Hi！亲爱的朋友们，你们好！我是定冠词the，用在名词前，我的意思是“这(些)、那(些)”。我们冠词家族人丁稀少，但是作用可不小。我只有两个姐妹a和an。她们通常表示“一个(位、件……)”，用于单数可数名词前。我的性情有些古怪，你想了解我吗？

　　1　我喜欢演奏乐器，所以我常常出现在乐器前。如：play the piano/guitar(弹钢琴/吉他)等。

　　2　我经常和世界上独一无二的事物在一起，为此我非常自豪。如：the sun/moon(太阳/月亮)等。

　　3　我还喜欢帮助一些形容词、分词，与它们一起来表示一类人或事物。如：the old(老人)、the rich(富人) 等。

　　4　我没事时就喜欢和姓氏的复数形式闲聊人家一家子的情况。如：the Greens(格林一家)等。

　　5　我还喜欢和序数词一起强调数字的顺序，但当序数词前有形容词性物主代词等修饰限定时，我就会赶快逃走，销声匿迹。如：This is my eleventh birthday．(这是我的第十一个生日。)等。

　　注意：当我和序数词一起表示日期时，我经常躲起来，但如果在of短语中，我就一定会露面。如：May(the)first＝May 1st＝the first of May(五月一日)。

　　1　我不喜欢和科学名词在一起。如：math(数学)、English(英语)等。

　　2　我对球类运动不感兴趣，你在球类运动前根本找不到我。如：play basketball/soccer(打篮球/踢足球)等。

　　3　我还有个坏毛病——挑食，三餐饭前从来找不到我的影子。如：eat breakfast/lunch(吃早餐/中餐)等。

　　你了解定冠词the的生活习性了吗？赶快来找我吧！

请根据定冠词的“生活习性”填空，不需要填的地方打“×”。
