    參考答案及解析:
    1.celebrating--celebrated.根據(jù)意思可以判斷這里用的是celebrate的被動(dòng)意義，“被人們慶祝的”。
    2.the--/.“在大部分信奉基督教的地方”用in most of Christianworld，most在此處不是最高級(jí)，前面不需要定冠詞。
    3.on--at.on Christmas中的介詞on應(yīng)改為at。at Christmas是固定搭配。
    4.rises--arises.這里文中想要表達(dá)的意思是交換禮物是由于人們過生日時(shí)的傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生的，而固定搭配arise from正是“因某事物而產(chǎn)生、造成、引起”。如：Are there any matters arising from the theminutes of the last meeting?
    5.^time--a.time在這里的意思是“時(shí)刻”，所以做可數(shù)名詞用，因此前面要用不定冠詞，指“一個(gè)……的時(shí)刻”。其實(shí)下文中This is also a time for celebration with family.已經(jīng)間接給出答案了。
    6.out--outside;out^--of.out是副詞不是介詞，所以不能用在名詞the houses前面，outside是介詞，用在此處表示“在家外面”。
    7.Therefore--However.根據(jù)上下文判定，這里應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折的銜接關(guān)系，而不是因果關(guān)系。
    8.on--in.在某個(gè)季節(jié)應(yīng)該用介詞in。
    9.goes--runs.根據(jù)上下文的意思，這里是說“貫穿于這些節(jié)日的一條主線”，固定搭配run through可表達(dá)這個(gè)意思，而go through的用法中沒有此項(xiàng)含義。
    10.behind^--it.behind 在此處作介詞用，后面需要一個(gè)成分，所以用指示代詞it指代前面的festivalor holiday。
