Another lesson comes from bamboo. It bends in a strong wind but (not break). This teaches us to be flexible and (courage) when we face challenges.

【分析】本题为英语词汇形式填空题，需根据句子的时态、词性要求、单复数规则及固定搭配，将括号内的单词变形为正确形式。解题时需逐句分析每个空的语法成分，确定所需词性、时态、单复数等，再对单词进行对应变形。
【解析】1. 主语This为单数，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故teach变teaches；2. difficult为形容词，后接可数名词，此处泛指多种情况，用复数，故situation变situations；3. 此处为“be+形容词”的主系表结构，需用形容词，故直接用short；4. 修饰动词grows需用副词，故slow变slowly；5. 主语A sunflower为单数，一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数，故face变faces；6. lose为动词，后接名词作宾语，confident的名词形式为confidence；7. 主语It为单数，一般现在时的否定句，实义动词break前加doesn't，故为doesn't break；8. and连接并列的形容词，前面是flexible（形容词），故需将名词courage变为形容词courageous；9. should为情态动词，后接动词原形，故用learn；10. these为指示代词，后接可数名词复数，故lesson变lessons。
【答案】1. teaches 2. situations 3. short 4. slowly 5. faces 6. confidence 7. doesn't break 8. courageous 9. learn 10. lessons
