.that .為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“如此以至于”。故填that。3of句意：他夢(mèng)想?yún)⒓颖荣惒⑶耀@勝。dream of doing sth.為固定搭配，意為“夢(mèng)想做某事”。4a根據(jù)空格后的“guitar”可知，“我”在桌子上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一把漂亮的吉他；此處泛指“一把吉他”。故填a。5saying此處指在吉他旁邊有一張卡片，上面寫著“祝漂亮的媽媽生日快樂”；card和say之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。故填saying。6joked根據(jù)該句中的“remembered”可知，該句陳述的是過去的事情，應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。故填joked。7had forgotten根據(jù)該句中的“but my son remembered”可知，“我”的兒子記得這件事情；這件事情應(yīng)是在“我”兒子想起之前“我”已經(jīng)忘記了，故用過去完成時(shí)。故填had forgotten。8seriously根據(jù)空格前的動(dòng)詞“took”可知，空格處修飾該動(dòng)詞，故用副詞seriously，此外take sth.seriously為固定搭配。9how空格處引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，指當(dāng)“我”想知道兒子是怎樣買到這把昂貴的吉他的時(shí)候。故用how引導(dǎo)該賓語(yǔ)從句。10to get兒子賣掉了他的賽車，給“我”買了這把吉他。空格處作目的狀語(yǔ)，故用動(dòng)詞不定式。故填to get。distinguish vi.&

Dr.Benn，a psychologist explains.“They may ignore criticism because they wish to avoid having to change，or because it makes them feel bad，or because they feel it is not helpful.”Ask questionsIf youre
