Pet a black cat for just a second and you'll make a loyal friend for life. But over the centuries,
these dark, handsome, and friendly felines have endured the stigma of cultural and historical myths,
superstitions, and tales that make them either revered or feared.
If you're spooked when you see a black cat, it’s probably from medieval folklore that continues
to shroud the reputation of these dignified kitties. Black cats have long been associated with witches
and witchcraft. It's said that the story began when a black cat was seen running into a house thought
to be inhabited by a witch. During the Middle Ages, black cats became equated with black magic.
Roaming nocturnal black cats were thought to be witches in disguise, witches' pets, or animal-shaped
demons sent by witches to spy on humans. Throughout early 13th century Europe until the 17th
century Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts, black cats were killed along with those who were
considered witches. Black cats have evolved into icons of anything related to witchcraft, especially
during the Halloween season.
A black cat is also associated with bad luck, and sadly, death. This fear of black cats appears to
stem from medieval times when an animal with dark feathers or fur; including crows and ravens,
signaled death. In 16th-century Italy, it was believed that death was imminent if a black cat would lie
on someone's sickbed. In modern-day North America, negative connotations continue to haunt black
cats. It’s considered bad luck if a black cat crosses your path and good luck if a white cat crosses your
path. Another family member is bound to die if you spot a black cat during a funeral procession. It's a
bad omen if you see a black cat walking away from you.

answer to each of the questions.
INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the
beginning of human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving
customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the
hostess would prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are
an appropriate gift for the hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some
fruit or small gifts for the hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be
wrapped in black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country.
Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided
because they mean the cutting of the relationship. Also, in some countries you should not open the
gift in front of the giver and in others it would be an insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented.
Different cultures have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your
right hand or using both hands, for example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate
way to accept a gift. In Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several
times before finally accepting it. The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear
of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate
gift, will help you to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-
cultural relationship.

B. In Sweden, it is not customary to bring some wine or flowers when you are invited to a dinner
party.

Exercise 4: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However,
wedding customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol
of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started
around 150 years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only
wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in
the Middle East, colors of joy and happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride
or used as part of the wedding ceremony.
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of gold or silver
and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular
shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings
engraved with the bride's name on the groom’s ring, an vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of
love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings
in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into
a crowd of well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will
be the next one to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red
envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western
countries, for example in the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they
may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts
to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in
one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage
ceremonies in other countries.
