【文章大意】这篇短文主要记述了一位农民在谷仓里面，丢失了自己的手表。无奈之下，请求一群孩子们帮忙。最后被一位小男孩凭借着手表发出的声音，找到了这块手表。从而告诉我们一个道理，有时候平和的心态，冷静思考更有助于我们解决问题。

【1】 此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是The watch ，定语从句中缺少主语，要用关系代词引导，非限制性定语从句不能用that引导。故填which。

【2】 句意：他答应奖励那个找到手表的人。to后面是宾语从句，表示＂凡是……的人＂用whoever作宾语从句的主语。故填whoever。

【3】 此处是非谓语动词作状语，the children 和hear是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故填Hearing。

【4】 指代上文的the children 作这句话的主语用They。

【5】 句意：这个农民刚要放弃，这时一个小男孩朝他走过来。 be about to do sth when意为＂刚要做某事这时……＂。故填when。

【6】 不定冠词+序数词表示＂再一次，又一次＂。second是辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。

【7】 此处是with复合结构，with+宾语+介词短语作宾语补足语。故填with。

【8】 修饰the farmer表示状态。故填surprised。

【9】 do nothing but do sth意为＂只好做某事＂，是固定搭配。故填sit。

【10】 和than搭配用比较级。故填better。
