【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文通过筷子的使用来阐述生活哲理。在现实生活中，我们不需要一直在不断地改进事情。我们要有目标，在实践中实现梦想，放慢生活的节奏，学会思考。

【1】句意：现在越来越多的人用叫做筷子的两根棍子夹取食物。根据句意可知这里表示的是数量，所以用基数词，故填two。

【2】句意：甚至用刀叉的人们也开始使用他们。根据于前面knives并列, 所以要对fork 进行一定的变形，把单数变为复数，故填forks。

【3】句意：几乎没有比筷子更简单的的东西了。hardly 表达几乎不的意思，否定副词，故填hardly。

【4】句意：随着新技术的日益发展，仍然有单单是为了吃的这一用处的东西。根据句意，故填still。

【5】cost 四个花费；spend,pay, cost,take.。其中spend和pay是人做主语；take 是it 做主语，只有cost 是物做主语，所以这里应该选cost, 由于前面有助动词don’t, 后面加动词原形，所以cost不用变形。

【6】between between 和among 都有表示”在…….之间”的意思.但是between 是两者之间，among 是三者或者是三者以上，所以这里应该填写between.

【7】句意：大部分人赞同没有比练习更好的方法了。would 后面要加动词原形，所以agree 不用变形，故填agree。

【8】如果你不尝试的话，那只是一个梦想。根据句意，故填dream。

【9】allows/permits allow和permit都是表示同意的意思，根据前面it slows, 这句话真正的主句是it指代”to eat with chopsticks”, “it”是第三人称，第三人称单数谓语动词要加”s”,所以要对allow 和permit 进行一定变形，加”s”变为allows 和permits。

【10】在我们的生活中有的时候我们需要放慢速度去思考，去认识到，确实完全没有必要急匆匆的全速通过生活。根据句意，故填speed。
