解析：

(1)	Laura怀疑那么无私的爱在当今世界是否存在，Hilary给她讲了下面这个故事。
(2)	从下文可知，这是一件特别的事。
(3)	句子的意思是：为了赚够钱买一辆二手的摩托车，他整个夏天都在工作。
(4)	句子的意思是：他花了很多时间摆弄它，直到它明亮如新。
(5)	儿子的所作所为令“我”感到自豪，所以给他买了头盔和骑装。
(6)	句子的意思是：我几乎等不及他打开礼物。
(7)	从句意可知，我一起床就去厨房煮咖啡、泡茶，cook、set与coffee和tea都不能搭配，serve带有服务的性质。
(8)	根据句意选择。notice“通知”，sign“标志牌”。
(9)	作者对儿子感到吃惊，因为下文还有shocked一词。
(10)	下一句说到是“learn to play the piano”，所以作者是去听课，而不是给别人上课。
(11)	听到我想要钢琴，丈夫说“要学钢琴，我就给你买一架”，这是反应，而不是理由、要求或评论。
(12)	动词与宾语的搭配，afford“付得起钱买……”。
(13)	这里是家人醒了，the home相当于the family。
(14)	句子的意思是互相亲吻对方。
(15)	本题考查动词与宾语的搭配，从句意可知，是“打开礼物”。

(17)	从上下文可知，我并不知道儿子把摩托车卖了，这时才意识到。
(18)	习惯用法。
(19)	选择动词，句子的意思是“那种爱仍然存在”。
(20)	share“分享”。
