【解析】这是戴夫写给李磊的一封书信，信中介绍了自己去加拿大看望祖父母的一些情况。祖父母与当数学老师的叔叔生活在一起，戴夫也在那里学习英语，结交了很多朋友，并重点介绍了自己的好友鲍伯。

1.句意：我在加拿大看望祖父母很愉快。have a good time (in) doing sth. 表示“做某事很开心”，结合句意可知，答案为C。

2.句意：他花很多时间做他的工作，所以他每天都很忙。三个答案都有“花费”的意思，take常用于It takes sb. some time to do sth. spend用于spend some time doing sth. 而pay用于pay for句型中，故答案为B。

3.句意：我在这里学习英语，我学到了很多东西。a lot of=lots of为形容词词组，修饰名词；a lot为副词词组，修饰动词，故答案为A。

4.句意：他个子高，不戴眼镜。wear为动词，否定动词要借助doesn’t，故答案为C。

5.句意：这里很放松。此句是系表结构，缺少形容词，A. relax为动词形式；B. relaxed为形容词，常用来修饰人；C. relaxing也是形容词，常用来修饰物。故答案为C。
