答案：(1) their (2) staying (3) usually (4) the (5) started (6) hopes (7) beaches (8) and (9) healthy (10) for
解析：
1. 第(1)空：考查形容词性物主代词，修饰名词friends，需用they的形容词性物主代词their；2. 第(2)空：考查固定搭配like doing sth.，表示“喜欢做某事”，故填stay的动名词形式staying；3. 第(3)空：考查副词修饰动词，usual的副词形式usually用来修饰动词finish；4. 第(4)空：考查定冠词the，特指学校的跑步队，用定冠词the；5. 第(5)空：考查一般过去时，根据时间状语at the age of five，动词用过去式started；6. 第(6)空：考查一般现在时的第三人称单数变化，主语she是第三人称单数，hope变hopes；7. 第(7)空：考查可数名词复数，two后接可数名词复数，beach的复数形式是beaches；8. 第(8)空：考查并列连词and，连接swim和play games两个并列动作；9. 第(9)空：考查固定搭配keep healthy，health的形容词形式是healthy，keep后接形容词表保持某种状态；10. 第(10)空：考查固定搭配prepare sth. for...，表示“为……准备某物”，故填for。
