做这道补全短文题，首先要先通读全文，理清故事主线：周六是Henry妈妈的生日，Henry为妈妈准备生日礼物的完整过程，先整体把握生日相关的记叙文语境。接下来逐空结合前后文提示、逻辑关系和已学的固定搭配推导答案：
1. 第一空后文提到送礼物、吃生日蛋糕，可推出这里指妈妈的39岁生日；
2. 第二空后文提到他先后去服装店、花店，目的是给妈妈选购红色的礼物，对应buy sth for sb的常用搭配；
3. 第三空前半句说店里有很多连衣裙，后半句说没有红色连衣裙，前后是转折逻辑，对应转折连词；
4. 第四空指代前文提到的单数名词花店，用代词it即可；
5. 第五空对应“因某物感谢某人”的固定搭配thank sb for sth；
6. 第六空后文提到要把内容分享到网上，对应“给某人拍照”的take a photo/picture of搭配；
7. 第七空对应“在晚上”的固定表达in the evening；

2. 第二空：前文说明Henry想给喜欢红色的妈妈准备礼物，后文他先后前往服装店、花店，可知他想给妈妈买红色的物品，固定搭配buy sth. for sb. 意为“给某人买某物”，填buy。
3. 第三空：前半句“店里有很多种类的连衣裙”，后半句“那里没有红色的连衣裙”，前后语义转折，用转折连词but。
4. 第四空：前文提到Henry去了一家花店，这里指代前文的单数名词a flower shop，用代词it，句意为“花店里的红玫瑰看起来很漂亮”，填it。
5. 第五空：固定搭配thank sb. for sth. 意为“因某物感谢某人”，这里指妈妈收到红玫瑰后向Henry道谢，填for。
6. 第六空：后文提到要把相关内容分享到互联网上，可推知是给妈妈和红玫瑰拍一张照片，take a photo/picture of sb. 意为“给某人拍一张照”，photo和picture两个答案都符合要求。
7. 第七空：固定搭配in the evening 意为“在晚上”，是英语中的固定时间表达，填定冠词the。
8. 第八空：固定搭配have a good time 意为“玩得开心、度过愉快的时光”，完全符合语境，填time。

After lighting the candles, the person usually closes his or her eyes, makes a wish and then blows them out. The number of the candles is the same as the age of the person.
Do you know the history of the birthday cake? In earlier times, the Greeks made round or moon - shaped honey cakes. The cakes stood for the moon. Nowadays, some people think that the cake in the ancient world had something to do with the cycles of life and nature. Round shapes were preferred as the cycle. Also, some people believe that the tradition of the birthday cake started in Germany.
