the cost of the gift won't make the receiver feel uncomfortable Secondly, you should choose a useful gif. Thirdly, avoid gifts that are considered unlucky, like clocks, umbrellas and pears. In Chinese, "to give a clock "sounds like" to attend a funeral", "umbrella" sound like" split up, " and "pear" sounds like "to leave. "
In addition, it's important to understand the types of gifts that are usually exchanged in China. The first is fresh fruit and flowers. Fruit and flowers are popular in most situations. The second common gift is tea in an attractive tin or wrapper（包装）. The third common gift is red envelopes filled with cash. These are often given out for birthdays, weddings and the Spring Festival.

If your Chinese friend just moved to a new home or spends a lot of time in their office, a plant is a good choice for a gift.
Finally, it's important to be mindful when choosing the color of your gift. During happy occasions, Chinese people prefer the color red because it means cheer, fortune and good luck. During funerals, white and black colors are used to express remembrance and respect.
If you're planning to give a gift to a Chinese person, keep in mind the above as a helpful guide. No matter what kind of gift you give, it's always the thought that counts.

第四节书面表达（共1题, 满分10分）
The “double reduction” policy has been carried out since July, 2021. In order to learn about the changes of the students’ life, Yangcheng Middle School did a research. As the graph shows, it took the students 2 hours to finish homework before our country c arried out the “double reduction” policy, but now they spend 40 minutes less doing their homework. What’s more, they used to spend 30 minutes doing exercise, while they can have more than 90 minutes to do exercise now. The students think that they can have more time to take part in some interesting activities such as playing football, playing the piano, drawing and so on.
In my opinion, the “double reduction” policy is good for us. We can not only relax ourselves but also have more time to communicate with our parents. I believe we can study happily because of the “double reduction” policy.。
