試題分析：這篇短文主要講述慈善活動(dòng)。文章介紹，由于孩子們的長(zhǎng)大，臥室逐漸變小，需要拍賣(mài)一些物品以免占據(jù)空間。文章還介紹了作者一家在庭院拍賣(mài)活動(dòng)中對(duì)各自拍賣(mài)物品的情感態(tài)度。
小題1:根據(jù)下文My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger---的描述可知，這里指的是孩子們長(zhǎng)得很塊。結(jié)合所給詞匯，可知應(yīng)填growing，grow up：長(zhǎng)大。
小題2:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里指的是隨著孩子們的逐漸長(zhǎng)大，臥室視乎變得越來(lái)越小了。結(jié)合所給詞匯，可知應(yīng)填smaller。
小題3:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是作者他們想把拍賣(mài)得來(lái)的錢(qián)捐給兒童之家。故填children’s，children’s home：兒童之家。
小題4:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里指的是作者一家決定拍賣(mài)5件他們不再需要的東西。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里應(yīng)填decide的過(guò)去分詞形式decided，表示現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。
小題5:聯(lián)系下文Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them的描述可知，這里指的是作者的兒子對(duì)自己的玩具很有感情，不想拍賣(mài)，所以顯得非常傷心。故填sad。
小題6:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是“四歲生日”。表示幾歲生日應(yīng)用序數(shù)詞，故應(yīng)填four的序數(shù)詞形式fourth，。
小題7:根據(jù)下文的“every night”，并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是作者的兒子每晚都伴著玩具猴一起入睡。由于這是敘述過(guò)去的事情，應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故應(yīng)填slept。
小題8:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里指的是作者的女兒對(duì)放棄某些玩具也感到傷心。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填certain，表示某種不確切的東西。
小題9:根據(jù)下文I did not want to give up my football shirts的描述可知，這里是針對(duì)作者自己的情感描述。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填me，as for me：對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)。
小題10:根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，這里是表達(dá)個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，“說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)”之意，故應(yīng)填honest，to be honest是習(xí)慣用法，有“實(shí)話(huà)實(shí)說(shuō)”、“誠(chéng)實(shí)地說(shuō)”之意。
