Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When people give 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, do you know that in South 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 person there.
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).

Thousands of people die in the fire every year. What should we do if a fire happens?
First, we should leave the room immediately when we hear the fire alarm. If there
is a lot of smoke in your room, remember to use a wet towel to cover your mouth. And we should never try to take anything with us; even it's expensive. Second, after
we leave the room, we should walk down the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
Third, when we get out of the building, we should call the police at once and wait
for the firemen to put the fire out. Finally, don't go back to the building until
there is no fire.
