参考答案及解析：
1. refer后加to
固定搭配refer to…as…，意为“把…称作…”。
2. that -%26gt； /
Because表示原因后接从句时不需加that.
3. unabundant -%26gt； abundant
根据上文已经说了中秋节也被认为是丰收节，所以食物应该是很丰富的，故将unabundant改为abundant.
4. relax -%26gt； relaxation
relax是动词，此处需要名词作for的宾语，所以将relax改成相应的名词relaxation.
5. appears -%26gt； appear
这句话是倒装句，真正的主语是后面的some special customs，所以谓语动词要用复数形式。
6. and -%26gt； but
7. relative -%26gt； relatives
8. resembles -%26gt； resemble
这句话的主语是the round moon cakes，所以将谓语动词resembles改为resemble.
9. hundreds后加of
固定搭配hundreds of“成百上千的”。
10. cakes后加which或that
这句话出现了compare和are served两个谓语，根据句子的意思compare才是真正的谓语，而are served…。则应该是修饰cakes的定语从句，又因为从句缺少主语，所以加上that或which.
