【解析】本文讲述了红包的来历和含义。

【1】考查形容词。句意：红包因为它的传统象征性和对美好未来的期望意义而深受欢迎。形容词修饰名词，故填traditional。

【2】考查副词。句意：在中国红包很受欢迎，尤其在南方。especially的意思是“尤其是”“特别是”，它一般是用于单词前或短语前。故填especially。

【3】考查介词。句意：人们收到红包作为新年吉祥的开始。regard...as...认为……是……。故填as。

【4】考查不定式。句意：南方的传说是，魔鬼出来会伤害儿童和老人。appear to do看起来像。故填to harm。

【5】考查连词。句意：爆竹发出的巨大声响和春节期间的对联也会吓跑魔鬼。但是不可能整天放炮。与上文是转折关系，故填But。

【6】考查非谓语动词。句意：老人和孩子得到包着现金的红包。这里考查独立主格结构，名词red envelope和contain是主谓结构，故用现在分词。故填containing。

【7】考查动词时态。句意：这一传统已经有千年历史了。强调对现在造成的结果和影响，故用现在完成时。故填has survived。

【8】考查名词单复数。句意：传统是老板给雇员红包。谓语动词give是复数，注意主语“老板们”也要用复数，故填bosses。

【9】考查关系副词。句意：公司也采用了在网络上分发红包的营销策略。空格后是定语从句，先行词为online，在从句中作地点状语。故填where。

【10】考查代词。句意：老板希望他们的公司和员工有一个好的开始。主语为bosses，故用第三人称they的形容词性物主代词their，故填their。
