    "Gift" comes from the old Germanic root for "to give". It meant an act of giving, and then turned into the thing being given. In Old English it meant the dowry(彩礼) given to a bride's parents. "Present" comes from French. A present is the thing presented or given. But from the 13^th century, the two words were in use for the idea of something given to others without paying.

    However, they still have some differences in meaning and usage.

    "Gift" has more meanings. Gifts can be talents. For example, you can have the art gift or a musical gift. Gifts can be invisible. There is the gift of understanding or the gift of a quiet day.

    But we don't use presents for things like this. Presents are real objects. If your whole family donated to pay for your college on your birthday, would you say "I got a lot of presents"? It doesn't exactly sound wrong, but since you never hold these donations in your hand, "gifts" seem to fit better.

    "Gift" can also act like an adjective to be put in front of another noun. What do you call this kind of shop where you can buy presents? A gift shop. What do you call the basket of presents that you can send to others? A gift basket. "Present" can't be used like this. We may have gift boxes and gift cards, not present boxes or present cards!

    "Gift" is used more often than "present" in modern English. "Present" also means "the time now".

    As the most important festival. Christmas is celebrated in many countries. People in America，Canada and the UK celebrate it in the same way. But have you ever wondered just how Christmas is celebrated in Poland，or in Austria?

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a night of magic. People think animals can talk with them. So they often lay out delicious food to treat animals. Then they have a big meal. The meal usually starts when the first star appears. There is no red meat served but fish. The supper, which includes many traditional dishes and desserts, can sometimes last for over two hours. It is followed by the exchange of gifts. The next day, the Christmas Day, is often spent visiting friends.

In Austria, celebrating Christmas is a tradition. As children in other countries, they get to welcome the Santa Claus. But they also have to face the bad ghost- Krampus. Santa Claus arrives on December 6 and gives toys and other presents to children. Krampus arrives on December 5. looking to punish all the bad children. Some local men also dress up like Krampus to warn the children to do better in the coming New Year.

    "Isn't he? And such wonderfully strong legs!"

But I am beginning to like him more than I cane for some of the toys that do wind up. I almost wish I were small again, so I could have this Elephant for myself!"

    "He is nice," admitted(承认)Angelina.

    "Well, I'm glad they like me," thought the Stuffed Elephant to himself, for just now he was not allowed to speak out loud or move around, as the Make Believe toys could do at certain times.

    "The delivery driver (送货员) has your food and is on his way. " This is a message you might receive after placing a takeout order. But in the near future, a self-driving car may bring food to your door instead of a human driver.

    Self-driving delivery services will help the development of the industry. But that doesn't mean that delivery drivers will lose their jobs. There are still some problems to work out. For example, self-driving cars can drive smoothly on cement (水泥) roads, but have problems driving on dirt roads. There are other safety-related problems that must also be solved before self-driving cars can be used.
