Ⅳ. 任务型阅读
Ren Kexin is preparing a New Year gift for her best friend. It is a cross-stitch(十字绣). Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time. "I'm interested in making gifts myself," said the girl in Grade 9, "and I believe my friend will like it very much."
Many Chinese students make gifts instead of buying them. Ren is one of the students. A DIY gift is not only cheaper but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning.
Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets(手链) and Chinese knots. "Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is special," Zheng Ruobing, a 16-year-old girl, said. She once made a gift for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited about the Chinese knot.
However, not all students are DIY fans. Luo Dinghan thinks making gifts is a waste of time. "I often buy gifts for my friends, as time is more important than money," he said. "And some gifts you get from shops are much more beautiful."
根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题(每小题答案不超过6个单词)。
16. What is Ren Kexin interested in?
17. Which gifts are usually more expensive, DIY gifts or gifts in gift shops?
18. How does Zheng Ruobing like DIY gifts?
19. What gift did Zheng Ruobing make for her American teacher?
