There are different kinds of gift shops. And giving small gifts is a common way of showing how much we care for someone, even if there is nothing special. So, how do you choose a perfect gift for your friends? To find a right gift, you can do three things.
Know the person’s interests
You should find out what your friends like most and then buy those kinds of gifts. If they love books, you should learn about the writers they like. If they love travelling, you can get some postcards. By buying something that reflects(反映) the person’s interest, you can be
sure they will like it, and this will help build the relationship.
Find out if the person has a problem
Gifts can be cheap things. They can be something that the person needs most. And as presents should be a surprise, don't ask your friends what they need. Listen to them carefully as they may talk about their problems. Also, you can look around and find out what problems they may be facing.
Give them an experience(经历)
Gifts don't have to be things you can touch. They can be experiences that the person would enjoy. For example, if a friend loves a music group, you can take him or her to one of their shows. It will be a surprise and they will never forget it.
No matter what you gift, care is more important than anything else.

【分析】
本题是任务型阅读，核心是结合原文内容、表格结构及词汇知识完成填空。解题思路：首先通读全文把握主旨（如何挑选完美礼物），接着定位每个空对应的原文语句，分析空格处的词性、搭配及语义逻辑，最后确定符合要求的词汇。
【解析】
1. 标题：文章围绕“挑选完美礼物的方法”展开，故填How/Ways/Tips；
2. 对应原文“showing how much we care for someone”，give后接不定式需动词原形，故填show；
3. 对应原文“even if there is nothing special”，构成both...and...结构，与ordinary（普通的）相对，故填special；
4. 对应原文小标题“Know the person’s interests”，固定搭配be interested in（对……感兴趣），故填interested；
5. 对应原文“what your friends like most”，like most对应形容词favourite（最喜欢的）修饰things，故填favourite；
6. 对应原文“this will help build the relationship”，需形容词作表语，help的形容词为helpful，故填helpful；
7. 对应原文“Gifts can be cheap things”，cheap的反义词expensive符合“不必昂贵但要有用”的语义，故填expensive；
8. 对应原文“Listen to them carefully”，carefully的形容词careful修饰listener，构成“认真的倾听者”，故填careful；
9. 对应原文“they can be experiences that the person would enjoy”，动名词短语作主语，故填Enjoying；
10. 对应原文“care is more important than anything else”，需形容词最高级，故填important。
