试题分析：本文讲了在婴儿出生前举行婴儿派对和给孩子取名的一些事情。
小题1:句意：尽管这种派对不喜爱那个过去那么经常，但是它是一个高兴的时刻。空后面有than，此处需要比较级，故填less。

小题3:根据空后面是relatives，可推知前面应该是亲密的朋友，故填friends。

小题5:根据空前面有定冠词the，可知此处应填序数词，故填first。

小题7:句意：如果人们送给朋友婴儿派对礼物，在孩子出生时就不必再送另一个礼物。故填another。
小题8:句意：通常在孩子出生前，名字已经被选择了，通过再争论、改变，又一遍遍地争论，最后达成一致。此句是被动语态，故填chosen。

小题10:the boy or the girl名词单数做主语，故填has。

举一反三

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process(过程). Here is a story to tell you why.
One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.
The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The box was full soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging!”
The boy’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working.
Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.
小题1: Is achieving what you expect the most important thing in the passage?
小题2: When did the little boy decide to dig a hole behind his house?
小题3:Why did the older boys begin to laugh at the little boy?
小题4: What did the boy find in the process of digging?
小题5: What does the writer want to tell us?

There was a man. He had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest(探索)in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was far away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly ,bent and weak. The second son said no---it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said it was ripe and drooping（下垂）with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.. The man then said to his sons that they were all right, because they each had seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season, and that the essence(本质) of who they are---- the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life---can only be measured at the end （盖棺论定）,when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it is in winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one destroy the joy of all the rest.
小题1:Why did the man sent his sons each on a quest?
小题2:When did the fourth son go?
小题3:What did the third son say when they came back?
小题4: Did the man agree with all of his sons?
小题5:Which season will you miss If you give up when it is in winter?
