解析：
【分析】
先通读短文，明确短文围绕“生日”主题介绍人物及相关信息。再结合方框内给出的单词，根据每个空格的语境、语法规则（如名词单复数、动词形式、固定搭配等）选择恰当单词并调整形式，同时注意每词仅用一次的要求。
【解析】
1. 前文介绍父亲后，此处介绍母亲，故填名词woman；
2. 固定搭配“the same as”表示“和……一样”，故填same；
3. 生日相关的聚会，填名词party；
4. 表示年龄“数词+years old”结构，two后接复数years，故填years；
5. 主语Sally和Joe是复数，be动词用are，故填are；
6. 后文提及生日日期，此处指Sally的生日，故填birthday；
7. 固定搭配“How about”用于询问“……怎么样”，故填How；
8. 修饰名词birthday需用形容词性物主代词，指代Lisa，故填Her；
9. 询问年龄用固定搭配“How old”，故填old；
10. 固定搭配“say Happy Birthday to sb.”表示“对某人说生日快乐”，故填say。
