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】________.
【C6】
选项
A、With
B、without
C、from
D、on
答案
A
解析
these risks指代上句提到的我们在挑选礼物时不知道收礼人的喜好。本空格需填入介词与these risks构成状语,说明状语与主句的逻辑关系。状语和本句主干部分内容“赠送不恰当的礼物会向另一个人暴露出我们对他们的了解有多么的少”存在因果关系。A项With+名词的结构作状语可以表原因或理由。首先排除C项from及D项on,这两个介词均无表示原因的用法。B项without“没有”与本题语义相悖。
