Many books have been written about “the art of giving”. And we also know that it’s hard to give people a gift, 21a personal one. If we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give the gift to and their likes and 22.
As is often the case, some little kids think they don’t get enough gifts 23some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too24. For example, when a little child just gives his or her mother a leaf from a tree, it is enough to make her very 25.
Gift giving is different in different 26. Here are some of their likes. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone 27, because many people have enough things and don’t want 28gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember 29. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to30too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.
To make things 31 , some people would rather just give money. In some cultures, however, 32 money can make people uncomfortable. “When someone gives me
money, it just makes me think they’re being lazy,” says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought that 33 . When someone gives me money, I feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 34 has some thought behind it.”
Different people have very different thoughts 35 this subject! So maybe the art of giving is difficult! What do you think?

What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to recordinformation? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to lead. Before glasses were invented, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.
People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are oneof the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephoneand the first car.
