【分析】本题考查“动词+副词”短语的用法及语境辨析。首先根据语境判断需要的短语含义，再结合“动词+副词”短语中代词宾语的位置规则排除错误选项，最终确定正确答案。

【答案】B

【分析】
首先通读短文，理解文章围绕“家的温暖”展开的主旨；接着逐个分析每个空格的句子结构，明确所需词性（如副词、形容词、名词、动词的适当形式）；再结合方框内的词汇，匹配符合语境的选项，最后根据语法规则（时态、单复数、非谓语形式等）调整词汇的正确形式。
【解析】
1. 句意为“无论我们去哪里，我们总是想家”，方框中wherever符合语境，句首首字母需大写，故填Wherever；
2. 修饰动词短语cooked rice，需用副词，fresh的副词形式为freshly，意为“新鲜地”，故填freshly；
3. 固定搭配be careful with表示“对……细心”，符合妈妈打理家务的语境，故填careful；
4. many后接可数名词复数，plan的复数形式为plans，意为“计划”，对应爸爸为家庭做规划的内容，故填plans；
