【分析】
通读短文理解语境，结合语法规则逐一分析每个空：1. 由并列连词and可知，前后动词形式需一致，前面是现在分词shining，故用make的现在分词making；2. 此处泛指“一棵树”，tree以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a；3. 考查固定搭配make sb do sth，故用动词原形laugh；4. many后接可数名词复数，故填thing的复数things；5. 连接并列的动作，用连词and；6. 引导时间状语从句，表“当……时”，用When；7. 修饰名词stories，需用each other的所有格other's；8. 修饰动词say，用副词quickly；9. 表“对于我来说”，用介词For；10. 修饰名词mind，用形容词性物主代词our。词汇拓展中choose是动词，意为“选择”。
【解析】
1. 并列结构：and连接两个并列的现在分词作表语，故填making；
2. 冠词：泛指单数可数名词“树”，用不定冠词a；
3. 固定搭配：make sb do sth结构中，用动词原形作宾补，故填laugh；
4. 名词复数：many修饰可数名词复数，故填things；
5. 连词：连接并列谓语动词，用and；
6. 时间状语从句：When引导时间状语从句，符合语境；
7. 所有格：each other的所有格修饰名词stories，故填other's；
8. 副词：副词修饰动词，故用quickly；
9. 介词：For表示“对于”，符合句意；
10. 物主代词：形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故填our；
词汇拓展：choose为动词，意思是“选择”。
