问题     What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving(and getting)shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people buy them. Here is a guide to give what and why.
    The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, "I agree with you. I like the way you are. " Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn’t match your personality could be an insult to your character.
    Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today—so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you are lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They have given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.
    A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.
    People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.
If you give a large book as a gift, it may show that______.

选项 A、you enjoy reading
B、the receiver is interested in reading
C、you want to share with others a certain feeling or a newly learned meaning
D、you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents

答案D

解析 这是一道细节题。A、B选项文中没有依据,故不可以选。不少考生选择了C项,是受了“Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly learned meaning”的干扰,但未注意到题干中“large”一词。根据题干定位文中“If you happen to receive a large,heavy book,its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are”,故正确答案为D。
