【1】句意：每天早晨，这位祖父早早起床然后读他的《薄伽梵歌》。

son儿子；father父亲；grandfather祖父；grandmother祖母。根据前文“An old farmer lived with his grandson”，可知此处指的是这位祖父，故选C。

【2】句意：读它有什么用呢？

time时间；place地方；use用处；habit习惯。根据前文“I try to read the book like you, but I can’t understand it, and I forget it easily”，可知此处孙子不明白读这个有什么用处，故选C。

【3】句意：把这个炭篮子带去河边，然后给我带一篮子水回来。

house房子；beach沙滩；bridge桥；river河。根据后文说要打水，可知此处是带去了河边，故选D。

【4】句意：这个男孩按他祖父说的做了，但是所有的水在他回家之前就漏光了。

if如果；because因为；until直到；before在……之前。根据句意，可知此处表示回家前水都漏了，故选D。

【5】句意：他告诉祖父很难用篮子装水。

difficult困难的；interesting有趣的；possible可能的；popular受欢迎的。根据前文，可知男孩一直无法成功用篮子打回水，所以此处他是觉得很难，故选A。

【8】句意：它从一个肮脏的旧煤炭篮子变成了一个干净的，从里到外都是。

white白色的；clean干净的；small小的；long长的。根据前文的change，可知要和dirty相反，所以应该是表示“干净的”，故选B。

【9】句意：孩子，你在读这本书时可能不能理解或记住所有。

somebody某人；something某事；anybody任何人；everything一切。根据前文，可知男孩完全看不懂这本书，故选D。

【10】句意：但是当你读了它，你会变得从里到外都不同。
