Every coin they earned went into the jar.

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】根据固定句型be doing ... when ...可知，应用连词when。

【2】根据语境可知，Harry的手指头从破旧的手套中露了出来。

【3】根据语境可知，两个女孩停下来和Harry交谈，问他为什么要这么做，于是Harry告诉了她们自己的打算，故表示将来的事情，即用过去将来时was getting/would get。

【4】根据“and”的提示可知，前后时态应一致，故用一般过去时，与“touched”呼应。

【5】根据固定短语搭配in ...condition“处于……状态”可知，应用介词in。

【6】介词后应跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故用名词guilt作介词of的宾语。

【7】根据语境可知，上下句表示逻辑上的并列关系，故用连词and。

【8】此处为不定式表示目的。

【9】此处是现在分词作定语，意为“颤抖的”，表示正在进行的动作。

【10】根据语境可知，“love”被介词短语“of others”修饰，表示限定的概念，故用定冠词the。
