【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了挑选完美礼物的三个建议,以帮助读者更好地选择能够表达心意、满足对方需求的礼物,从而加深彼此的关系。
【26题详解】
根据上文“Gifts are a good way of showing how much you care about someone, especially during the festivals.”和下文“Luckily, picking the right gift can be a lot easier if you keep the following three tips in mind.”可知,上文提到礼物是表达关心的好方式,下文则说遵循一些提示选礼物会更容易,中间缺少一个转折,说明找完美礼物存在困难;选项E“但有时很难找到一份完美的礼物。”符合语境,起到承上启下的作用。故选E。
【27题详解】
根据上文“One of the worst things you can do is to gift someone something he or she hates. It can hurt your friendship, because the other person may think you don’t care about him or her at all.”可知,送别人讨厌的礼物会伤害友谊,因为对方可能觉得你不关心他,所以此处是指要先了解对方的兴趣;选项D“这就是为什么你应该首先了解他或她的兴趣。”顺理成章,与前文构成因果关系,符合语境。故选D。
【28题详解】
此处为该段的小标题,根据本段首句“Gifts can be something helpful in your friends’ daily life.”可知,本段强调礼物应是朋友日常生活中有用的东西,也就是要送他们真正想要的;选项B“给他们真正想要的东西。”能够概括本段主旨,符合语境。故选B。
【29题详解】
根据下文“Instead, listen carefully when they talk.”可知,在他们交谈时仔细倾听而得知他们需要什么样的礼物,所以此处是指不要直接问他们需要什么礼物;选项C“礼物应该是个惊喜,不要问对方他们需要什么。”符合语境。故选C。
【30题详解】
根据本段小标题“Think about giving an experience.”和下文“Studies have shown that a person remembers an experience more than physical things.”可知,本段强调给予体验作为礼物,因为体验类礼物比实物更令人难忘,所以此处应阐述礼物不必是实物,从而引出下文;选项A“礼物不一定非得是实物。”符合语境。故选A。

①Do you often find it difficult to say “no” when someone asks for your help? Do you feel bad when you can’t help them? Do you often pretend (假装) to agree with people though you think differently? If so, you might be a “people-pleaser”.
②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you make friends. But, if you always try to make others happy and forget about your own feelings, you might feel stressed. The good news is, there are ways to stop being a people-pleaser.
③First, know your limits (限度) and set boundaries (界限) in your life. Decide what you really want to do. You can also tell others when you’re busy.

⑤Thirdly, people often try to please (取悦) others because they don’t feel confident (自信). They forget about their own needs and interests. Remember, you have dreams, too. Don’t waste time on things that don’t make you happy?
⑥ Lastly, making a big change can be difficult, so start with small steps. For example, you can send a message to say “no”. Then, try saying “no” face to face. Practice in different situations, like talking to a shop keeper or ordering food at a restaurant.
