【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：本文讲述父母常常记得儿女的生日，而儿女很少记得父母的生日。但作者的儿子给他意外的惊喜。

1.that。考查强调句。强调结构为It is + 强调部分 + that …，这里强调主语the act itself rather than the thing you buy。是行动本身，而不是你买的东西有意义。

2.However。考查副词。根据后句I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student.可以这里为转折。然而，我从来没有收到过我儿子的任何礼物，他是一名大学生。

3.forgetful。考查形容词。这里用形容词作表语。父母从不会忘记庆祝孩子的生日，但孩子们看起来非常健忘。

4.met。考查时态。根据前后句时态可知用一般过去时。句意：当儿子暑假回来，通常，妻子和我到车站去接他。

5.to。考查短语固定搭配。这里考查短语to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是。句意：一回到家，令我很惊讶的是，他拿出了一个腕表给我。

6.saying。考查非谓语动词。这里用现在分词saying作伴随状语。句意：他拿出了一个腕表给我，说它是我生日礼物。

7.which。考查定语从句。这里考查非限定性定语从句，先行词为watch，故用which。句意：它是一款非常时尚的手表，不仅显示时、分、秒，也显示日期。

8.It。考查主语从句。It作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式to have such concerns and worries。这里表示：你是一个大懦夫。

9.9】expected。考查短语的固定搭配。这里考查固定短语as expected如预料的一样。但事情并非我们所预料的那样糟。

10.10】the。考查冠词。修饰形容词最高级，用定冠词the。句意：生命是一个永远无法得到最好的课堂。
