四、閱讀測驗題: 10%      The Japanese integrate gift-giving into their daily life. Therefore, it’s important for visitors to be aware of how and when to give and receivegifts. Following is a list of tips to help you follow Japanese customs.    Devalue the gift you give. The important thing is to act and seem humble. The Japanese value the appearance of a humble gift-giver whotries to shun praise for his or her offering.    Praise the gift you receive. Although praising may seem obvious, over-praising the gift is the key. It’s also important to praise the fine tasteof the gift-giver in making that particular choice for you. Don’t forget to give “a thousand and one” thanks.     Don’t open the gift unless you are urged to do so. And when you do, you must take the utmost care in unwrapping it. Don’t look eager, andbe careful that you don’t tear the paper or cut the ribbon. After observing, praising, and thanking, be sure to rewrap the gift as if it had never beenopened.    Choose perishable or edible gifts. In general, don’t buy things such as ornaments, vases, or kitchenware; it’s assumed that everyone alreadyhas these things. Instead, offer fruit, wine, canned goods, or coffee or tea.    Wrap all gifts attractively. Wrap anything and everything with good-quality paper along with bows and ribbons. Japanese gift-giving is anart and it should be treated as such. (Adapted from The Art of Gift-Giving by Yuki Kim)
