试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Baker先生因为感谢Billy归还了他丢失的钱包，让他在自己家里工作。Baker先生喜欢种树，他刚刚种下的树，害怕被人偷走，所以交代Billy要照顾好它们。没想到，Billy把这些树都拔出来藏起来了。

1. 的原形是buy,意思是买；found 的原形是find, 发现；carried 的原形是carry，意思是携带；want 想要。根据下句话中He returned it to the owner的描述可知，他把钱包还给了失主，这个钱包是他在大街上发现的。故选A。

2. 钱包；pity ：遗憾；thanks：感谢； excuse：借口。根据文意可知，Billy把钱包还给了失主，故失主Baker先生应该向他表示感谢。故选C。

3. 办公室；city： 城市；town ：城镇；home： 家。根据下文的文意可知，Baker先生是让Billy在他自己的家里工作。故选D。

4. ：高兴的，满意的；angry： 生气的；bored： 感到厌烦的；sad ：伤心的。根据句意可知，Billy工作很努力，所以Baker先生和夫人都对他很满意。be pleased with sb. 对某人感到满意。故选A。

5. ：草；flower： 花；vegetable： 蔬菜；tree：树。根据下句话中he brought a few trees home, planted them…的描述可知，Baker先生带回家来一些树，种在家里，故他是喜欢种树。故选D。

6. ：花园；office： 办公室；city： 城市；room ：房间。根据文意可知，Baker先生带回来一些树，所以应该是种在花园里。故选A。

7. ：……之前；later ：……之后；before ：在……之前；after：在……之后。根据文意可知，在种下树后几天，Baker先生要外出了。故选B。later用在一段时间的后面，表示一段时间之后。

8. 思考，认为；talk ：谈论；learn： 学习，学会；worry：担心。根据上句话可知，Baker先生担心家附近的小孩偷他的树。故这里Billy应该对Baker先生说不要担心。故选D。

9. 是do 的过去式，用在过去时态中；does 是第三人称单数形式；has 和空后的come 构成现在完成时；will是一般将来时。根据句意可知，这里是Baker先生回来后问Billy，有没有人来偷树，故应该用现在完成时。故选B。

10. pull： 拉，拔；put： 放；pick：捡起。根据句意可知，Billy害怕有人来偷树，所以把树都拔出来藏起来了。故选B。

考点：故事类短文。
