一、阅读单选
Gift cards are issued(发行)by a store. These cards are big money makers for stores. One reason is that when gift card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they spend more money. Unused cards are another reason. Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards. They either lose them or forget about them.
Gift cards are becoming very popular in many countries around the world. In the US, they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts. Why? Because people love the convenience(便利)gift cards are easy to buy and easy to use, either in the store or online. The recipient can choose his or her own gift, and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing.
But getting a gift card is not the same as getting a gift. A real gift can always remind you of the person who gave it. The message of a real gift is probably like this: I spent some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you. Often a gift card does not send the same message as a real gift. It may seem to say, “I was in a hurry. I didn’t have time to think about what you would really like.”
In today’s world, gift cards are certainly easy to use. But they can make us forget the real purpose(目的)of giving gifts. It is to build a closer relationship between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.
