解析：

(1)	由于这个小男孩对居住在这座房子里的人不太了解，所以敲门是感到应该是紧张或恐惧。同时，也只有这种理解才能解释空白前的Sweat(出汗)。
(2)	根据文章最后提到的老人的变化，我们可以看出这位老人原来“很少”出门。
(3)	等待了一会儿，发现没有人开门，小孩只能“走开”。而不是B(破门而入)。
(4)	根据本句后面的if you would like to buy…，可以得出答案。
(5)	I was wondering属于固定表达，通常用于较委婉地提出问题。
(6)	本题考查代词。这个小孩不可能只卖一份杂志，所以只能选one。
(7)	老人对小孩所说的话反应比较冷漠，只“看了一眼”，并没有回答。
(8)	collect：收集。A项的意思是“养”，其实我们知道老人并不是真正养狗，而是收集狗的雕像。
(9)	本句前半部分说明了小孩为老人感到“sorry”，应该是因为看到他很“孤独”。
(10)	一本面对“collectors”的杂志对老人来说当然很适合了。
(11)	老人对小孩所说的根本不感兴趣，所以“冷冷地”拒绝了。
(13)	idea表示“注意”。A项指的是对某事物的正误，美丑等观点；C表示“决心”；D表示“思想”。
(14)	此处与文章的倒数第二句呼应。
(15)	从下一句可以看出小孩又回去了。
(16)	老人以为小孩又来卖杂志了。
(17)	gift表示礼物。B项表示玩具娃娃。
(18)	小孩把小雕像“递给”老人。
(19)	老人受到礼物，很高兴，刚才脸上的不耐烦就烟消云散了，有了精神。
(20)	老人问的是小孩为什么要这么做，我们可以从小孩的回答中得到暗示。
