【解析】【1】联想学生的行为、句中的介词at，以及后文中提到的picked it up可推断出学生在向老师扔硬币。

【2】根据下文的...had 12 cents in his pocket可知父亲把硬币放在了口袋里。

【3】根据下文中孩子们一个接一个地朝父亲扔硬币，可以看出孩子们是在起哄。laugh表示“讥笑，嘲笑”。

【4】another表示“另一个”。

【5】根据下文的“我想用你们的钱喝杯酒”可知这里父亲在“感谢”学生们的行为。

【6】这是一个省略句。补全句子应为“I depend on you”，介词on表示“依靠”。

【7】根据下文“我不想给老师买……”可知老师看到孩子脸上的表情是“厌恶或不高兴的样子”。

【8】根据上文中的have a draft beer可知学生们在想：不想给老师买酒喝。

【9】句中的call接双宾语，只有what能作call的直接宾语。

【10】父亲用这样的方法管理调皮的孩子，可以说父亲用了计策。

【11】condiser...as...“认为……是……”，其中as可以省略。

【12】父亲是家庭的主心骨，他要承担起养家糊口的职责。

【13】根据句中的the Father’s Day可以推测出是“父亲节的贺卡”。

【14】根据下文中的父亲抓紧时间休息片刻可推测出这里在谈naps。

【15】根据前面的zero interest和下文中的转折连词however可以看出父亲对体育不感兴趣。

【16】have got an idea相当于have an idea。

【17】根据下文中的Wake me in 20 minutes可知父亲是想小睡20分钟。

【18】因为后面接了直接引语，所以只有saying正确。

【19】a matter of表示“（关于……）的问题”。

【20】句意：我父亲过去是，现在我仍然是我所见过的最勤劳的人，或许除了他的父亲外……该空只能填but或expect，表示“除了……之外”。
