22、ses head and heart. Were all able to do this; in fact, were born with a kind of natural empathy.

This can show

23、 in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional（情感的）qualities.Think back to the presents youve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, you thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.
