【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(dòng)作的承受者，因此使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

2.前句意思是“每個(gè)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(gè)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(dòng)詞和實(shí)意動(dòng)詞之間，選擇also。

7.這里談到美國和日本在送禮物時(shí)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(shí)，因此使用動(dòng)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(dāng)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(jí)。expensive 前面加more構(gòu)成比較級(jí)。

They held their shopping bags over their heads. They got wet through. But they were followed by a few who laughed like children all the way to their cars.
