Many books have been written about “the art
of giving”. But what about the art of r 1 ? Sometimes,
receiving a gift can be difficult, especially when someone buys you a gift you
don’t want!
“I remember when I was about twelve years old,
my parents b 2 me a purple purse,” laughs Guo Xiaojing. “It
really made me feel embarrassed(尷尬), because I thought the purse was really ugly！Still, I pretended (假裝)that I liked it b
3 I knew it would make my parents happy!”
Han Ling agrees. “That sounds like my
grandparents！A few years
ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater f 4 my
birthday. I used to wear it every time I visited them, but when I left their
house, I took it off! Of course, this made me feel g 5 . It
was a very nice thought, but my grandparents have different taste from me! I
think it’s hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people.”
To make things easier, some people would
rather just give money. In some cultures, h 6 ,
receiving money can make people uncomfortable. “When someone gives me money, it
j 7 makes me think they’re being lazy,”
says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought that counts.
When s 8 gives me money, I feel they don’t think
at all. I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I don’t
mind if it’s something I don’t need. If someone has thought about a g
9 for me, it always makes me happy.”
Different people have very different thoughts
on this subject! So maybe the art of receiving is e 10 more
difficult than the art of giving! What do you think?
