A childs birthday party doesn have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn have to be that way, said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Garlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called A Party in a Basket. Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created（制作）10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10.Anaclerio said, and they e very interactive（互动）and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.
The standard ＄200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.

解析：
72．写作意图理解。本篇文章介绍的是提供家庭生日晚会的广告。当然写这篇文章的目的是向人们提供一种服务。
73 细节理解题。文章第二自然段中的“Their goal...while they take care of everything.”，说明此类聚会的目的是在于拉近父母与孩子之间的距离，可知A为正确答案。
74. 词语理解。读完本文后，再回过头去看第一段，hassle一词很明显就是a situation causing difficulty or trouble。
75．细节理解。根据问题的意思，首先排除BC(是礼物)，不是 a party planner；D是菜单；只剩下A了。答案 A
