【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇寓言故事。主人在地里埋下了骨头和胡萝卜，想看看狗和兔子哪个先找到。狗一直在抱怨，而兔子却不停地挖，它乐观的认为当它每挖完一个洞的时候，剩下的洞就越来越少，也就离目标越来越接近。最后兔子在狗一直趴着的地方找到了骨头和胡萝卜。故事揭示的道理是：要想成功，少说话，多做事。

1. 考查疑问代词。 从上文内容可知农民想看看狗和兔子哪个先找到埋在地里的东西，填which。

2. 根据and后面的optimistic可以判断此处也应该用形容词，修饰名词rabbit，填cheerful。

3.

4.

5. 从语境可知此处表示兔子挖了几个小时，时间段前用介词for表示一段时间，填for。

6.

7.

8.

9. 名词place是可数名词，而且后面有定语限制，特指埋东西的地方，故填定冠词the。

10. /since/as考查连词。从内容可知前后句子是因果关系，所以填连词because，since或者as。

考点：考查语法填空
