缺詞填空(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及首字母提示，填入所缺單詞)

　　Many books have been written about “the art of giving”．But what about the art of r　　1　　 ? Sometimes, receiving a gift can be difficult, especially when someone buys you a gift you don't want!

　　“I remember when I was about twelve years old, my parents b　　2　　 me a purple purse, ” laughs Guo Xiaojing．“It really made me feel embarrassed(尷尬), because I thought the purse was really ugly! Still, I pretended(假裝)that I liked it b　　3　　 I knew it would make my parents happy! ”

　　Han Ling agrees．“That sounds like my grandparents! A few years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater f　　4　　 my birthday．I used to wear it every time I visited them, but when I left their house, I took it off! Of course, this made me feel g　　5　　．It was a very nice thought, but my grandparents have different taste from me! I think it's hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people．”

　　To make things easier, some people would rather just give money．In some cultures, h　　6　　 , receiving money can make people uncomfortable．“When someone gives me money, it j　　7　　 makes me think they’re being lazy, ” says John Wilson．“In England, we have a saying：It's the thought that counts．When s　　8　　 gives me money, I feel they don't think at all．I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it．I don't mind if it's something I don't need．If someone has thought about a g　　9　　 for me, it always makes me happy．”

　　Different people have very different thoughts on this subject! So maybe the art of receiving is e　　10　　 more difficult than the art of giving! What do you think?
