Read the article written by a father for a newspaper. What is his family going to sell at the yard sale
My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children’s home.
3a
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And
he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!

替换。

个以上的人或物中)各自;每个”。

A
【解析】句意:我非常喜欢这块手表。我买了五年了。根据for five years可知用现在完成时,动词用延续性动词,buy是短暂性动词,不能和for+一段时间连用,应用延续性动词have,其过去分词是had。故选A。
