31、们幸福在哪里的故事。1to create decide 后跟不定式做宾语。2using using 为现在分词短语，做该句的方式状语。3collected 该句的主语是 balloons，为 collected的动作承受者，故用被动语态。4which/that 空后的定语从句中缺少主语，先行词是 balloon，故定语从句用which/that引导。5hurriedly 空后是动词，应用副词做状语修饰动词 searching。6their 根据前文的 their name和下文的 own判断填形容词性物主代词 their。67a 句意：每一个人被要求拿到一个气球。表示泛指，应用 a。8had
