Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
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 pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea ，red is a color of death. That is why you should not pack gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.
What about western countries? In western countries, the color of packing 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 (象征) 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 (回教徒的)or Jewish (猶太族的)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)．
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答下列問題
小題1:In which country do people think red is the color of death?
小題2:How could we show our friendship to the western friends?
小題3: Can we give a Muslim friend a bottle of alcohol as a gift ?
小題4: How many colors are mentioned (提到) in this passage?
小題5:What’s the main idea of this passage?

小題1:Korea
小題2:Send yellow roses
小題3:No, we can't
小題4:Three
小題5:Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了在不同的人和文化之間贈(zèng)送禮物也是不同的。同時(shí)我們還要注意這個(gè)人的宗教。
小題1:根據(jù)第二段However, did you know that in Korea ，red is a color of death. 故填Korea
小題2:根據(jù)You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship．故填Send yellow roses

I am Jack. I am fond of painting on T-shirts. I got the idea two years ago for my brother’s birthday present. T-shirts in the shops were expensive. So I decided to paint a T-shirt myself. I bought a white cotton T-shirt for $ 6 and some paints. I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies in their bodies. At that time---about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern(模式). They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that _____________ are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from heart disease.
Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers(雇主們) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making use of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap--- even ten minutes sleep can be helpful.
小題1: Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the passage?
___________________________________________________________________________
小題2: 在文中第二段空白處填寫一個(gè)單詞，使得句意完整、上下文通順。
