Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen (加深) a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone’s birthday and other special dates and events.
For music fans, a CD filled (填充) with their favourite music always makes a special gift.
Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant.
Making a gift for someone using your own skills is very special. It is much more meaningful than a store-bought gift and shows how much you care!

A young man asked Albert Einstein(爱因斯坦)，the great German(德国) scientist, what the secret of success(成功) is. The Scientist told him that the secret of success is hard work. A few days later the young man asked the same question again. Einstein was very unhappy. He didn’t say anything, but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to the young man. The young man looked at the piece of paper. On it was written: A=X+Y+Z.
“What does this mean?” asked the young man.
“A means success,” explained the old scientist, “X stands for hard work, Y---for good
methods(方法), and Z… Z means stopping talking and getting down to work.”
