（配点 50 点）
Everyone loves presents. Or do they? Before living in Japan, I probably would have said
( 1 ) with no *1hesitation, but now all I can say is, “Hmmm?”
I’ve often sensed a gap between my gift-giving habits and the Japanese customs. Once I
baked cookies for the staff at my Tokyo sports club. I was living alone then, and the warm
welcome I always got when I went to the club meant a lot to me. Baking cookies was my way ofgiving something back. But the moment I gave the gift, I sensed something ( 2 ). Instead ofsmiling as they accepted the cookies, the young women at the front desk seemed *2embarrassed
and uncomfortable. After that, they were never quite as friendly as before. I knew I had brokensome kind of social rule, but I had (P)［①what ②idea ③was ④no ⑤it］.
Perhaps the problem was that gift exchange is taken a lot more seriously (X)here than in
the US. Japanese business (a)etiquette says that after receiving a gift, you should always*3reciprocate by giving another gift back. So in giving a gift, however small, to the gym staff, I
put them in an *4awkward position because they couldn’t reciprocate. Of course in my mind,
they had already given me (i)the gift of kindness, and I was simply trying to say “Thanks!”
I’m not sure that *5interpretation is correct, but a recent experience makes me think it( 3 ) is. Not long ago I made cookies for some women I was working with at a new job, again
to show (b)appreciation. They helped me get used to the environment, and I wanted to dosomething in return. This time my gift was received with *6genuine smiles, so I felt good. But
the next time I went to work, they had a nice gift for me from a department store. Of course, I
appreciated the *7thoughtfulness but felt somehow as if my own gift had been *8misunderstood.
I’ve also tried out some Japanese gift-giving customs myself ―― again, with limited
success. I was (c)thrilled the first time someone knocked on my door, introduced himself as mynew neighbor, and handed me a simple, practical gift. How nice, I thought. In the US, it’susually the other way around: Some neighbors welcome new people to the neighborhood bytaking them something, usually home-baked *9goodies. But I wanted to try the Japanese way.
So the next time I moved, I knocked on my new neighbor’s door, introduced ( 4 ), andhanded over a small department store gift. What fun! The woman seemed nice, we exchanged afew pleasant words, and I went home feeling satisfied. Imagine my surprise when she and herfamily moved out the next week without even a goodbye!
Even if I wanted to follow all the gift exchange customs while living here, (Y)it would beimpossible. There are just too many and some are too different from my own culturalexpectations. Getting presents at a wedding is fun, but I always feel guilty when a gift comes inthe (d)mail after (Q)［①a funeral ②visiting ③to ④going ⑤or］ someone in the hospital. In allthese cases, it seems like I should be the one giving gifts, and in the US I would be. I might( 5 ) a thank-you card for the wedding gift I gave or for the flowers I sent to the funeral or-6-

took to the hospital, but never a return gift.
Now I know that even some Japanese choose not to follow all the “rules,” and it’s OK for
foreigners in Japan to (ii)do the same. Still, I enjoy the trial and error of learning about adifferent culture, and sometimes I even get it (e)right!
