(2017·浙江杭州七校联考)

The other day I shared knowledge on several aspects of Hindi (印地) culture with you.Today I’m hoping to paint a better picture of 1 it means to give in Hindi and how their generosity differs from 2 of Western culture.

I was 3 when we learned the word “thank you” doesn’t really exist in Hindi.In the mountains,it is 4 used,and people often seemed 5 when we tried to thank them.They 6 either turn their heads,or shake their hands at us.

When we asked our Indian friends why this is so,they 7 that giving and generosity are vital parts of their culture.Giving is more of a 8 of “changing hands” than an act of generosity.In their eyes,the foods they would give us were 9 really “theirs”.They see them as something pa ssed along to them and now they are

10 passing them along to us.

The villagers were eager to 11 their best cucumbers to a passing stranger.

12 ,people in the U.S.tend to 13 old,used,or unwanted things 14 their treasured ones.

15 ,during a coffee break,a friend told me about how he donated his 16 clothes and shoes—just for the 17 of giving up the possessions he likes

most.Giving is 18 Westerners can certainly do.We can practice 19 giving away the things we value most—not only actual physical possessions,but also perhaps even more 20 ,our time and attention.
