本文讲述的是《程门立雪》的历史故事。
1. from 考查介词。固定短语learn sth. from sb.意为“从某人那里学到某物”。
2. called 考查非谓语动词。根据“another man ... Cheng Yi”可知，call和another man之间是被动关系，故此处用called作后置定语。
3. When 考查连词。根据“... they got to Cheng's house”可知，空处引导时间状语从句，句首单词首字母大写，故填When。
4. to wait 考查非谓语动词。decide to do sth.决定做某事。
5. stood 考查时态。根据and didn't leave可知，时态为一般过去时，故填过去式stood。
6. surprised 考查形容词。was后用形容词作表语，surprised意为“惊讶的”，修饰人。
7. quickly 考查副词。修饰动词invited用副词。
8. being 考查非谓语动词。look forward to doing sth.盼望做某事。
9. a 考查冠词。with a smile意为“带着微笑”。
10. best 考查最高级。“one of +名词所有格+形容词最高级+复数名词”表示“……的最……的……之一”。
