【题目】This is the season for giving. Looking to get in touch with your generous side? Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers.
1. 【1】
Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person. Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value.
2. They don’t focus on cost.
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits, but that doesn’t mean givers should focus on expensive gifts. 【2】 It seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion(同情). And isn’t compassion what this time of year is all about? So don’t take it too hard if you don’t have a lot to spend. 【3】
3. They make gifts personal.
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him, and show how well you know him. 【4】 Book a massage (按摩), take them to a wine tasting event, or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show. If you’re buying for a parent, taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all.
4. They think about the presentation.
【5】 See what you have around your house to customize (自定义) packaging. You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine. You can also tie on a decoration that fits the theme of your gift.
A. They plan ahead.
B. Instead, get creative.
C. They enjoy
D. In fact, thoughtful gift givers don’t concentrate on the cost of presents.
E. Thoughtful gift givers pay attention to detail, including how their gifts are packaged.
F. Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone.
G. If you’re buying for someone who seems to have everything, consider gifting an experience.

【1】根据“Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as...Take time to think about his or her personality and interests”可知,本段讲的是事先做好送礼物的计划,抽时间考虑对方的性格和兴趣爱好,故选A。
【2】根据“They don’t focus on cost...but that doesn’t mean givers should focus on expensive gifts”可知,本段讲的是考虑周到的送礼者不会注重礼物的价格,故选D。
【3】根据“And isn’t compassion...is all about? So don’t take it too hard if you don’t have a lot to spend.”可知,并非最贵的礼物就是最好的,B项“礼物要有创意”与前句“如果没有太多资金”相符,故选B。
【4】根据“Book a massage (按摩), take them to a wine tasting event...”可知,这里讲的按摩、品酒等都不是实物,而是一次生活体验,故选G。
