【分析】
这道题分为两个语篇词汇填空题型，解题思路如下：1. 先通读A部分的短文，确定全文整体叙事时态为一般过去时，再结合每个空的句意，从给定的备选词中匹配语义，同时根据语法规则对单词进行适当变形，比如比较级、形容词化的分词等；2. 处理B部分的题目时，先结合中文提示写出对应基础词汇，再根据空格前后的搭配、名词单复数要求、代词形式等调整，同时注意句首单词首字母需要大写的细节，最后通读全文验证所有填入的内容是否通顺符合逻辑。
【解析】
34. 句意：但人们经常在背后谈论他的长发。全文叙事为一般过去时，给定短语talk about的过去式为talked about，符合语境。
35. 句意：他们不理解为什么他留头发留这么久。此处表达“留（头发）、保留”的含义，时态为一般过去时，keep的过去式为kept。
36. 句意：他希望自己的头发能长得更快更长。and并列前后同级的比较级，前面faster是副词比较级，long的比较级为longer，符合语义逻辑。
37. 句意：他去理发店把它剪短。此处指代前文提到的不可数名词hair，用代词it即可。
38. 句意：尽管其他顾客看到他的长发很惊讶。固定搭配be surprised to do sth. 表示“做某事很惊讶”，此处用surprise的形容词形式surprised，用于修饰人。
39. 句意：最终，一周后他收到了市儿童医院的感谢信。此处放在句首作状语，首字母需要大写，finally变形为Finally。
40. 句意：他很担心它的未来。中文提示“未来”，对应名词future，符合形容词性物主代词its后面接名词的要求。
41. 句意：对他来说选一个主题并不容易。中文提示“容易的”，对应形容词easy，符合It is + adj. for sb.的固定结构。
42. 句意：让顾客容易记住他的面包店。中文提示“顾客”，此处泛指所有到店的顾客，用复数形式customers。
43. 句意：为他们创造一段难忘的经历。中文提示“经历”，对应名词experience，符合形容词unforgettable修饰名词的要求。
44. 句意：他知道除了自己他谁也指望不上。中文提示“他自己”，对应反身代词himself。
45. 句意：他有很多想法，但没法轻易给出最终决定。中文提示“决定”，前面有不定冠词a，要填动词decide对应的名词形式decision。
46. 句意：从他脸上的笑容，我们能看出他很满意。中文提示“脸”，对应名词face，符合固定搭配on his face的用法。
47. 句意：最后，重要的日子到来了。此处放在句首作状语，中文提示“最后”，首字母大写，填Finally。
48. 句意：所有东西都准备好了。此处放在句首，中文提示“所有事物”，首字母大写，填Everything。
【答案】
34. talked about 35. kept 36. longer 37. it
38. surprised 39. Finally 40. future 41. easy
