【解析】

本文讲述了美国俄亥俄州玛丽埃塔中学的学生在体育馆上了一趟有趣的课。他们选择28岁时的工作和家人，然后他们得到工资，列出如何花钱。这能帮助学生了解父母的生活，以及如何更好地使用他们的钱。

【1】句意：在6月4日学生在他们的体育馆上了一趟有趣的课。

根据后文的They thought about their lives at the age of 28 and chose (选择) jobs and families.可知，这堂课上，学生们想他们在28岁的生活，选择他们的工作和家人，因此这是一趟有趣的课，故此处为interesting。

【2】句意：他们在体育馆四处走动，把钱放进盒子里。

walk around the gym在体育馆四处走动，故此处为walked。

【3】句意：这些盒子代表不同种类的开支，比如食物、旅行和照顾孩子。

根据such as food, travel and childcare可知，此处表示不同种类的开支，有different修饰，用复数名词，故此处为kinds。

【4】句意：最后，一些学生几乎没有留下钱，因为他们没有小心地花费。

根据In the end, some students had little money left可知，他们几乎没有剩下钱，因此表示他们花钱不认真，修饰动词spend用副词，故此处为carefully。

【5】句意：该校教师朱迪·佩林告诉《玛丽埃塔时报》，这项活动帮助学生了解父母的生活，以及如何更好地使用他们的钱。

根据前文的 They thought about their lives at the age of 28 and chose (选择) jobs and families.可知，他们选择他们28岁时的工作和家人，这是一种活动，故此处为activity。

根据句意，结合词性，短语，句型，时态，语态和主谓一致，根据开头字母提示，填入正确形式的单词。例如小题3，句意：这些盒子代表不同种类的开支，比如食物、旅行和照顾孩子。根据such as food, travel and childcare可知，此处表示不同种类的开支，有different修饰，用复数名词，故此处为kinds。
