【解析】本文讲述作者小时候妈妈被妈妈带着一起去市场卖花，后来作者长大了，从书上学会了做蜡烛，在妈妈生病不能卖花的时候得到了去市场卖蜡烛的机会，并赚了很多钱。后来在叔叔的帮助下作者开了一家蜡烛商店。
(1)此题是母亲不能把我一个人留在家里，leave在这里是留的意思，从下文because my mother could leave me at home on my own也可知道用leave。故选B
(2)这两句是因果关系，故用so。故选B
(3)刚开始时，begin with是固定搭配。故选A
(4)母亲讲故事，让我觉得不会很无聊，get bored感觉无聊。故选D
(5)此题考查not……any more"不再的"，它与be动词，情态动词或助动词连用。故选D
(6)此题考"花费"的四个词，spend……(in) doing sth符合题意，人作主语；take用it作形式主语，后面接不定式。pay一般是pay……for,人作主语；而cost是作作主语。故选C
(7)本题考数词的用法，一个大约的数在百后加s和of,而具体的数则不加。故选A
(8)此题考查take…to,指从近带到远；而bring……to是从远带到近，故选A。
(9)带蜡烛的目的是看是否有人买不，故选if,此处if相当如whether"是否"。故选D
(10)此处考被动语态，由be+过去分词，sell out指卖光了，从下文They were sold out really quickly, too也可知道选C。
(11)decide to do sth 决定做某事为固定搭配，后面stop to do 停下去做另一件事，stop doing sth停止正在做某事，此处是不卖蜡烛了，因为没能制造足够多的蜡烛。故选D
(12)pay的固定搭配，一般是pay……for,人作主语。故选A
(13)used to 过去常常做某事，be used for被用来做……，be used to doing sth习惯做某事。本题选B。
(14)此时首先考虑有过去时。Lend是借出，borrow是借进，相对于他叔叔是进出去，用lend的过去式lent.故选C
(15)现在完成时，have never从不，决不，指作者从那时起再也不往后看。故选C
