3. 修饰动词carve需用副词，care的副词形式为carefully；
4. 修饰名词beauty需用形容词，nature的形容词形式为natural；
5. the rest指代不可数名词work，与decide是被动关系，一般现在时的被动语态为is decided；
6. 介词for后接动词ing形式，develop的动名词为developing；
7. 由前面的“much clearer”可知，此处用比较级，故填stricter；
8. 固定搭配be satisfied表示“满意的”，故填satisfied；
9. 固定短语in one's twenties意为“在某人二十多岁时”，故填twenties；
10. 表示“他自己”，用反身代词himself。
