【解析】【1】第三段中的the money有提示：尽管“我们”家境不富裕，但是“我们”知道女儿非常喜欢看Linkin Park乐队的演出。

【2】女儿非常兴奋，就像一个快要过圣诞节的“孩子(kid)”。

【3】解析：她兴奋地好几次起床到“我们”房间“坐坐(sit)”。

【4】解析：从这句话中got up"起床”好几次，可见她兴奋得“睡(sleep)”不着觉。

【5】解析：Linkin Park是一个乐队，所以是在“音乐会(concert)”演出的那晚，她跟男友一块儿出发了。

【6】解析：与本空后excited构成并列：能够去看演出，她非常“高兴(happy)”。

【7】解析：过了午夜，他们“回来了(returned)”。

【8】解析：“我们”在“听(listening to)”她讲乐队有多棒。

【9】解析：根据她兴高采烈的样子及她对乐队的高度评价可推出，“我们”知道这笔钱没有白“花(spent)”。

【10】解析：在她的人生中，这将是一个美好的回忆，她“永远不会(never)”忘记。

【13】解析：看到仍不失童心、快乐的女儿，“我们”两人会心地“笑了(laughed)”。

【14】解析：在她成长的过程中，她没有“失去(lost)”童心。

【15】解析：回来后，他们给“我们”两个人一人送了一件“礼物(gift)”。下文的present和gifts都为提示。

【16】解析：女儿在礼物上写道：献给世上“最好的(best)”父亲／母亲。

【17】解析：“我们”就问她“为什么(why)”要送给“我们”礼物。

【18】解析：上句是“我们”的提问，所以此处是她的“回答(answer)”，非常简单：就因为我爱你们。

【19】解析：下一句提到她经常送给“我们”礼物，所以这次送礼物也不是多么“稀奇的( new)”事。

【20】解析：下文feelings有提示：想表达自己的感情时，她就会送给“我们”礼物。其实，在父母眼里，送什么东西并不重要，重要的是这种行为及其背后所包含的真情。
