【解析】

試題分析：對于沒有錢的人來說，圣誕節是個非常尷尬的日子，二十多年前，作者因為財力有限，只能給孩子們買了超市打折的玩具當禮物，但是當孩子們看到玩具時那歡快的表情卻讓作者心情立馬愉悅起來。孩子們的笑聲也成了送給作者最好的圣誕禮物。

1.struggling????????????? 。根據結構可知此處是做定語，被修飾名詞teacher與struggle之間是主動關系，用現在分詞，填struggling。

2.so/and 。分析結構可知前面句子bills are due和后面句子之間是并列或者因果關系，故填so或者and。

3.sold 。 由結構可知sell此處是非謂語動詞做后置定語修飾toys，和被修飾詞是被動關系，故用過去分詞sold。

4.had hidden 。 由結構可知gifts后面句子是定語從句，從句的謂語動詞hide的動作發生在brought in 之前，應該用過去完成時，故答案填had hidden。

5.them/the gifts 。從上文內容可知此處指把買的禮物遞給孩子們，所以答案是them或者the gifts。

6. eyes/faces。根據情理推斷，當孩子們收到禮物時會非常開心，開心會從眼睛或者從臉上表示出來，再根據后面動詞搭配可知此處指眼睛或者面容，填eyes或faces。

7.happily。 由結構可知此處是修飾動詞hugged，應該用副詞形式happily。

8.for????????????? 。 從搭配可知表示時間的長短用介詞for+時間段，故此處填for。

9.greatest????????????? 。根據上下文以及后面出現的ever可以判斷此處應該用形容詞最高級做定語，填greatest。

10.the 。gift是單數名詞，而且有定語限制，故前面加定冠詞the。
