Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 36 to 40.
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 these 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 the 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 organizational 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.
