解析：
【小题1】由上下文可知，还是小孩子的我，在圣诞节来临，我应该是收到礼物。
【小题2】联系上下文，此处表达的意思是别人问我收到了什么礼物。
【小题3】闯入；安居；出现；关闭。
【小题4】有了礼物在学校就不会感到难堪了。
【小题5】联系上下文，提到是new house，肯定选择first，西方人对于圣诞节很重视，是一家人团圆的日子，所以此时表达重要性。
【小题6】联系上下文，可了解当时作者那种激动的心情，所以应该是突然就想到了那件让她难忘的事情。
【小题7】根据第一段中描述那次圣诞节礼物给我的感慨，和作者此刻的心情，她认为送圣诞节礼物者给自己以及孩子们的重要性。
【小题8】此处表示“够得着，能联系上的”。不能选择A，因为我不可能认识这么多此类儿童。
【小题9】从上一段可以推断，是我提出了（came up with）一个四十个人来我公司帮忙的计划。
【小题10】每个人都有属于自己的礼物，而且不是固定的，所以作者的意思是给孩子们启示：每个人都是独一无二的。
