【解析】

试题分析：本文是讲的是作者与女儿3岁时候的故事，那个时候，作者经济挺困难的，看到女儿在装饰一个盒子想要挂在圣诞树上，他更加的生气，第二天，女儿把她装饰好的盒子送给父亲，可是当作者发现盒子是空的时候，他就骂了自己女儿，后来女儿解释说盒子里面并不是空的，里面吹满了自己对父亲的爱，作者顿时后悔不已，很多年过去了，每当作者受挫折不被鼓舞的时候，都会把当年女儿送给自己的盒子拿出来看看。

1.and\so考查连词和副词。前半句说钱很紧张，后半句说当发现女儿试图在装饰一个盒子他变得很生气，前后两句属于并列关系或者因果关系，因此此空可填连词and“和”，或者填副词so“因此”。故填and\so。

2.to put考查to的用法。这里是想说父亲变得很生气，看到女儿努力地在装饰一个盒子想要挂在圣诞树上，空格处后的短语做目的状语，因此这里需加上介词to表目的。故填to put。

3.brought考查动词时态。这里整篇文章讲述的是过去的一件事，因此时态要用一般过去时，因此此空也需要用动词的过去时态。故填brought。

4.the考查冠词。因为第一段…child tried to decorate a box已经提到这个盒子，且这个盒子对于父亲和女儿而言双方都是知道的，因此此空需用定冠词the表特指。故填the。

5.stating考查动名词。根据语法分析，形容词性物主代词her后接名词，这里her+名词做宾语，动词state不可以做名词，因此需把它变成动名词stating。故填stating。

6.something考查不定代词。根据语法及语义分析，此空需填一个不定代词来指代盒子里面不确定的东西，句意：难道你不知道，当你送礼物给一个人的时候，盒子里面应该要放上一些东西的吗？因此综合考虑something最符合题意。故填something。

7.with考查介词with的用法。句意：这个小女孩看着父亲，眼里含着泪珠，根据语法分析tears in her eyes and…是做伴随状语，因此这里需填with，with可引导伴随状语。故填the。

8.forgiveness考查名词。根据语法分析，her+名词一起做介词for的宾语，而forgive是动词，因此需用其动名词形式。故填forgiveness。

9.of考查介词。the life与the child都是名词，根据语法分析，这两者之间是所属关系，即这个孩子的生活，因此可知这里需填介词of表示…的…。故填of。

10.
