Parents sometimes learn much from their children.
Many years ago, a  1  my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h  2  after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter was decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w  3  money and became angry with her. He even p  4  his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尴尬) by his overreaction (过激反应), but he became angry a  5  when he found the box was empty.
He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s  6  inside it?”
The little girl looked up at him with t  7  in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l  8  . All for you, Daddy.”
The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s  9   to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r  10   the love of the child.

短文叙述了一个父亲和三岁女儿的感人故事。女儿用昂贵包装纸装饰一个盒子，被父亲视为浪费而遭受惩罚。后来，女儿把这个盒子作为圣诞礼物送给父亲，当父亲发现是个空盒子的时候，又怒喝女儿。原来盒子里装的是女儿的爱，父亲被感动了。好多年了，这个盒子一直伴随着他。
小题1:David日夜工作却不富裕，前后意思转折，用连词although可表示“虽然，尽管”之意。    
小题2:根据上下文，是下班回到家的意思 。     
小题3:前面已经点明他不富裕。再根据上一句中的“with some expensive wrapping paper”，可以推测出：被父亲认为是在浪费钱。此动作正在进行，用waste的现在分词形式。
小题4:通过“by beating her”的方式，说明父亲生气后惩罚了女儿。 
小题5:根据整个过程，嫌女儿浪费钱，父亲生过气；看到空盒子，父亲是又一次生气了。
小题6:该句是“There be…” 结构。某处有“某物”。      
小题7:根据上下文，女儿很委屈，在解释时，眼睛里含的是“眼泪”。
小题8:根据上一句话“I blew kisses in the box.” 和短文最后一段，可推测出，盒子里装满了“女儿的爱”。  
小题9:父亲感动了，知道自己误解了女儿，拥抱女儿时，最可能的是说的是sorry。
小题10:上一句话中提到父亲多年来一直保存这个盒子，盒子里装满了女儿的爱，父亲永远记得。
