试题分析： 本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了工作努力地Tom一直没有被提拔，就去提了辞职信，经理让他最后做一件事情，去市场问问西瓜的价格，他问了之后经理又问了其他问题，他只能重新去市场，经理让Bob去做同样的事情，他却做得十分周到，因而Tom懂得了很多决定留下。

【1】an考查冠词。由于后面形容词ordinary发音是元音开头，所以要用冠词an，故填an。

【2】pleasant / pleasing 考查形容词。形容词pleasant或者pleasing用来修饰guys，表示“合意的”，故填pleasant / pleasing。

【3】but 考查连词。根据上下文句意可知此处表示转折，故填but。

【4】before 考查从属连词。此处表示“在离开之前”，故填before。

【5】one考查不定代词。不定代词one用来指watermelon，故填one。

【6】shook考查动词语态。shake one’s hand表示“摆了摆手”，且需用过去式，故填shook。

【7】to inform考查动词不定式。此处不定式表示目的，故填to inform。

【8】gently考查副词。副词gently用来修饰动词said，故填gently。

【9】for考查介词。

【10】which 考查关系代词。
