问题补充：
One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 36 a great climbing plant that had grown 37 a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and 38 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a 39 of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then 40 something 41 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 42 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to 43 me.
“You won’t believe that the 44 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 45 to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to 46 in a cradle（摇摆）of gold!”
When my daughter came over on the eve of the 47 ,we told her about this 48 occurrence.
“Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud 49 .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 50 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”
As the bracelet no longer 51 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.
In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗礼）.Among the 52 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like 53 . I hope that if my grandson 54 loses it, one of the 55 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.

答案：
(答案→)36---55 ACBAD CBCDB ADBCC ADBDA
解析：
36、根据第一段第一句可知答案。
37、 through纵穿，从……的内部穿过，根据常识可排除；再根据前面的climbing plant 可排除A、B两项。此处across意思为横过，缠绕。
38、前文提到是对房子进行维修，可排除A项；另外，本文没有提到房子是危房，故可排除C项；print 印刷，与句子意思不符。paint the walls粉刷墙壁。
39、根据后文的 that mass of earth and straw of the nest 可知答案。
40、根据后一句话可知作者的丈夫这时注意到了有一个发光的东西。
41、后文提到这个手镯是金子做成的，是金子就会发光。
42、作者的丈夫本来对房子进行维修，没料到会发现这个手镯。
43、丈夫发现并且取出这个手镯，就兴高采烈地把它拿给作者看。
44、根据后面的steal 可知答案。
45、根据常识可知，小鸟只能偷吃放在外面或长在树上的果子。
46、作者的丈夫是在鸟巢里发现的镯子，鸟巢就是小鸟躺着休息的地方。
47、前文提到作者一家对旧房子进行维修的目的就是为了迎接女儿的婚礼。
48、小鸟“偷”手镯，的确稀奇。
49、女儿就要结婚，手镯无意之中被找到，又听父母说了这么一件令人惊讶的事情，她怎能不笑。
50、作者的丈夫发现的手镯就是女儿丢失的那一个。
51、女儿已经长大，她那个小时候所戴的手镯已不再适合她。
52、女儿的孩子接受洗礼，作为外公外婆当然得送礼物表示祝贺；另外，从下文作者又把这个手镯当礼物送给外孙也可得知答案。
53、金手镯经过清洗妥善保管，又崭新如初。
54、 ever此处用于条件句，在任何时候。
55、上文提到作者女儿丢失的手镯被画眉偷走，所以作者以幽默的语气结尾。“如果外孙再把这个手镯丢失，我希望再有一只画眉在附近。
