【解析】

试题分析：文章通过一个故事，向我们揭示了一个道理：世上的不公平本来没这么明显，正是由于众人的一点点的改变，使得这些不公愈演愈烈。

【1】found考查动词的时态。根据上下文的时态可知应使用过去式，故填found。

【2】nor考查连词搭配。neither …nor 表示既不…也不…，故填nor。

【3】why考查连词。why not do sth 为什么不做某事，固定搭配，故填why。

【4】reasonable考查形容词。其结构形式为 a/an+形容词+单数名词，故填reasonable。

【5】who考查定语从句的关系代词。先行词是Nick's guests, 表示人，故用who作关系代词，who在从句中做主语，故填who。

【6】at考查介词。固定搭配，at a price表示以什么的价格，故填at。

【7】for考查介词。show respect for sth表示对……表示尊敬，故填for。.

【8】possibly考查副词。副词作状语修饰动词destroy，故填possibly。

【9】a考查冠词。固定搭配，a small amount of sth少量的……，故填a。

【10】thinking考查非谓语动词。动名词表伴随。此题的结构为A, B, and C，其中A,C用and 连接表并列，谓语动词形式须一致，但B多数用现在分词形式表伴随，故填thinking。
