【分析】
本题为英语选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 先通读全文，把握文章主旨（国王用煮熟的种子考验年轻人诚实，选拔新国王的故事）；2. 结合每个空的上下文语境、语法结构（词性、时态、固定搭配等），从给定词汇中选择合适的词，必要时调整词形；3. 填完后通读验证，确保语义通顺、逻辑合理。
【解析】
1. 空格修饰名词story，需用形容词，给定词中interest的形容词形式interesting（有趣的）符合语境；
2. 固定搭配it is time to do sth（到做某事的时间），此处表示选新国王，故填to choose；
3. 动词order后接人称代词宾格，指代前文的young men，故填them；
4. 此处表示“带着植物回来”，用介词with表伴随；
5. 情态动词would后接动词原形，结合语境“决定选新国王”，故填decide；
6. 全文为一般过去时，“得到种子”用get的过去式got；
7. 空格修饰名词pot，需用名词所有格，指代“那个年轻人的盆”，故填man's；
8. 前文提到plant，此处表示“他们的植物”，用复数形式plants；
9. 固定搭配to one's surprise（令某人惊讶的是），故填surprise；
10. 此处为祈使句，用动词原形，结合语境“记得要诚实”，故填remember。
【答案】
1. interesting 2. to choose 3. them
4. with 5. decide 6. got 7. man's
8. plants 9. surprise 10. remember
