Thank-you cards--heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness— seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human interaction.
Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette(礼节) of thank- you notes has not. While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons. And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible than June, the month of brides and graduations, and the beginning of summer parties. "It’s a must-do thing. A real thank you does not come by e-mail. They come in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read," said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.
Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes--any handwritten correspondence, for that matter--have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity in this e-hyper world. Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance(复兴).
More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring. "They’re more important now than ever," expert Peter Post says. "You’re building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge when someone has done something nice for you. " The payoff(回报), Post says, can be huge. "It will continue indefinitely," he says. "The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it’s a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in. " [br] According to Peter Post, by writing a thank-you card______.
选项
A、you express that you are obeying rules of etiquette
B、you show that you are caring for other people
C、you acknowledge that you have a relationship with others
D、you display your gratitude for what people have done for you
答案
D
解析
关键提示是第四段中第四句“...is that you acknowledge when someone has done something nice for you”。第四段指出:除了是一种礼节以外,致谢卡还代表着关切。Peter Post认为写致谢卡很重要,人们通过卡片在建立一种联系,而这种联系的一部分就是对他人为你所做的事情表示感谢。此处的acknowledge为:express or display gratitude for or appreciation of,即表示感激或欣赏之意,故选D)。选项A写致谢卡表示你遵守礼节不符合题意。选项B写致谢卡表示你喜欢或正照料他人不符合文章意思,选项C写致谢卡表示你承认与别人有染当然也不符合文章的意思。
