【解析】

本文讲述老师通过让学生去巧克力工厂挑选最大的巧克力棒这一活动，让学生明白什么是贪婪，告诉学生要懂得理智地做出选择。

【1】句意：老师没有马上回答她的问题。

quick形容词，翻译为“快速的”。分析句子可知，此处用来修饰句中的动词answer，所以用其副词形式，故填quickly。

【2】句意：但是有一条规则。

分析句子可知，此处修饰可数名词单数rule，所以其前需加不定冠词表泛指，又因为rule首字母发辅音音素，故填a。

【3】句意：但是她认为她可能会找到一个更大的。

find动词，翻译为“找到”。分析句子可知，此处构成“be able to do sth”结构，翻译为“能够去做某事”，所以此处用其不定式形式，故填to find。

【4】句意：但是又一次，她认为如果她继续走，她可以得到一个更大的。

分析句子可知，此处表示“如果”的含义，用英语表达是if，此处用来引导条件状语从句，故填if。

【5】句意：当她接近工厂的尽头时，她看到了（更）少的巧克力棒。

few形容词，翻译为“少的”。分析句子可知，此处表示“（更）少的”，在句中作定语修饰其后的名词chocolate bars，故填fewer / few。

【6】句意：他们中没有一个像先前的那个那样大。

large形容词，翻译为“大的”。分析句子可知，此处用于“as+形容词原级+as”结构中，翻译为“像……一样”，故填large。

【7】句意：最后，她什么也没选。

choose动词，翻译为“选择”。分析句子可知，此处用于句中作谓语，又因为文章时态是一般过去时，所以用其过去式形式，故填chose。

【8】句意：她什么都没拿回到她的老师那里。

something不定代词，翻译为“某事物”。分析句子可知，此处用于without之后，在句中作宾语，表否定含义，需将something改为anything，故填anything。

【9】句意：但是你继续去寻找一个更大的。

分析句子可知，此处表示“寻找”的含义，构成短语look for，此处用于句中作谓语，故填for。

【10】句意：有时候，我们会放弃生活中一些美好的东西。

thing名词，翻译为“事物，东西”。分析句子可知，此处用于句中作宾语，又因为thing是可数名词，其前并无表单数的词修饰，所以用其名词复数形式，故填things。
