【解析】

试题分析：文章主要介绍了不同国家庆祝生日的不同方式，尤其在马德里人们庆祝生日的方式是拉寿星的耳朵，在东京六十岁生日意味着新生活的开始，在北京作者妈妈为他煮长寿面条来庆祝。

【1】句意：Sandy来自马德里。根据固定搭配：come from,来自，结合主语为单数第三人称，谓语动词应该使用单数形式。故用comes。

【2】句意：为了庆祝我的生日，他们会拉我的耳朵21次，一次代表一年。根据首字母，结合上文21times，推知此处需要表示一次的单词，故用once。

【3】句意：在日本，第六十岁的生日被叫做“Kanreki”意思是新生活的开始。根据首字母，结合常识，六十岁为新生活的“开始”，故用beginning。

【4】句意：或许我还能收到来自我们家庭成员装在信封里面的压岁钱。根据固定搭配：family members，家庭成员，故用members。

【5】句意：我妈妈将会煮面条，面条代表长寿。根据首字母，结合常识，过生日经常和长寿面，故用long。
