【解析】

【主旨大意】本文通過一個(gè)買肉和買面包不給足斤兩的故事，告訴我們誠信的重要性。同時(shí)指出其實(shí)誠實(shí)或者不誠實(shí)會(huì)成為一種習(xí)慣。

1. gave “給”；fed“喂養(yǎng)”；threw“扔”；sold“賣”。根據(jù)后邊面包師稱肉的重量，可知是賣給他的肉。

2.句意為“他決定稱肉的重量”。根據(jù)下句的weigh也可以選擇。

3.前邊提到了農(nóng)民，再次提到用the。

4. 農(nóng)民說自己因?yàn)楦F而不能買到稱。

5.沒有錢買能稱重量的東西，也沒有天平。

6.from為介詞，后加賓格代詞。

7.get back“回來；得到回報(bào)”；look back“往回看”；give back“歸還”；turn back“轉(zhuǎn)身”。句意為“生活中我們給予別人什么，也會(huì)從給別人那里得到什么”。

8.問自己這個(gè)問題。

9.根據(jù)下一句“Some dishonest people can lie(說謊) without a red face.” 可知誠實(shí)與不誠實(shí)都會(huì)成為習(xí)慣。

10.句意為：其他人說謊太多，以至于不知道真正的事情是什么了。
