  导读当我们还是孩子的时候，我们认为装在小盒子里面的礼物不贵重。其实，这个世界向我们展示它的财富不只是存在 于像星球那样的大东西里，也存在于一些小的事物中。

详析

1. B句意:礼物盒子越大，我们越是想要。动词want与上文中描述“孩子喜欢大盒子装礼物” 一致。

2. A 宾语从句“what a large gift package holds inside”意为

“大盒子里面的礼物是什么”，这是每一个孩子都感到 好奇的事情。因此此处为动词wonder ,意为“想知 道”。

3. D孩子们晃动礼物盒子，要是听到里面没有响声，他们会认为里面的礼物是衣服。因此此处填写sound。

4. B孩子们都喜欢玩具，由此可知，如果是衣服的话，他们很失望。

disappointed意为“失望的”。

5. D由下文描述“珠宝都是装在小盒子里”判断，作者认为贵重礼物都是装在小的盒子里。因此small符合作者 的观点。

6. A该句描述的是钻石的价值，因此priceless“无价的”符合对它的描述。

7. C父母都把自己的孩子看作宝贝。这是一种人性化的情感倾向，因此personally符合语境^

8. C家长送给孩子的礼物，无论是什么，都包含着对孩子的爱。因此破折号后面的总结应该用名词love。

9. D本文描述的是:生命中我们会遇到各种人。因此动词meet符合这一细节。

10. A对一个人的认识应该是先初步了解，然后是深人了解。因此连词用before。
