【解析】

【主旨大意】本篇短文通过讲述一个有智慧的老师叫学生把生活中不喜欢的人名写在马铃薯上，日积月累，马铃薯变多了，且变坏了，从而让学生明白不要把别人的仇恨放在心上，在生活中要学会宽容。

1.由下文知，老师叫学生每人带一个塑料袋和一袋马铃薯到学校，因此用动词bring。

2. 由题意“把名字和日期写在马铃薯上”，因此用介词on。

3. 由前文“一天天，学生的书包变重了”，因此用heavy。

4. 由后文“坐在车子里时，要放在座位上”可推知，前文“晚上睡觉时放在被子里”，因此选D。

5.由动词原形get知，应选B，因为选项中只有动词make后接动词原形。

6.由题意“他们不得不一直关注它，以致于不会忘记”，so that以致于，因此选C。

7. 由前文“马铃薯变坏了”知，闻起来恶心，smell闻起来，因此选C。

8. 由题意“我们经常性地把宽容作为一份礼物送给其他的人”，other people其他的人，因此选B。

9. 由前文知，悲伤和仇恨放在心里，因此用hearts。

10. 由题意“你已从这位老师身上明白了一些事情吗？”，因此选A。
