答案：【解析】：这是一道英语阅读理解中的还原信息题，主要考查学生对文章内容的理解和逻辑推理能力。学生需要根据文章上下文，从所给的选项中选择最合适的句子填入空白处，使文章内容完整、连贯。
1. 第一个空白处需要填入一个与文章主题“设置餐桌”相关的句子。E选项“And it is always enjoyable to set a warm table during holidays.”（在假期布置一个温馨的餐桌总是很令人愉快的）既符合文章主题，又能引出下文关于布置餐桌的建议，因此是合适的选择。
2. 第二个空白处讨论的是桌布的选择。C选项“You don't need an expensive tablecloth.”（你不需要昂贵的桌布）与后文“It just has to be pleasant to your eyes and easy to clean.”（它只需要看起来悦目且易于清洁）相呼应，说明桌布的选择不在于价格而在于实用性和美观性。
3. 第三个空白处涉及餐具的摆放。F选项“My tip is to place a teaspoon and a fork above the dinner plate.”（我的建议是把茶匙和叉子放在餐盘上方）具体说明了餐具的摆放方式，与前文关于餐具摆放的讨论相符。
4. 第四个空白处讨论的是餐桌装饰。D选项“Flowers on a table, for example, should be low.”（例如，餐桌上的花应该低矮）具体说明了餐桌装饰的一个要点，即花的高度，与后文关于简单花瓶和低成本装饰的讨论相一致。
