【解析】【主旨大意】本文通过一位国王选新国王的故事，向人们说明了“诚实是做人的根本”的道理。

1.意为：我会给每个人一粒种子。

2.and在本句中表示承接关系。

3.指一位名叫Ling的男孩。

4.plant是动词，其后应当用副词；根据下文可知：他认真地种下了这粒种子。所以选B。

5.根据上文可知种子并没有生长，所以他带着一只空盒子去了皇宫。

6.指他看到别人带着漂亮的植物，感到非常的难过。

7.get, go, arrive是不及物动词，带宾语时要加介词。

8.这是一个定语从句，先行词是物，所以只能用which做关系代词。

9. 指除了Ling之外，你们中的人都带来了植物和花。

10.指Ling是唯一一个具有诚实和勇气带来空盒子的人。
