【解析】（1）dead 死去的，形容词。was dead 表示的是一种状态。 died 死 ，die的过去式。根据文章 three years ago（三年前），可看出是在说过去发生的事，即要用一边过去式。
（2） turned 转， returned 归还，返还. gave 给。根据文章he found a wallet ，发现一个钱包，to the owner 给了主人，主人还感谢了他，可以看出是归还了钱包。
（3） make sb do sth 让某人做某事。
（4）work hard 努力工作，work 动词，hard 副词。
（5）brought 带来，拿来（bring过去式）通篇文章都在讲过去发生的事，即用一般过去式。
（6）一段时间+later，表示多久以后; 一段时间+ago，表示多久以前； before 表示在.......以前，只能接点时间或具有点时间意义的其他名词，不能接段时间（several days 几天，是一个段时间。）根据句意此处是几天之后。
（7）as soon as 表示 一........就， before 在........之前， when 表示 当......时候， 根据文章意思，是他在去其他城市之前的意思。
（8）them 在此指的是文章提到的trees，trees是复数，故用them。
（9）try one's best to do sth。 尽力做某事。
（10）stealing 偷（在短文中已出现）,cutting 切, hurt 伤害。
