• 1．Different countries have different cultures，today let's learn something about them.
  In the US and Germany
     In the US，a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift for a wedding or holiday.However，in certain European countries like Germany，some people think that a knife presented as a gift will make your friends angry.But there is a way to deal with it.Tie a penny to the knife or the gift box.The receiver then returns the penny to you as a "payment".
  In Zimbabwe（津巴布韦）
     In Zimbabwe，it is not uncommon to be directly asked for a gift.And if you receive a gift suddenly，the worst thing you can do is to refuse it，even if the family is poor.What you should do is to show your thanks.Gestures（手势）are better than words.A dance can speak a thousand words.
  In India
     In India，gifts are given with the right hand.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture，gestures such as touching，passing money，or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand.Contrary to some other cultures，an odd（奇数）number of objects or money stands for good luck.
  In China
     Chinese New Year has a rich set of traditions.One of the most popular customs of this holiday is giving out money in red envelopes（红包）.The gifts are meant to bring good luck.
  In Israel（以色列）
     Although giving gifts is a kind gesture，thank-you cards and notes are not a common part of the giftimple，if you want to give others some money as a gift，please place your money in an envelope to ensure it's received in a respectful manner，or they will be angry.

     When the quarantine was over，every patient thanked the workers for what they had done，but the answer they received was exactly the same： "That's what we're here for. "

• 4．Too many people want others to be their friends，but they don't give friendship back．That is why some friendships don't last very long．To have a friend，you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you．Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules：be honest；be generous （宽宏大量的）；be understanding．
     Honesty is where a good friendship starts．Friends must be able to trust one another．If you do not tell the truth，people usually find out．If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest，you may lose your friend's trust．Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly．

     Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem．Something may go wrong at school．Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve．Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem．So to be a friend you must listen and understand．You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better．
