【解析】
本文为一篇说明文，讲述了饺子的历史以及饺子所带来的寓意。
【1】
考查形容词。句意：这里有一个关于这个传统食物的传说。food是一个名词，前面需要用形容词来修饰，所以要把tradition变成形容词词性。故填traditional。
【2】
考查非谓语动词。句意：西汉名医张仲景发现他的老乡们正在经历严寒和饥饿。这句话中所填的部分是宾语补足语，是要说明老乡们的状况。这里表达的含义是老乡们正在受冻挨饿，那么“发现某人正在做某事”我们用find sb doing sth这一结构。故填suffering。
【3】
考查副词。句意：更严重的是，他发现许多老乡耳朵还长了冻疮。在这里“更严重的是”是来修饰这整句话的，所以需要用副词形式。故填severely。
【4】
考查介词。句意：他用药物和其他抗寒原料做了一种叫饺儿的食物来喂养这些人，他们很快就康复了。这里表达的意思是用药材和抗寒食材来入菜，所以表达“用”我们使用介词with。故此题填with。
【5】
考查名词单复数。句意：现在，中国的南北方有着不同的习俗。there be句型中用了are，前面有different来表示不同的习俗，所以需要用复数形式。故填customs。
【6】
考查冠词。句意：现在饺子已经成为冬至这一节日的必需品。must表必需品是是可数名词，在这里表示泛着含义，且must是辅音音素开头。故填a。
【7】
考查连词。句意：如果那天你正好在中国，早点去餐厅，否则就没有饺子了。这里所要表达的含义是“否则”这个含义，所以我们用连词or或者otherwise，来构成“祈使句，or/otherwise+结果句”这一句型结构。故填or或者otherwise。
【8】
考查形容词比较级。句意：但是，在南方甜口的饺子更受欢迎。这里是隐含型的比较级，是和北方进行比较。和北方相比，南方更喜欢甜口的饺子。popular是一个多音节的形容词，所以它的比较级是加more。故此题填more popular。
【9】
考查时态语态。句意：在他们心目中，圆形的汤圆形状象征着家庭团聚。在这句话中，没有谓语动词所以symbolize要以谓语的形式出现。在这里象征着是经常性、长期性的动作，所以要用一般现在时。然后圆形和象征着是主动关系，且主语是单数。故填symbolizes。
【10】
考查名词。句意：此外，据说在一些地区，人们还吃羊肉、面条或喝冬酒来庆祝。句子意思是通过这些活动来进行庆祝。for是介词后面跟宾语构成介宾结构，所以用名词形式。故填celebration。

Before the flight:
Try to book a morning flight. If it is delayed or canceled, you have the rest of the day to make alternate planes. Make sure your child doesn’t wear any clothing that has his or her name on it, which would make it easier for a stranger to convince a child he can be trusted.
At the airport:
Make sure the flight attendants know that your child is traveling alone. Make sure that he or she will be seated in an area of the aircraft that’s convenient for attendants to keep an eye on — the very front of very back of the aircraft is ideal.
Register your child’s travel plans with the U. S. State Department, which can provide assistance in an emergency. This is a free service.
What to pack:
Cell phone: If your child doesn’t have a cell phone, buy him or her a pay-as-you-go phone at a cell phone retailer (零售店) so he or she has an easy form of communication for emergencies.
