What can we buy? We can spend hours in shops asking ourselves these questions. There is another way to choose the perfect gift. We should think of a gift as communication. When you give a gift to someone, what you are actually doing is speaking to them. You buy, make or discover a gift that says something to the receiver. They receive the gift, and they understand your message. But we usually forget it when we go to choose gifts. We pay our attention first to the object or the need, and then think of what message it says.You may have realized gifts are communication when someone gives you a gift and you at once know what it says. Some gifts say "I love you", some say "You should look after yourself, and some say "You should lose your weight". What gifts say has nothing to do with their price. When you move towards the perfect gift, ask yourself first, "What do I want to say to this person?" Then move on to "What can I give him or her to say this?". This is opposite to the more common "What can I buy him or her?" and then "What will he or she think of it?".The information above can help you come up with some new ideas; it is also meaningful.( ) 56. When was the passage probably written?A. On December 29.B. On December 20.C. On July 1.D. On March 19.( ) 57. One usually asks himself the following questions EXCEPT "____" when choosing gifts.A. What do they want?B. What do they need?C. What can I buy?D. How much time can 1 spend?( ) 58.

Which of the following is RIGHT?A. When we give gifts to people, we are trying to speak to them actually.B. The more expensive a gift is, the more messages it shows.C. When you receive a gift, you can't know what it says right away.D. When you move to choose a gif t, you can ask yourself first , “What will he orshe think of it?”( ) 60.
