【解析】

试题分析：一位富人通过路上放石头看谁为别人着想搬石头来验证谁值得他的帮助，文章告诉我们帮别人其实也是在帮自己。

【1】who.考查关系代词。句中包含定语从句，先行词是a man指人，在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词引导，故填who。

【2】Before.考查介词。在对村民们进行帮助之前要先调查他们是否值得帮助。根据句意填Before。

【3】a.考查冠词。stone是可数名词，此处指一块大石头，故填a。

【4】hid.考查时态。全文讲述了发生在过去的一件事，用的是过去时，故填过去式hid。

【5】Another.考查代词。前面讲述了an old man是第一个人，现在出现的是第二个，表示另一个用Another，故填Another。

【6】it.考查代词。人们都在抱怨石头但是没有人想去移动它。此处指石头，故填it。

【7】saying.考查非谓语动词。句中主语He和动词say是主动关系，在句中作状语用-ing形式，故填saying。

【8】will be.考查时态。年轻人想：晚上会很黑，邻居们可能会出来被石头绊倒。当时动作还没有发生，与后面所给时态will come一致，用将来时，故填will be。

【9】strength.考查名词。由his修饰，故此空用名词，指用尽他所有的力气，故填名词strength。

【10】Under.考查介词。此处指在石头下面他发现了一袋钱。表示“在……下面”，故填Under。
