请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的六个选项中选择五个还原到文中,使短文意思通顺、结构完整。
There's an old saying about receiving a gift: It's the thought that counts. That means that even if you don't like or need what someone has given you, it's best to focus on the fact that they thought of you and took the time to choose a present for you. 1. ______F
Maybe it's a book you've read or a sweater that just isn't your style. If you keep it, it will go to waste. And it will take up space in your home. Some people think it's OK to pass the gift along to someone who will enjoy it. 2. ______B What do you think? Is it bad manners to regift a present?
Yes, kindness is more important. Regifting a present defeats the whole purpose of giving a present. When you regift a present, you're not putting care into choosing something special, and the recipient can usually tell. 3. ______A Later, the person who gave the gift to you may ask if you like it. What will you do if you gave it away? If you tell the truth, you're being unkind. And if you don't, you'll have to lie. It is worse than keeping an unwanted gift around.
4. ______E If it's truly the thought that counts with gifts, then it doesn't matter what happens to the gift itself. It's still special, whether it stays in the back of your closet or is given to someone else. Just because you don't want or need whatever you received doesn't mean it's not valuable. 5. ______C A friend, family member, or child may need the gift. When you regift something, you're making someone else happy and preventing waste.
