D．asif解析：选A空后的aneedychildcouldhaveone是目的，因此用sothat。incase以防；forfear担心；asif似乎；均不符合语境。14．A.spent B．sharedC．saved D．wasted解析：选C联系空后的andboughtmoreandmorechildrenthegifts可知，他们把节省下来的钱给其他孩子买礼物。15．A.otherwise B．indeedC．either D．then解析：选A联系空前的theywouldn’thave可知，否则这些孩子就得不到礼物。16．A.idea B．actionC．gathering D．tradition解析：选D联系后文Andmaywealsoseethatitisnevertoolatetostartafamilytradition可以得出答案。17．A.talked
