　　这道题目的立场都是比较中立的，所以考生选择哪一个都无所谓，只要能够列出三个理由展开文章就可以了。选择买珠宝可以说珠宝比较保值，“钻石恒久远一颗永流传”，或是珠宝更有实用性，以后可以经常戴着等等;选择去音乐会则可以用艺术是无价的，或是音乐会现场体验更好，表演者最后一次谢幕演出非常珍贵等等。总之要能够给出可以自圆其说的理由就行了。

　　It seems not a difficult decision for me. But if I was given the gift of money in different time, I would have different answers. If I was given the money when I was in my high school, I would buy a ticket to a concert. I had been longing for attending concerts of famous artists to enjoy those transcendent pieces such as saxophone of Kenny G. Unfortunately I just was not able to afford those exorbitant prices. The given amount should be better if it is enough for several tickets so that I could take along my best friends, whose situations were much similar to mine. If I was given the money when I was in the university, I would buy a fine piece of jewelry, and give it to my girl friend as a casual present, for we might enjoy a certain concert, but hardly could it be permanently impressive. Memories are always not reliable. We tend to simply forget anything— at best, memories are somewhat distorted—if time past long enough. But if I bought my girl friend a piece of jewelry, not costly though it might be, it would be a perfect reminder, being never changed. If I was given the money recently, it would only make me feel funny. I don't want to go to concerts anymore, because I became more and more reluctant to present in crowd public places, and besides, I have bought a super Hi-Fi which always brings me identical pleasure. And I don't want to buy any jewelry either, for it is meaningless for a man who is now solitary. Nevertheless, if I was forced to accept some money as a gift—it hardly happens—I might buy some books, after all, reading always makes me relaxed and amazed.
