答案： 【主旨大意】本文主要介绍了元宵和汤圆这两种食物以及它们的制作过程。
6. normally【点拨】此处应用副词 normally 修饰动词 eat，表示“通常”。
7. connected【点拨】connect with“与……联系”，is 与过去分词构成一般现在时的被动语态，此空应填过去分词。
8. togetherness【点拨】根据“the round shape of the balls symbolizes family”及备选词可知，象征着家庭团聚，此空应填名词，together 的名词 togetherness“团聚”符合。
9. other【点拨】根据“There are two main kinds of glutinous rice balls”及 one 可知，此处指两者中的另一种，one...the other“一个……另一个……”，故填 other。
10. be cut【点拨】根据“The fillings need to... into little cubes（小方块）”及备选词可知，要被切成小方块，cut“切”，主语 fillings 与动词 cut 之间是被动关系，need to do sth.“需要做某事”。
11. completely

13. Compared【点拨】compare with“与……相比”，此空应填过去分词作状语。
14. to celebrate【点拨】根据“We always eat it... the Lantern Festival”可知，吃元宵或汤圆来庆祝元宵节，动词不定式作目的状语，to 后接动词原形 celebrate。
15. suggest【点拨】此处缺少动词作谓语，根据“not eating too much”可知，建议不要吃太多的元宵或汤圆，suggest (not) doing sth.“建议（不）做某事”，此句是一般现在时，the old 表示“老人年”这一类人为复数形式，动词用原形。
