【解析】短文属于说明文。介绍了不同国家庆祝情人节的方式。
1.holiday是celebrate动作的承受者,因此使用被动语态。
2.前句意思是“每个国家的庆祝方式不同”,后句意思是“风俗习惯不同”。后面表示原因,因此使用because。
3.在某一天前,介词使用on。
4.anyone是先行词,后面是定语从句修饰它,挖空部分指人,且做从句的主语,因此使用who做关系代词,。
5.前面谈到美国,后面谈到日本;再根据后面的too,可以确定是并列关系,用连词and连接两个并排的事情。
6.前面已经提到一种礼物Chocolate,这里提到其他的礼物,可加副词“也”,用在be动词和实意动词之间,选择also。
7.这里谈到美国和日本在送礼物时的区别,因此用difference;与后面is保持一致,用单数形式。
8.此处的give做only girls and women的谓语,表示一般情况,使用一般现在时,因此使用动词原形。
9.此处代替boys and girls,修饰friends,因此使用物主代词their。
10.从最后一句可知:喜欢在美国当女人;由此可推测:在美国女人得到的礼物比男人的贵。根据than可知,本句使用比较级。expensive 前面加more构成比较级。
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!”
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.
The child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she pulled her mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer(癌症), you said, we can get through anything!”
The crowd(人群) became silent. Nothing could be heard but the rain. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom thought for a moment about what she would say.
“Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we’ll just need to get a wash,” Mom said.
Then off they ran. People all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and through the puddles(水坑).
They held their shopping bags over their heads. They got wet through. But they were followed by a few who laughed like children all the way to their cars.
People can take away your money and health. But no one can ever take away your memories….So don’t forget to make time to make memories every day.

We can see walls everywhere in the world. But the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all. The Chinese call it. “The Ten-thousand-Li. Great Wall.” It’s in fact (事实) more than 6,000 kilometers long.
