解析:
1. 考查被动语态,“be made of”是固定短语,意为“由……制成”,故填made。
2. 考查并列连词,happiness与good luck为并列关系,用and连接表示“幸福和好运”。
3. 考查词性转换,形容词own后接名词,mean的名词形式是meaning,意为“含义”。
4. 考查词性转换,修饰名词短语Chinese symbols需用形容词,tradition的形容词形式是traditional,意为“传统的”。
5. 考查冠词,interesting是以元音音素开头的单词,且activity是可数名词单数,前面用不定冠词an。
6. 考查介词,此处表示“通过佩戴中国结”,用介词By,句首单词首字母大写。
7. 考查非谓语动词,“be interested in doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“对做某事感兴趣”,故填learning。
8. 考查非谓语动词,“want to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“想要做某事”,故填to try。
9. 考查固定句型,“why not do sth.”是固定句型,意为“为什么不做某事”,后接动词原形,故填give。
10. 考查形容词,“be surprised by”是固定短语,意为“对……感到惊讶”,故填surprised。
