该文介绍了一个科学老师用巧妙的方法告诉他的学生们一个道理。如果生活中充满了小的事情，你就不可能去做大的事情。

1.句意：他带了一个敞口瓶并且把一些大石头放在里面。

collects收集；puts放；gets 获得；gives给。根据句意和后面的举动可知，是把石头“放”进了瓶子里面。可知该选B。

2.句意：现在瓶子满了吗？

full满的；broken 损坏的；heavy重的；light轻的。根据后文中几次提到“Is it full?”可知该选A。

3.句意：老师又拿了一些小石头，把它们放在瓶子里。

mouth嘴；cup杯子；bottle瓶子；bowl碗。联系上文中He takes a large-mouth bottle and     a few large stones(石头) in it.可知该选C。

4.句意：小石头进入了大石块之间的空隙。

behind在后面；beside在旁边；below在下面；between在……之间。根据后文中The sand (沙) goes into the room between the small stones可知该选D。

5.句意：这一次一些学生没有回答，但大多数回答:“是的!”

some一些；plenty大量的；any任何；many许多。联系后句but most answer: “Yes!” 可知该选A。

6.句意：老师然后把一些沙放入瓶里。

water水；stones石头；milk牛奶；sand沙。根据后文The sand (沙) goes into the room between the small stones中可知老师放了一些沙子。该选D。

7.句意：老师第三次问道：满了吗？

first第一；second第二；third第三；fourth第四。联系上文的两次提问，可知这是老师第三次提问同样的问题了，所以选C。

8.句意：这个演示的重点是什么？

sport运动；show展示； play剧；science科学。根据语境，老师在给学生们演示一个实验，可知该选B。

9.句意：你总是可以找到时间去做更多的事情。

always 总是； never从不；sometimes有时；usually通常。根据实验，总是可以在瓶子里放物品。可知该选A。

10.句意：这大石头是你生活中的重要的事。

beautiful美丽的；important重要的；careful 仔细的；interesting有趣的。联系后句If you your life is full of small things, the sand and the water – you’ll never have the time for the important things.”可知该选B。
