【分析】
本题是关于中国元宵节的完形填空，需结合语法规则、语境逻辑及文化常识逐一分析解题：第1空考查不定冠词，表泛指且important以元音音素开头，选an；第2空考查there be句型，主语为复数名词lantern shows，be动词用are；第3空考查连词，后句是前句的原因，用because；第4空考查动词，“制作灯笼”用make；第5空考查名词，根据后文列举的事物可知是灯笼的形状，选shapes；第6空考查量词，修饰可数名词复数用lots of；第7空考查固定搭配“at night”；第8空考查文化常识，元宵节特色食品是元宵；第9空考查短语，家人聚在一起用get together；第10空考查短语，出门娱乐用have fun。
【解析】

Do you know something about the Mid-Autumn Festival? How do people celebrate it? What is the history of this festival? The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. It is an official public holiday. People living in China can enjoy a three-day holiday.
In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion (团聚) time for families, just like Thanksgiving Day in some Western countries. Chinese people celebrate it by gathering for a big dinner, enjoying the moon, eating mooncakes and so on. People in many other countries also celebrate it, such as Singapore and Malaysia. The date is the same as that in China, but there is no public holiday.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of about 3,000 years. People worshipped the moon (拜月) to give thanks for the harvest and to wish for a good harvest in the coming year. People believed that worshipping the moon could bring a good harvest. In modern times, most people have enough food to eat, but the Mid-Autumn Festival
