(答案→)D 解析：短文属于说明文。介绍了不同国家庆祝情人节的方式。【小题1】holiday是celebrate动作的承受者，因此使用被动语态。【小题2】前句意思是“每个国家的庆祝方式不同”，后句意思是“风俗习惯不同”。后面表示原因，因此使用because。【小题3】在某一天前，介词使用on。【小题4】anyone是先行词，后面是定语从句修饰它，挖空部分指人，且做从句的主语，因此使用who做关系代词，。【小题5】前面谈到美国，后面谈到日本；再根据后面的too，可以确定是并列关系，用连词and连接两个并排的事情。【小题6】前面已经提到一种礼物Chocolate，这里提到其他的礼物，可加副词“也”，用在be动词和实意动词之间，选择also。【小题7】这里谈到美国和日本在送礼物时的区别，因此用difference；与后面is保持一致，用单数形式。【小题8】此处的give做only girls and women的谓语，表示一般情况，使用一般现在时，因此使用动词原形。【小题9】此处代替boys and girls，修饰friends，因此使用物主代词their。【小题10】从最后一句可知：喜欢在美国当女人；由此可推测：在美国女人得到的礼物比男人的贵。根据than可知，本句使用比较级。expensive 前面加more构成比较级。
