【解析】

一位老師想將自己的想法清晰的展示給學(xué)生，他舉了一個(gè)例子。他先把石頭放到瓶子里，然后在學(xué)生們以為瓶子滿了的時(shí)候，相繼有放進(jìn)去了沙子和水。這個(gè)例子告訴我們，在生活中，我們需要先做那些你喜歡或者值得做的事。

【1】句意：一位老師想要更清晰地向?qū)W生們展示他的想法，因此他在課上舉了個(gè)例子。

an后接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，根據(jù)下文“From the example above, his students understood him well.”可知老師在課上舉了個(gè)例子來表達(dá)自己的想法。example表示“例子”。故答案為example。

【2】句意：然后他小心地把一些石頭放到玻璃瓶里。

根據(jù)“When the glass was filled to the top and no more stones would fit inside…”可知老師是把石頭放到了玻璃瓶里面，此空為介詞into，意為“到……里面”。故答案為into。

【3】句意：這個(gè)瓶子滿了嗎？

根據(jù)下文“Then he asked the students again, ‘Is this glass full?”“然后他在一次問……”可知這次是老師第一次問“這個(gè)瓶子滿了嗎”，因此此空也是形容詞full。故答案為full。

【4】句意：他把沙子放進(jìn)去，搖晃瓶子，讓沙子到石頭之間的空隙里。

and連接兩個(gè)并列的謂語動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)“…causing the sand down into the spaces among the stones.”以及常識可知，想要沙子進(jìn)到石頭之間，需要搖晃瓶子。shake表示“搖晃”，此句時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)，因此此空為shake的過去式shook。故答案為shook。

【5】句意：他手伸到桌子下，拿出一瓶水。

根據(jù)上文“He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of sand.”可知到桌子底下拿東西是第二次發(fā)生，因此此空為again表示“再一次”。故答案為again。

【6】句意：一個(gè)男孩舉起手……

此句謂語動(dòng)詞raised表示“舉起”，結(jié)合常識可知，上課回答問題需要舉手，因此此空意為“手”，用hand表示。故答案為hand。

【7】句意：如果你不先把大石頭放進(jìn)去，你不可能把它們?nèi)�放進(jìn)去。

根據(jù)“…do these things first of all.”以及老師這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)是先把石頭放進(jìn)去可知，此空意為“首先”，用first表示。故答案為first。

【8】句意：記住/試著首先做這些事。

此句是一個(gè)祈使句，因此此空為動(dòng)詞原形，并且不定式作賓語。結(jié)合句意可知，“記住”和“試著”都符合句意，因此此空可以填remember或try。故答案為Remember/Try。
