【解析】本文主要讲述了作者在爷爷的农场上用草欺骗爷爷，结果他从爷爷那里得到了一个教训：当你欺骗别人的时候，你也欺骗了自己。

1．句意：总是有一些新的事情要做，去看看和享受。see“看”，and前后的动词形式保持一致，故此处用动词不定式作定语。故填to see。

2．句意：我们都喜欢吃草莓，我们去摘它们。作pick的宾语用代词宾格them“它们”，代指草莓。故填them。

3．句意：我拿了最小的篮子。small“小的”，由语境可知，作者为了偷懒，拿了一个最小的篮子，定冠词the后加形容词最高级。故填smallest。

5．句意：在我们回来之前，我在篮子里放了很多草，然后在上面放了一些草莓。描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，动词用过去式returned“回来”。故填returned。

5．句意：我的祖父说他为我的辛勤工作感到自豪。be proud of“对……感到自豪”，固定用法。故填of。

6．句意：第二天早上，我祖母做了很多馅饼。many后加名词复数pies“馅饼”。故填pies。

7．句意：有一个大馅饼是专为我做的。分析句子可知，从句主语是先行词“a big pie”，和谓语“make制作”之间是被动关系，且此处描述过去的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done，主语是I，be动词用was。故填was made。

8．句意：你可以猜到我有多惊讶。句子是宾语从句，空格后是形容词，故此处用how引导宾语从句，表示“多么……”。故填how。

9．句意：爷爷平静地看着我。calm“平静的”，此处修饰动词“looked at”用副词。故填calmly。

10．句意：他不需要多说，而是给我上了很好的一课。此处泛指“一课”，且good以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。
