When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy 小题1: matters. Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 小题2: , I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 小题3: (forget).They seldom do something in return.Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 小题4: (meet) him at the station. On arriving home, much 小题5: my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 小题6: (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 小题7: shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. 小题8: is natural for people to have such concerns and worries, but things may not turn out as badly as 小题9: (expect).We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, “Life is 小题10: best classroom one can never get.”

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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。 小题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。
