【解析】短文大意：该文作者在北京住了一辈子。本文中他告诉读者他的过去和今天的生活。过去住着小房子，没有电灯，只有蜡烛。今天生活发生了很大变化。现在的家庭小了，妇女的角色也发生了改变。

（1）句意：没有电灯，只有蜡烛。根据上句中的in the past 可知该用一般过去时，句中主语electric lights 是复数，所以填写were。

（2）句意：我的父亲是一个邮递员，在寒冷的冬天或炎热的夏天他经常一天在外工作十二小时。根据并列句My father was a postman 可知本句该用一般过去时，所以填写worked。

（3）句意：她不能外出工作。联系上下文可知本句该用一般过去时，而谓语动词是实意动词，所以填写didn't go。

（4）句意：在我的家有五个孩子。所填名词被基数词five 修饰，所以该用复数名词，故填写children。

（5）句意：一年我们只能吃肉一两次。根据并列词twice 可知该填写副词once。

（6）句意：不能送我去上学，因为我的家庭负担不起学费。根据语境可知本句主语I 是动词send的承受者，该用被动语态，所以填写wasn't sent。

（7）句意：现在生活已经改变了。联系下句Families have got ________(small) than they were in the past.可知该用现在完成时，而本句主语是life，所以填写has changed。

（8）句意：家庭比过去小。由than 可知该用比较级，所以填写smaller。

（9）句意：我的女儿真的幸运。所填词被副词really修饰该用形容词，所以填写lucky。

（10）句意：她甚至结婚后还去工作。get married结婚，是一个固定短语，所以填写married。

（11）句意：我很高兴看到她每天忙于工作。Be busy doing sth忙于做某事，所以填写working。

（12）句意：但是有时我感到孤独，因为她不能常来看我。此处表示来的目的，该用动词不定式，所以填写to see。
