【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇哲理性的文章，講述了以為年輕人聽說一個袋子里裝有黃金，而放棄自己的毛皮大衣，拿著袋子走了以后，才發(fā)現(xiàn)袋子里只有一對石頭，告訴我們，做人不可以貪婪，否則會失去原來擁有的東西。

1. young man and an old man一個年輕人好而一位老人�？芍�是兩個人。句意為：他們緊挨著坐著。故填They。

2. surprise固定搭配，是介詞短語，譯為“吃驚地，驚訝地”。句意為：這個年輕人不敢相信自己的耳朵，而且很吃驚地。故填in。

3. the money掙錢是完整的動賓結(jié)構(gòu)，而這里應(yīng)該是如何掙錢，是作方式狀語，故用表示方式的副詞how。句意為：然后他們開始思考如何掙錢。故填how。

4. v.躺； 坐落在； 處于…狀態(tài)； 說謊。表示“說謊“的意思是，過去式和過去分詞是lied，lied；其表示“躺； 坐落在； 處于…狀態(tài)”意思時，過去式和過去分詞是lay，lain。由前文可判斷這是一個過去發(fā)生的事，要用過去式。而這里取“躺著”的意思。句意為：過了一會兒，這位老人躺在椅子上睡著了。故填lay。

5.

6. 連詞，表示轉(zhuǎn)折。根據(jù)前文Several times he tried to pull it out。幾次他試圖拿走他的毛皮大衣，而后面in vain（徒勞），可知沒有成功。發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)折。句意為：幾次他試圖拿走他的毛皮大衣，但是都徒勞無功。故填but。

7. vt想，考慮，思考。這里是有動詞的分詞形式表示狀語。這里think是主動在思考，因此用現(xiàn)在分詞表示主動。句意：最后他脫掉外套，想著袋子里的黃金肯定要比他的毛皮大衣要貴。故填thinking

8. vt.使高興，使欣喜，delighted adj高興的；欣喜的。句意為：既擔(dān)憂又高興，那個年輕人盡可能快的跑出車站，當(dāng)他的腿可以邁動的時候。故填 delighted。

9. place一個地方，而且在從句中作地點狀語。句意為：直到他到了一個他認為老人不能夠找到他的地方。故填where。

10. adj.快的，急速的。quickly adv.迅速地； 立即； 馬上。這里需要一個副詞修飾動詞opened。句意為：他停了下來，快速地打開袋子，但是他只看見里面有很多小石頭。故填quickly。
