【解析】

试题分析：本文是对本杰明·富兰克林的简单介绍。他是家中十几个小孩中最小的一位，最聪明，五岁会读，七岁会写。他喜欢用头脑帮助人们享受生活，发明了游泳桨。

1.name 句意：男孩的母亲和他的丈夫给了他一个名字：本杰明。破折号后是他的名字，故填：name。

2.cleverest句意：他是所有孩子中最聪明的。根据下文他五岁会读，七岁会写，说明他是所有孩子中最聪明的，多人相比，用最高级形式。故填：cleverest。

3.school句意：第二年，他的父母送他去学校。根据他的年龄，及正文中的“at school”可以推测出，父母送他去学校。故填：school。

4.books句意：他读了父亲所有的书。由前句的“擅长阅读”及下文的“喜欢书”，可以推测出“他读了父亲的所有书。”故填：books。

5.always句意：有钱时，他总是去买书。根据句型结构可知这里填频率副词，结合下文及被选项可知，本空填：always。

6.how 句意：他喜欢读书，它们告诉他怎样做一些事情。How to do sth怎样做事，故填：how。

7.find句意：男孩喜欢动脑并且尽力找到帮助人们享受生活的方式。找到方式，故填：find。

8.swim句意：比如说，他尽力想知道是否有一种游泳游得更远的方式。由下文他发明了simming paddle可知是“游泳”到更远处。故填：swim。

9.mind句意：慢慢地，一张游泳鞋的图片在他的头脑中产生了。在发明桨之前，他的头脑中先有这个事物的图象，故填：mind。

10.句意：桨不能太大或太小。与small相对，可知是大，故填：big。
