The highest anxiety moment in the holiday season must be the moment just before your loved ones unwrap their gifts. The ribbon comes untied, the paper falls to the floor—what will their expression be?【C1】________ out the right gift can be very difficult, and we can easily make mistakes.
Before【C2】________a gift, we all ask ourselves two questions: How much to spend and what to get.【C3】________ both questions are complex, the more complex one by far is what to get. We may not know the exact【C4】________ of the other person;【C5】________we know what kind of gift they would absolutely love, we might still not know the exact color, size, etc.【C6】________these risks, giving an ill-suited gift risks showing the other person exactly how little we really know them. And from there the path to a【C7】________relationship is short.
The risk of giving the wrong thing is【C8】________gift givers often end up giving consumables such as wine and chocolate. After all, these are unlikely to be the "wrong" gift for anyone. But there’s a【C9】________: These safe gifts are not very "gifty" and are unlikely to strengthen our relationship with the recipient.【C10】________, when we give jewelry, art, or furniture, we take a risk that the other person will not like the【C11】________. But these risky gifts are more "gifty" and, if they are successful, will【C12】________their goal of strengthening the social【C13】________between the person giving the gift and the person【C14】________ it.
So how much risk do most gift givers take? Not surprisingly, the majority of givers don’t risk giving more risky gifts. But were they right in playing it【C15】________? In short: They were not. A research showed that, in general, gift givers don’t【C16】________how much others will enjoy their gift.【C17】________, gift receivers preferred the riskier gift and wished that gift givers took more【C18】________.
So perhaps this holiday season we should put an extra effort into gift giving. Let’s throw caution to the winds,【C19】________the wine, chocolates, and gift certificates and give real gifts. The biggest risk is being【C20】________.
【C8】
选项
A、how
B、that
C、where
D、why
答案
D
解析
主句的内容是赠送不恰当礼物面临的风险,表语从句的内容是很多送礼者最终常常会送一些像是红酒、巧克力这样的消费品;下一句进一步解释说明之所以送这些东西是因为不会出错(unlikely to be the “wrong” gift for anyone)。由此可判断主句的内容为表语从句的原因,故选D项why,表示“这也就是为什么……”。A项how、B项that、C项where引导表语从句时均不能表示原因。
