Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions. (1.2 points)
When the British transport minister presented a watch to a Chinese official, her act was
described by BBC as a “cultural gaffe”. So why is a “watch” not a good gift in Chinese eyes? And
what are the right and wrong choices for gifts to Chinese business associates and friends? The
answer lies in the Chinese language.
Giving someone a clock or a watch as a present is traditionally a taboo in Chinese culture due
to “giving a clock” and “attending a person’s funeral” having the same pronunciation, regardless of
the different written characters. Therefore, avoiding presenting a gift which has “the same
pronunciation of any unlucky meaning” is important in building relationships with Chinese people.
Gifts are presented with two hands in China. The receiving person may decline the gift at first
(or even up to three times). It is part of the custom for Chinese to do so as they consider themselves
not worthy of the gift. However, do not withdraw the gift as your persistent trying will persuade the
Chinese into accepting your gift. If presenting organisational gifts, it is done during a toast or at the
end of a meal, just prior to departure. In modern time China, sometimes a business meeting is
planned on short notice and can be quite short. In this case, organisational gifts are exchanged after
the first speaker of meeting parties or just before the end of the meeting.
Question 1: What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Unlucky Meanings in Chinese Gift Exchange B. Cultural Mistakes with Gift-giving
3
C. Chinese Gift-Giving Etiquette D. Gift-Giving in Chinese Parties
Question 2: Why is giving someone a clock or a watch as a present traditionally a taboo in Chinese
culture?
A. due to “giving a clock” and “attending a person’s funeral” having the same pronunciation
B. because it is part of the custom for Chinese to do that
C. because the same pronunciation is important in building relationships with Chinese people
D. due to the right and wrong choices for gifts to Chinese business associates and friends
Question 3: Why is a “watch” considered an inappropriate gift in Chinese culture?
A. because it is too expensive B. due to its association with funerals in Chinese language
C. Chinese people prefer digital clocks D. it is not mentioned in the passage
Question 4: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People need to give gifts with two hands in China.
B. A business meeting can sometimes be short.
C. People in China can exchange gifts at the end of a meeting.
D. The receiving person will accept the gift right away.
