Are you a good
receiver? It might sound like a funny question but
it is an important
one that each of us
should ask ourselves.
Strangely,
most
of
us
are
better
givers
than
receivers.
We
give
to
our
family,
our
friends and even charities, and opposite to what
we might think, most of us are
actually
very
good
at
giving.
But
receiving
is
another
matter.
We
often
feel
a
little
uneasy
when
receiving,
although
it
is
not
very
noticeable.
Even
praise
gets
deflected
（转向）
when
it comes our way. When someone praises us for
helping him move or clean
up the house,
we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When
someone praises the
coat we are
wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a
discount instead of simply
enjoying
the
praise.
Actually,
the
praise
is
a
gift
to
us,
and
when
we
don’t
receive
it
properly, we are dishonoring the giver.
Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in
giving, but receiving is an art
that
takes
practice.
To
be
a
good
receiver
requires
a
sense
of
close
relationship
with
the giver. It is
always
a pleasure for a
giver to
see the gift received
in a
pleasant
way. And this is
also the best way for a receiver to honor the
giver and give him
something back.
Many relationships are not so good not because
people are not giving to each
other,
but
because
they
are
not
receiving
from
each
other
well.
We
should
receive
the
love,
respect
the
praise,
and
give
thanks
every
time
giving
happens.
We
should
practice
receiving all the
pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of
taking them for
granted.
Think
of
how
many
simple
everyday
gifts
we
are
being
given
all
the
time:
the
beauty
of
nature,
art
and <
/p>
inspiring
（
激励人的）
conversations.
But
are
we
truly
receiving
1
them
when
they
happen
to
us,
or
are
we
busy
with
other
matters,
not
noticing?
We
should
master
the
art
of
receiving:
accept
the
gifts
life
offers
us
and
show
our
appreciation
for them.
We
are
taught
that
it
is
better
to
give
than
to
receive.
But
this
suggests
that
there is something
wrong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with
receiving. It
is
better
to
give
and
receive.
Let
life
shower
us
with
gifts,
pleasures,
joys,
surprises,
both
large
and
small,
and
let
us
take
notice
of
all
these
things
and
accept
them
happily
and
thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we
can give back, but giving more
does not
necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember
it is harder to receive
than to give,
and try to practice receiving. This practice will
benefit us greatly,
making us become
good receivers as well as good givers.
1. According to Paragraph 2, what do we
possibly do when we are praised?
A. Honor the giver
publicly.
B.
Show our pleasure clearly.
C. Receive the praise
uncomfortably.
D. Express our disagreement properly.
2. The ex
pression “taking
them for granted” probably means “_______”.
A.
looking for them with expectation
B. depending on them with satisfaction
C. getting away from them without regret
D. benefiting
from them without appreciation
3. What
can we learn from the passage?
A. People usually can
receive more by giving more.
B. People usually try to receive as much as
possible.
C. People should give a
gift back when receiving one.
D. People can improve relationships by receiving
well.

4. What is the best title
for the passage?
A. Be a Good Receiver and Giver
B. Better to
Give Than to Receive
C. Better to Give, Better to Receive
D. Be a
Receiver Rather Than a Giver
