答案解析：
母亲（即本文的作者）不厌其烦的年复一年的为孩子们上学包午餐，随同午餐盒，这位母亲总坚持给孩子写上简单的一张便条，便条上都是些丁点儿鼓励的话语关于即将到来的考试啊运动比赛啊，还有一个特殊时刻的感激啊等等都写上两句。就这样，这位母亲从孩子一开始上小学到高中毕业都一直坚持这样做。天底下的母亲在生活小事上处处传递的伟大的爱！
小题1:此题可用排除法，纸条是放在午饭中的，B、D 显然不对，A 项carry 这个词是携带的意思，与题意也不合，include 除包括以外，还有放入，算进去的意思，合题意。
小题2:此题要结合前面a thank-you for，既是感谢的时刻，应用special 特别的才对。

点评：如果考生能吃透作者的写作意图，透过这个角度进行语言的思维，这篇看似比较复杂难懂的文章就会容易多了。就语言特色来讲，它也考查了这些语言点：动词，形容词及副词，名词，动词短语，介词短语及非谓语等等。当然，完形填空试题还有一个重要的侧枝功能，就是上下文逻辑的理解考查，在这篇测试中，也综合考查到了。本测试更多的偏重到了逻辑选词，所以，多数考生在对全文理解不透的情况下，往往感受到了该题偏难
