思路引導 VIP
請回想一下文中提到的「交換禮物」或「幫復活節蛋染色」，如果我們要用一個總括性的詞彙來描述這些在特定時間點會重複進行的「行為」或「參與過程」，你會怎麼稱呼它們？

恭喜你精準掌握了文章最後的語意轉折！這題你選得非常正確，顯示你已經能流暢地捕捉作者在段落中埋下的對比邏輯。在處理這類克漏字時，理解角色立場的差異是核心關鍵，而你成功識別出了 Philip 與 Jane 截然不同的價值觀。
節慶習俗的語意連結
從文章的脈絡來看，Jane 擔心的是花費與商業化，但 Philip 則持相反意見，他認為孩子們享受的是與節日相關的慣常活動 (customary activities)。這裡的 activities 完美呼應了前一句提到的「送禮」與「染彩蛋」等具體行為。相較於選項 (A) 負擔或 (C) 令人沮喪的事，這些負面詞彙與 Philip 主張孩子能「享受其中」的情境完全相左。本題的鑑別度在於測驗學生是否能暫時排除前文 Jane 的負面觀點，轉而從 Philip 的正向視角選出最合適的概括名詞，這需要對上下文語氣有細膩的觀察。
