Everyone loves gifts! But each country has different customs(习俗).
As a German living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences from home. For example, in China, people often give fruits and milk. In Europe, these are usually for hospital visits.
Many Europeans open their gifts right away, although not in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag(标签)before giving the gift.
What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift so you won’t hurt the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt(收据)inside the gift, you can just change it for something else.
How the gift looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper(包装纸)for every gift we buy, we make a lot of waste. Now, many are choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings to help the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often want cash at weddings(婚礼)to cover the cost of the weddings.
Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the price of the gift.
41. Which country does the writer come from?
42. Why are people choosing newspapers or maps as wrappings now?
43. According to the writer, which is more important for a gift, the thought or the price of it?

A hobby or skill can make our lives more colourful. As for me, I want to develop

答案： 45.One possible version:
A hobby or skill can make our lives more colourful. As for me, I want to develop the skill of playing the piano.
I’ll start by taking weekly piano lessons from a professional teacher to learn basic notes and techniques. Practice is important, so I’ll spend at least an hour daily practicing scales and simple songs. I’ll also join a school music club to play with others and attend concerts to gain inspiration.
I hope this skill will not only help me relax but also become a way to connect with others. Maybe one day I can perform for my family and friends, bringing joy through music.
