24.动词词义辨析。句意是“在小学阶段孩子们还喜欢我写的纸条。”

25.副词和介词短语作状语。lately最近；by the way顺便提一下，顺便问一下；by the time到……的时候；gradually逐渐地。从候温句子机构可以看出，该空应用一个可作连词引导时间状语从句的词只有by the time可用作连词，引导时间状语从句。句意是“到上中学的时候。”

26.动词词义辨析。receive收到；understand明白；enjoy喜欢；collect收集。从上文得知“随着孩子们长大，他们变得有自我意识了，我的大儿子告诉我他不再喜欢我每天写的纸条。”

27.动词词义辨析。copy抄写，模仿；read阅读；take带走；send，送，派。据题意“告诉他没必要再看纸条上的内容”，阅读什么东西应用read。

28.动词词义辨析。hold up举起，阻止; give up放弃; follow跟随; continue继续。前文提到尽管告诉儿子没有必要看纸条内容，但我还是有必要写，所以就一直继续写到他中学毕业。
