When Mr. David retired(退休), he bought a small house in a village near the sea. He liked it and hoped to live a quiet life in it.

But to his great surprise, many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays, for it was the most interesting building in the village. From morning to night there were tourists outside the house. They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. David’s garden. This was too much for Mr. David.

Receiving money makes me uncomfortable.

People _____ many books about “the art of giving”. How about the art of receiving? Sometimes, it can be hard to receive a gift, _____ when you get a gift you don’t want.

“I remember at the age of about twelve years old, my parents _____ a purple purse for me,” laughs Guo Xiaojing. “It really _____me, to tell the truth, the purse was really ugly in my opinion! However, I pretended _____ it as I knew it would make my parents happy.”

Han Ling, the twenty-year-old girl agrees. “That _____ me of my grandparents. _____ years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater _____my birthday. _____ I visited them, I used to wear it. But I would _____ as soon as I left their house. Of course, this made me feel guilty. It was a very nice thought, but my taste is totally different from _____ . I think it’s difficult to buy clothes or other personal things for people.

_____ make things more difficult, some people _____ give money. However, in some cultures, people may feel uncomfortable _____ money. “When I get money from someone as a gift, I just feel they are being lazy,” says John Wilson from England. “We also have a saying: It’s the thought that counts. When someone gives me money, I don’t think they thought at all. I really like to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I don’t mind if the gift is what I don’t need. I’m always happy that someone has thought about a gift for me.”
