本文讲述了一个明智的父亲用一捆筷子教他的七个儿子始终要团结在一起的故事。
1. fought with 根据后句“It made some bad people happy because ...”可知，这让一些坏人开心，说明他们总是互相打架，文中上下句都用了一般过去时，所以此处答案应该填 fought with，意思是“与……打架”。
2. father's 根据上下文语境可知，此处表示这让一些坏人很高兴，因为他们想骗走兄弟们的父亲的钱，故此处答案应该填名词所有格 father's。
3. to help 此处用固定短语 decide to do sth.，意为“决定做某事”，故此处答案应该填动词不定式 to help。
4. strongest 根据后面的 who can break this bundle 可知，谁能折断这一捆筷子，父亲就会把所有的钱给他，说明这个儿子是七个人中最强壮的，the 用来修饰形容词最高级，故此处答案应该填 strongest。
5. agreed 根据前句理解可知，七个儿子都尽力去折断这一捆筷子，但是太难了，此处应该是他们一致同意，要折断这一捆筷子是不可能的，上下文时态是一般过去时，故此处答案应该填动词 agree 的过去式 agreed。
6. Anyone 句意：任何人都能做到。根据句意可知，此空格处需要填 Anyone，意思是“任何人”，注意首字母需要大写。
7. went on 此处 go on 意为“继续”，是固定搭配。讲述的是过去的事情，需要用一般过去时，所以用 go 的过去式 went。
8. broken 句意：但如果你们打架，你们就会像这些筷子一样，又破碎又脆弱。根据“... and weak”可知，两者之间是并列关系，所以此处应该用 and 连接的两个形容词，结合方框中的词，此处答案应该填 broken。
9. carefully 空格前的 listened 是动词过去式，所以应该填 careful 的副词形式 carefully。listen carefully 的意思是“仔细听”。
10. kept 句意：他们信守诺言，一起面对生活中的困难，就像他们聪明的父亲教导他们的一样。此处动词短语 keep one's promise 的意思是“遵守诺言”。上下文都是一般过去时，所以此处答案应该填动词 keep 的过去式 kept。
