分析 本文主要讲述作者在圣诞节前为孩子们购买圣诞礼物时，因信用卡不能使用，后面又排着很长的队，其他的顾客很是生气，排在作者后面的一位男士为作者付了全部的货款．作者表示不能接受，告诉对方以后还给他，但对方拒绝了，说：告诉你们孩子们圣诞老人说"圣诞快乐"．
解答 61．extremely 考查副词．anxious是形容词，要用副词修饰．
62．what 考查连词．want是及物动词，用what作其宾语，同时引导宾语从句．
63．shocked 考查过去分词．过去分词作表语，多半用来表示人物所处的心理状态或情感变化，其主语多半是人．
64．angry 考查形容词．本句为主系表结构，应用形容词作表语．
65．items 考查名词复数．item是可数名词，根据上下文语境可知，为三个孩子购买的物品，要用复数形式．
66．in 考查固定搭配．in demand意为"非常需要的； 受欢迎的"，是固定搭配．
67．the 考查冠词．此处特指别的生气的其他顾客，用定冠词the．
68．before 考查连词．根据句意：在我能够再次尝试刷我的卡之前．用连词before．
69．was paid 考查时态和语态．根据语境可知，此句应用一般过去时态；又因主语Christmas与pay之间是动宾关系，用一般过去时的被动语态．
70．to give 考查动词不定式．refuse to do sth．意为"拒绝做某事"，refuse后接动词不定式作宾语．
