W: Choosing the perfect present for your loved ones can be stressful, especially for that special someone. What do women really think of the gifts they receive? Joining us today to talk about how she interprets your gifts is the editor in chief of Askmen. com, James Smith. Good morning, James. Good to see you.
M: Nice to see you.
W: We know this is one of those websites for a few men. And if you got any questions about being a man, basically you can go there, right?
M: Yes, we have the answers to all questions that guys have.
W: All questions?
M: Yeah. We have run seven million readers a month. And we deal with advice in every area that could be of interest to guys. So…
W: And who is giving out the advice, men or women?
M: Ah, as for the most parts, men. Most of our writers and editors are men, but when it comes to the dating stuff, we’d like to get women’s point of view in there too, because they know what they want. Right?
W: It’s important, right? So if you got a question you’re afraid to ask your wife or your girlfriend, go to the website. While we mention this whole thing about interpreting gifts, what’s that all about?
M: Well, if you think about giving your girlfriend two gifts that she knows she could get, so you can bet that she is thinking about that and she is painting some build-up to it. So once she receives it, you wanna make sure you delivered it and you’d better meet the expectations that she generated.
W: Got you, very good. Okay, let’s come to the possible gifts for Christmas. The one women seem to like most is brand jewelry. Is that a safe bet?
M: Yes. It can be a safe bet, and in an established relationship it can be a very safe bet. I specify "established" because if you do it too early in a relationship, that’s gonna send a message that you might not wanna give, or she might not wanna get. It symbolizes the commitment (承诺) and it’s a serious gift. If you do it a little too early, it might create some miscommunication.
W: What if it’s just subtle jewel? Maybe something golden or a little golden-looking, you know, a little more low-key.
M: Yes, I think you want to be generally subtle and a little discreet (谨慎的) about it. Don’t just depend on the value of it, but most importantly, tailor for her. Make sure that it’s in keeping with her tastes.
W: So if you’ve been going out only for a couple of months, do not rush out to the jewelry store.
M: Yes. Get back from the jewelry store. You are gonna scare her off.
W: Perfume, another logical gift.
M: Yeah, that’s it.
W: All right, great to see you.
M: Thank you.

答案 D

解析 根据原文可知,男嘉宾认为,礼物是否合适不仅仅取决于其本身的价值,更重要的是要为女友置身而定,即要确保所送礼物符合她的品味。男嘉宾认为,如果只是和女友交往了几个月,不要冲向珠宝首饰店。由前文可知,在固定交往阶段可以送品牌珠宝首饰给女友,而在最初阶段送就很可能会被拒绝。可见送女友礼物要根据她的品味和两人的交往阶段来选择,因此答案为D。
