Traditional red pockets are often decorated with gold Chinese characters（汉字）, such as _16_ and wealth.How red packets are usedDuring Chinese New Year, _17_ is (are) put inside red packets which are then handed out to younger generations by their parents, grandparents, relatives, and even close neighbours and friends.The _18_Red represents luck and good fortune in Chinese culture. That is _19_ red packets are used during Chinese New Year and other celebrations. How to give and receiveGiving and receiving red packets is a _20_ act. Therefore, red packets are always _21_ and received with both hands. Someone who receives a red packet at Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not _22_ it in front of the giver. _23_, things are different at a Chinese wedding, where the guests usually give the red packets to the attendants and sign _24_ names on a large scroll ( long piece of paper). The attendants will open the packets at once, _25_ the money inside, and record it on a register（登记簿） next to the guests names. The amount（数量）The amount of money is relative to your relationship to the person who receives-the _26_your relationship is, the more money is expected. Anyway, it is not the amount of the money that matters, but the care and love you hold for others .What not to giftCertain amounts of money are to be _27_. Anything with a four is not good because four sounds similar to _28_ in Chinese. Even numbers（偶数）, except four, are better than odd-as good things are believed to come in _29_. For example, gifting 20 is better than 21.The money inside a red packet should _30_ be new. Folding the money or giving dirty or wrinkled bills is in bad taste. Hongbao is a symbol of love from others, as well as a sign of good luck.16. A. praiseB. dreamC. happinessD. advice17. A. paperB. moneyC. lettersD. notes18. A. colourB. sizeC. shapeD. history19.
