原文+答案解析

282.
W: Did I tell you I'm going to China on business? I have to buy some gifts before I leave.
M: Good idea. What are you going to bring?
W: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs. They're colorful, beautiful... also lightweight. I don't want to carry anything heavy.
M: Uh, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. They aren't good gifts in Chinese culture.
W: Why not?
M: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying good-bye or ending a relationship.
W: Saying good-bye?
M: Yeah, like when you're going away and people are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner--not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.

答案解析：
(1) 正确答案为C。根据男子建议内容，Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner--not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.实际上我听说最好的方法是请客吃饭，不是礼物，而一顿大餐，这对生意有益处。可知，女子很可能会请客户吃大餐，因此C项正确。
(2) 正确答案为A。根据对话内容，Uh, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. 嗯，我觉得你不应该送手帕。可知，男子在提出建议，因此A项。
