这是一道英语阅读填空题，考查的是对文章内容的理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。解题的关键在于仔细阅读短文，理解每个空白处前后句子的意思，然后从选项中找出与之匹配的内容。
1. 第一空前文提到“在美国，十六岁、十八岁和二十一岁是一个人一生中重要的年龄。这些生日通常没有特别的庆祝活动。”后文分别阐述了这三个年龄可以做的不同的事情，所以第一空需要一个过渡句，F选项“但每一个都是一个人可以做新事情来表明他们正在成长为成年人的时刻。”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。
2. 第二空前文说“许多高中生在庆祝完十六岁生日后不久就做兼职工作和学开车。”后文应该是进一步说明十六岁还可以做的事，E选项“他们中的一些人甚至被允许搬出去离开家。”符合逻辑。
3. 第三空前文提到“在十八岁，美国的人可以投票和吸烟。”后文说“他们也不允许买酒直到二十一岁。”这里存在转折关系，D选项“然而，他们不允许去很多夜总会。”符合语境，进一步说明十八岁的限制。
4. 第四空前文提到“在许多拉丁文化中，年轻女子的十五岁生日很重要。”后文说“为了纪念这个特殊的日子，有十几岁女儿的家庭会举办一个叫做成人礼的庆祝活动。”A选项“在这个年龄，她被视为成年人。”解释了十五岁生日重要的原因，符合逻辑。
5. 第五空后文提到“在二十岁，他们可以投票、喝酒和吸烟。一月的第二个星期一是日本的‘成人日’。”这里是在说不同国家成年的年龄，B选项“在日本，年轻人在二十岁成为成年人。”符合语境。
