Neo was head of a village. He and his people lived in a land far away. There was a monster in the land too. The monster was very big and strong, $^{(1)}$ nobody could beat it. It killed many people in Neo's village.
When Neo $^{(2)}$ (become) head of the village, he said he would beat the monster one day. However, Neo didn't do anything about it for many years. When people asked him about it, he would say, "I will beat the monster, but not now." To keep $^{(3)}$ (live), Neo always asked his people to move here and there. They must stay away $^{(4)}$ the monster.
Years passed and Neo became an old man. On a cold night, Neo asked his people to get together. He said it was time to beat the monster. People were $^{(5)}$ (surprise) because they already forgot Neo's words about killing the monster. But they believed in Neo. They took their weapons and went to the monster's cave. When they arrived at the cave, they saw the monster $^{(6)}$ (lie) on the ground. It was too weak to get up, so they killed it $^{(7)}$ (easy).
They asked Neo $^{(8)}$ the monster was so weak. Neo said, "Do you notice that the monster never comes during very cold days? I find that it is afraid of the cold. Today is $^{(9)}$ (cold) day in these years."
Hearing $^{(10)}$ (he) words, people learned a lot. Sometimes, being patient could be better than doing something right away.

解析：
1. 考查连词。前半句“怪物又大又壮”和后半句“没人能打败它”是因果关系，故填so。
2. 考查动词时态。根据主句中的said可知此处用一般过去时，become的过去式是became。
3. 考查形容词。keep后接形容词作表语，live的形容词形式alive表示“活着的”，符合“为了活下去”的语境。
4. 考查固定搭配。stay away from是固定短语，意为“远离”，故填from。
5. 考查形容词。此处修饰people，形容人的感受用-ed形式的形容词surprised，意为“惊讶的”。
6. 考查非谓语动词。see sb doing sth表示“看到某人正在做某事”，此处指看到怪物正躺在地上，故填lying。
7. 考查副词。此处修饰动词killed，要用副词形式，easy的副词是easily。
8. 考查宾语从句引导词。根据答语可知人们是询问怪物虚弱的原因，故用why引导宾语从句。
9. 考查形容词最高级。根据in these years的范围提示，此处要用最高级，cold的最高级是the coldest，前面需加定冠词the。
10. 考查形容词性物主代词。此处修饰名词words，要用he的形容词性物主代词his。
