      I've learned English for 6 years. I spend a lot of my free time listening to English news 
and watching English movies, so I'm good at English. That is to say, it's not difficult for me 
to talk with people in English.
      I have been interested in science since I was a child. My favourite books are on science. 
Some new ideas often come out of my mind. With these ideas, I have made some small 
inventions to make my life more comfortable.
      Besides, I like making friends with different peopleI'm sure that I will get along well 
with the visitors.
      I would be thankful if you could give me the chance.
⑴ countries
句意:对于北半球大部分国家来说,比如中国,春天从三月开始,五月结束。
most 大多数,country 国家,为可数名词,most后接可数名词时,名词要用复数形式。
country的复数形式为countries
故答案为countries

⑵ southern
句意:然而,在很多南半球的国家,比如澳大利亚,九月、十月、十一月是春天的月份。
前面提到了northern hemisphere(北半球),与之相对应,此处为southern hemisphere(南半球)。故答案为southern

⑶ but
句意:春天不仅指季节,还指重生。
分析可知,本题考查固定搭配: 
not only…but (also)… 不仅……而且……,故本空填but

⑷ to celebrate
句意:因此,大多数国家都有特殊的传统来庆祝这个美丽的季节的到来。
本处表示特别传统的目的,即不定式作目的状语,因此本空填不定式to celebrate

⑸ believed
句意:在过去,人们相信这会带来一个好收成的年份。
根据时间状语In the past(在过去),可知本句时态为一般过去时,本空在句中作谓语,所以本空填动词believe(相信)的过去式believed

⑹ traditional
句意:这是一个被称为“花见”的传统习俗,意思是“看花”,通常从3月下旬持续到5月初。
custom 习俗,是名词,其前面用形容词修饰,故本空填名词tradition(传统)的形容词修饰traditional(传统的)。
故答案为traditional

⑺ usually
句意:这是一个被称为“花见”的传统习俗,意思是“看花”,通常从3月下旬持续到5月初。
分析句子结构可知,本处应填副词,修饰动词 lasts(持续),因此本处为usually

⑻ are
句意:食物、饮料甚至舞蹈都是“花见”的一部分。
前文提到三种事物——food, drink, dancing,因此本处be动词为复数, 文章以一般现在时写作,因此be动词用are

⑼ a
句意:甚至还有一个特别的日子,土拨鼠日,在每年的2月2日。
day 日子,是可数名词,本处表示泛指,意为“一个特别的日子”,special是辅音/s/开头的字母,故填不定冠词a

⑽ on
句意:如果没有影子,春天就要来了!
根据前文If a groundhog sees its shadow when it comes out, people can expect six more weeks of winter. 如果一只土拨鼠在它出来的时候看到它的影子,人们可以预计冬天还会持续六周。
可推测,当影子不见了,冬天就过了,春天就来了。因此用固定搭配on the way(在路上)。故本空填on
