【解析】短文屬于說明文。介紹了不同國家慶祝情人節(jié)的方式。

1.holiday是celebrate動作的承受者,因此使用被動語態(tài)。

2.前句意思是“每個國家的慶祝方式不同”,后句意思是“風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣不同”。后面表示原因,因此使用because。

3.在某一天前,介詞使用on。

4.anyone是先行詞,后面是定語從句修飾它,挖空部分指人,且做從句的主語,因此使用who做關(guān)系代詞,。

5.前面談到美國,后面談到日本;再根據(jù)后面的too,可以確定是并列關(guān)系,用連詞and連接兩個并排的事情。

6.前面已經(jīng)提到一種禮物Chocolate,這里提到其他的禮物,可加副詞“也”,用在be動詞和實意動詞之間,選擇also。

7.這里談到美國和日本在送禮物時的區(qū)別,因此用difference;與后面is保持一致,用單數(shù)形式。

8.此處的give做only girls and women的謂語,表示一般情況,使用一般現(xiàn)在時,因此使用動詞原形。

9.此處代替boys and girls,修飾friends,因此使用物主代詞their。

10.從最后一句可知:喜歡在美國當女人;由此可推測:在美國女人得到的禮物比男人的貴。根據(jù)than可知,本句使用比較級。expensive 前面加more構(gòu)成比較級。
