(答案→)B
解析：这篇短文描写了一个吝啬的人彼得句型聚会的故事。聚会需要的一切东西都是他人提供的，最后这些客人们以一种巧妙地方式讽刺了彼得的吝啬。
【小题1】联系上文他总是索取，可知下文句意为，从没没有付出，故选B，给予。
【小题2】结合语境可知他想让比尔也带着玛莎，选项B只能用于否定句，选项C用于疑问句，表示已经，还。故选A，也。
【小题3】结合语境可知他们很高兴参加，故选C，高兴的。
【小题4】句意：他说他相信每个人都想比尔和玛莎为他们唱首歌。结合语境可知这是站在过去角度看将来发生的动作，故用过去将来时态，助动词用would，选A，将要。
【小题5】联系下文in the world在世界上，及前文定冠词the，可知用形容词最高级，故选B，最好的。
【小题6】考察forget用法。Forget后面接动名词表示忘记已经做过的某事，接不定式表示不要忘记还没有做的某事。结合语境可知这些事情还没做，故选C，他没有忘记向他们每个人要些东西。
【小题7】联系上文，可知此处代词指的是吉姆和玛丽杰克逊，故人称代词用复数形式，作主语故用主格形式。选A。
【小题8】联系上文a big可知此处用名词，做表语。故选B，这个聚会是一个巨大的成功。
【小题9】联系下文Betty for the cake，可知此处表示感谢的原因，as后面一般接从句，故选C，因为。
【小题10】联系前文冠词the，可知此处用名词，故选A，邀请。
