【分析】
本题是英语选词填空题，解题思路为：首先通读全文，理解文章关于不同国家生日传统的主旨；然后逐句分析每个空格所需的词性、词义，结合给定词汇库，考虑固定搭配、语法变形（如名词复数、动词形式、形容词转换等），最终确定每个空格的正确词汇及形式。
【解析】
1. 空格前为形容词性物主代词their，需填名词，结合语境“分享他们的故事”，story的复数形式为stories，故填stories。
2. 具体日期（April 19th）前需用介词on，故填on。
3. 结合语境“制作仙女面包”，固定搭配make sth，故填make。
4. 此处指代前文的“a slice of white bread”，用代词it，故填it。
5. 结合语境“生日派对”，固定搭配birthday party，故填party。
6. 固定搭配fall out意为“掉落”，符合语境“美味的食物会掉出来”，故填out。
7. 固定短语a bowl of意为“一碗”，符合“一碗海带汤”的语境，故填bowl。
8. 前文提到“有很多营养物”，需填形容词，health的形容词形式为healthy，意为“健康的”，故填healthy。
9. 后文解释前文“向母亲表示尊重和感谢”的原因，用连词because，故填because。
10. 介词before后需接动名词，have的动名词形式为having，故填having。
