请认真阅读下面短文,填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A king liked to travel around his kingdom and ask people how they were. But every time he asked, people had their 1 worries (worry). No one seemed happy with their lives.
The king was sad 2 about this. Later, he came to a village on his horse. There, he saw 3 an old man working in the hot sun. The old man was so busy 4 that he didn't see the king.
The king asked, "Who are you 5 working (work) for? Why are you in the hot sun?"
The old man was surprised. "Your Majesty, I'm planting mango trees," he said.
"When will they start 6 bearing/to bear (bear) fruit?" asked the king.
"Five years 7 later (late)," said the old man.
"But you're already old! Will you live to see the fruit?" asked the king.
The old man 8 smiled (smile), "I know, Your Majesty. I'm not planting the trees for myself. I'm planting them for my sons and grandsons. My parents did the same. I enjoy the trees they planted. I'm happy 9 to pass (pass) on the seeds."
The king was happy to hear this. The happy man taught 10 him (he) that selfless giving makes a heart content.

答案： 1. worries 考查名词的数。根据下一句话“No one seemed happy with their lives.”可推知,每次他问人们过得怎么样时,人们都有他们的担忧。此处需用 worry 的复数形式 worries。
2. about 考查介词。结合句意可知,国王对此很难过。be sad about sth. 意为“对某事感到难过”。
3. an 考查冠词。结合句意可知,在那里,他看到一位老人在烈日下工作。old 是发音以元音音素开头的单词,故用不定冠词 an。
4. that 考查固定搭配。结合句意可知,老人是如此的忙碌,以至于他没有看见国王。“so ... that ...”意为“如此……以至于……”。
5. working 考查时态。结合句意可知,此处需用现在进行时，be 动词 are 已给出,故填 working。
6. bearing/to bear 考查固定搭配。start doing sth./start to do sth. 意为“开始做某事”。
7. later 考查副词。结合句意可知,此处表示“五年以后”。
8. smiled 考查时态。结合文章的时态可知,此处用一般过去时。
9. to pass 考查固定搭配。be happy to do sth. 意为“高兴做某事”。
10. him 考查代词。根据动词 taught 可推知,此处需填宾格 him。
