20、读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones. This is a great thing, but tons of those people will make the same mistake, and buy the wrong gift. Whats going on?Gift buying has become a selfish deed. We dont actually look for things people w
21、ant to receive. Instead, and too many of our gifts harm, we tend to look for things that we want to give. Its a subtle (微妙的), but pretty significant problem. Research has shown that givers tend to value the gifts they buy considerably more than receivers. Gifts are valued about 10 to 33 percent less

In other words, people let their giftgiving egos (自我) get in the way of great presents. Especially when the receiver is someone

Steffels latest research, which focuses on gift card giving, points to exactly this point that versatility (多用途) is the key to
26、better gift giving. 参考范文：Many people buy wrong gifts, because they buy what they want to give, instead of what the receivers prefer.(要点1) The value of the gifts is based on givers consideration rather than receivers. (要点2)The thoughtful present might be the worst. (要点3)So we should buy gifts that allow for versatility, which is the key to better gift giving. (要点4)
