小题7:which/ that; amazing
小题8:performance(s); excited
题目分析：
小题1:how 特殊疑问词how+不定式作为on的宾语。句意：这本书是关于如何容易地算出这道数学题。
小题2:however 上下文存在着转折关系，横线后面有逗号隔开说明使用however.
小题3:arrives 本句使用一般现在时代替将来时，表示按照时间表上安排的将要发生的事情。
小题4:for 固定词组第一次：for the first time
小题5:sitting 固定用法：spend some time (in) doing sth花费时间做某事
小题6:unlucky 改词在句中做表语，应该使用形容词的形式。
小题7:which/ that; amazing 第一空是定语从句的关系代词that指代先行词在句中做主语。第二空形容词amazing修饰名词characters.
小题8:performance(s); excited 第一空指表演performance,单数复数都可以，第二空使用excited做宾语补足语。
