       You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job
interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special
holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations.
       At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once
the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be
modest (适度的 ) with  your  gift, do  not  buy  expensive gifts.
     Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do
not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require
attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like
this a little later" when you offer your gift.
     Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you
know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are
for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they
are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your"country is usually
very suitable.
     Make sure your gift is packaged nicely with a nice card.

One night the father was very tired after work,so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen,and she forgot about it.
       Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn"t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn"t know
how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news,the father humed to the police station. When he saw his wife,he didn"t blame her. Instead he said,"l love you,darling ! "
       "If I had picked him up or found this earlier,this would not have happened," the father thought. He
