【解析】本文通过讲述比尔和他的儿子买驴回家的故事，告诉我们一个道理：我们不可能让人人高兴。有时，我们应该遵循自己的内心要求。

【1】句意：“在天黑之前，这两个人开始回家。”根据 the two started to go back home.可知要回家，应在天黑之前，故用连词Before。

【2】句意：一个年轻的女士建议道：“为什么你们不骑驴身上？”Why don’t you do sth? 为什么不做某事? 故此处为don’t。

【3】句意：这两个人认为这是一个好主意，所以儿子让比尔坐在驴身上。根据it was a good idea,可知这是他们的想法，认为，故事发生在过去，故用过去式thought。

【4】句意：看看你的儿子。look at看看，故此处为at。

【5】句意：几分钟后，他们遇见了另一个人。位于时间短语A few minutes后，表示…..以后，故用副词later。

【6】句意：等一会，小伙子。wait a minute/moment等一会，有不定冠词a修饰，故用单数名词，故此处为minute/moment。

【7】句意：比尔和他的儿子决定一起坐在驴身上。decide to do sth决定做某事，此处发生在过去，故用一般过去时，故为decided。

【8】句意：为什么你们正在伤害这个可怜的动物？根据It is too little and is not a___9___ to carry both of you.可知这个小的驴，驮你们两个人，因此它是可怜的，故此处为poor。

【9】句意：它太小，不能驮你们两个人。be able to do sth能够做某事，故此处为able。

【10】句意：我们不能让人人高兴。根据Sometimes, we should just follow the heart.可知我们应该遵循内心，不要考虑让人人高兴，故此处为everyone/everybody。
