解析：

(1)	整体理解第一段。从后文可以看出，在这一天“我”生日，所以父亲要给“我”一枚新便士作为礼物。
(2)	从第一段整体的思路来看，父亲不是直接把这个便士送给“我”，而是要试探“我”的看法，“我”觉得有兴趣他才会给“我”。因此他不断地拿出来，假装看上面的日期，实际上是想引起“我”的注意。
(3)	同上所述，是想让“我”注意到这枚新便士。
(4)	同第二题所述，父亲要等到“我”主动显示出兴趣。
(5)	同第二题所述，父亲在等 “我”主动显示出兴趣，即这个便士是“我”想要，受到“我”喜爱的。
(6)	父亲最终先对“我”表示：想要的话就拿去。这里have是实义动词“拥有”。
(7)	“我”只是说了声谢谢，并没有多说话，因为“我”还跟父亲较着劲，不愿意让他看出“我”其实很想要这个便士。
(8)	拿到钱，“我”就向商店走去，后面也说出了“我”特别想买一桶爆米花。
(9)	从后文可以看出，虽然爆米花对“我”来说极其诱人，但是一想到这光灿灿的一个便士就要被扔进店老板装钱的抽屉里，再也见不到了，“我”开始犹豫了。
(10)	同上题所述，“我”舍不得的是这枚崭新的一便士。
(12)	想到这些，“我”犹豫了，也就放慢了脚步。
(13)	从提供的答案来看，之后sat“坐”在路上是符合生活逻辑的。
(14)	坐下来，实际上就是把早先要买爆米花的决定推迟了。
(15)	后面有“深深地”，当然应该是“埋”进沙子里。
(16)	“我”刚才是坐在地上，埋好一便士后，就站起来，绕着埋钱的地方走了一圈。rise有“站起来”的含义。
(17)	折腾了几次之后，终于把那一便士弄没了。句子开头的alas是个感叹词，表示惊讶、急切的心情，显然，便士丢了才会这样。
(18)	“我”弄丢了便士，连急带难过地就睡着了，天都快黑了，家里人才找到“我”。见到“我”是他们一定很兴奋，而不是害怕、惊讶或失望。
(19)	从一开始“我”就要在父亲面前装“酷”，想表现得自己并不在乎这一个便士。可实际上“我”很在乎，现在钱丢了“我”特别难过。于是觉得让父亲发现“我”实际很在乎这钱是可耻的，那样“我”会很没面子。
(20)	这当然是一个小孩子的幼稚的想法办出来的傻事。
