解析：
16.B。
从下文作者提议进行棋赛，可知“女儿一直不停地邀请我和她下棋”。
17 D。
接受“我”的建议，用accept。
18 C。
从下文“女儿睡觉要到了”可知“女儿问我是否可以把棋子走快一点”。
19.B。
need to do需要做没事。从上文的at nine o’clock和下文的she had to get up at six in the morning可知女儿需要早睡。
20.A
know知道，清楚；learn学会，了解到（从别人那儿间接知道）。
21.C
从上下文可知语意在此转折。女儿需要睡觉了，可“我”却认为女儿能否改变一下这些严格的作息时间。
22.D。
put up挂起；take up从事，占据；pick up捡起，拾起；give up放弃。
23.D。
as usual像往常一样；go ahead开始做，着手干； by the way顺便问一下；come on加把劲，加油，得了吧。只有come on符合语境，因为他们玩得正高兴，“我”不希望这么早就结束比赛，希望女儿再呆一会儿，和自己多下几局。
24.C。
从上文要求女儿再多呆一会儿可知“因为正在兴头上”，不愿结束比赛。We’re having fun我们玩得正高兴。
25.C。
“我”要求女儿多呆一会儿以陪自己多下几局棋，耽搁了女儿的睡觉时间，故女儿看起来有点“焦急，着急”。
句意是“如果你要下好棋，你就要下慢一些”。只有well符合句意。
27 B。
句意是“我们又继续下了另外10分钟”。
28. D。
nervously紧张地；immediately立刻；strangely奇怪地；suddenly突然。
29. B。
句意是“直到女儿放声大哭并且承认自己被打败”。只有admit符合句意。
30. A。
make a mistake犯错；make a decision做决定；make an attempt企图，尽力；make an effort努力。从下文的So I had to change可知我犯了一个错。
31. D。
与第一段开始句子One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter相呼应。
32. C。
allow sb./sth. to do允许……做……。作者本打算借和女儿下棋搞好父女关系，结果却让求胜的私心占据了。
33. A。
important重要的；attractive引人注目得；practical实际的，实用的；interesting有趣的。求胜的私欲变得比良好的父女关系更重要。故只有important符合句意。
34. B。
offer提供；serve服务，对……有用；control控制；teach教。语意是“我小时候求胜心就很强”。
35. A。
“作为人父，我意识到这种求胜私欲挡住了父女关系的发展，我必须得改”，故realize符合题意。
