11. What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage?
A. Parents should satisfy all their children's needs.
B. Kids shouldn't ask parents for any gifts.
C. It's good to play some tricks on each other sometimes.
D. The greatest gift may not cost much money but is full of love.

1. B 根据pogo sticks were so expensive可知，此处指太贵而负担不起。
2. B show展示；wonder想知道；challenge挑战；devote奉献。根据if there was a pogo stick in it可知，此处是“想知道”盒子里有没有弹簧单高跷。
3. A quietly悄悄地；politely礼貌地；suddenly突然；certainly当然。根据While my parents were busy with their chores可知，是悄悄走出去避免被发现。
4. D surprised惊讶的；stressed有压力的；relaxed放松的；excited兴奋的。根据“... I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my pogo stick would appear. ”可知，作者对弹簧单高跷的期待很高，此处是期待中的兴奋。
5. D purpose目的；promise承诺；advice建议；luck运气。根据“Inside the box was a silly old broom. ”可知，本期待弹簧单高跷，结果是扫帚，所以是没这个运气。
6. C 句意：那年新年早上，我收到了一些不错的礼物，但我没有得到我真正想要的礼物。根据got some nice gifts及didn't get the present that I really wanted可知，前后文是转折关系，用but连接。
7. A 句意：当他回来时，他拿着一个漂亮的弹簧单高跷。根据a beautiful pogo stick可知，此处是“拿着”物品进来。
8. A
9. C 句意：虽然我们没有很多钱，但父母给了我最重要的礼物：满满的爱。courage勇气；time时间；money钱；trouble麻烦。
10. D 句意：那是60多年前的事了，我仍然记得那些美好的回忆。complete完整的；strict严格的；educational有教育意义的；lovely美好的。根据I will never forget all the joy可知，这些是“美好的”回忆。
11. D 推理判断题。通读全文内容，根据“Although we didn't have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. ”可知，作者认为最珍贵的礼物是父母的爱，因此最好的礼物可能不会花很多钱，但却充满了爱。
