本题考查八年级上册核心语法点，逐空解析如下：
15. 考查固定搭配a way to do sth.（做某事的方法），用不定式作后置定语，故填to get。
16. 考查名词复数，most后接可数名词需用复数形式，child的不规则复数形式为children。
17. 考查固定短语at the age of...（在……岁时），是固定表达，填定冠词the。
18. 考查词性转换，此处修饰名词work，需用形容词作定语，interest的形容词形式interesting表示“有趣的”，用于修饰事物。
19. 考查人称代词宾格，动词give后要接人称代词的宾格形式作宾语，they的宾格是them。
20. 考查连词，前后句为因果关系：学生要完成作业、准备考试，所以通常在周末做家务，填so。
21. 考查情态动词用法，情态动词can后必须接动词原形，故填do。
22. 考查介词，此处表示“用自己的钱”，用介词with表示“使用（钱款/工具）”。
23. 考查不定代词用法，肯定句中表示“某些事物”要用something，anything多用于否定句和疑问句。
24. 考查词性转换，形容词real后接名词，mean的名词形式meaning表示“意义、含义”，the meaning of hard work意为“努力工作的意义”。
