【分析】
本题为英语词汇形式填空题，需结合语境和语法规则确定每个空的单词正确形式。解题思路：先分析每个空在句中的成分，判断所需词性或形式；再结合括号内单词，依据语法规则（如介词后接动名词、形容词修饰名词、不定式结构、物主代词用法等）转换单词；最后验证转换后的形式符合语境语义。
【解析】
46. 介词for后需接动名词，故将pick变为picking；
47. 修饰名词culture需用形容词，故将tradition变为traditional；
48. 固定结构it's + adj + to do sth，故用不定式to know；
49. 修饰名词hands需用形容词性物主代词，故将they变为their；
50. 表示“第一种形式”需用序数词，故将one变为first；
51. 修饰动词短语需用副词，故将usual变为usually；
52. some后接可数名词复数，故将child变为children；
53. 主语parents为复数，一般现在时谓语用原形，故用get；
54. 形容词special后需接名词，故将mean变为meaning；
55. 修饰名词facts需用形容词，故将interest变为interesting。
【答案】
46. picking 47. traditional 48. to know 49. their 50. first 51. usually 52. children 53. get 54. meaning 55. interesting
