Hongbao, usually a red envelope (信封) with some money inside, is a kind of traditional gift in China. People always give it during the Spring Festival or for some special events such as birthdays, weddings (婚礼) and so on. It is considered as a way to    46     love, good wishes or blessing(祈祷).

The red color means good luck in   47   culture and can also help people stay away from bad things. This tradition started from more than 2,000 years     48     when old people began to give money to their grandchildren for good luck and safety in the coming New Year.

Different from the traditional red envelope with     49    inside, the virtual(虚拟的) hongbao becomes quite popular this year. It provides people with a chance to give hongbao to other people or to receive them from     50     on the Internet. This new form of hongbao is becoming more and more popular     51    the Wechat (微信) users, especially in 2015.

During the seven - day Spring Festival holiday, I   52    more than 300 yuan by using Wechat, and got half of the money I gave. Although the smallest hongbao had only 0.01 yuan in it, my friends and I still had great     53     giving and receiving the red envelopes. No matter in which way people send red envelopes, the meaning behind it is the same. However, some people, especially the young, spend too much time    54     with their mobile phones to get the virtual hongbao. This not only makes them lose the time they spend with their family but is also   55     for their health and study. So what do you think of the virtual hongbao? Are you for or against it?
