【分析】
做这类首字母提示短文填空，首先第一步要通读全文，理清故事整体脉络：本文讲述了小玛丽最初误以为钱是普通的纸张，自己画假钞去买玩具被店主拒绝，之后通过帮爸爸洗车付出劳动赚到钱，最终明白金钱来之不易的小故事。接下来逐句结合上下文语境、已学的固定搭配，对应给出的首字母推导空缺单词，全部填完后再通读代入全文，检查语义是否通顺、语法是否正确，确保答案符合逻辑。
【解析】
1. 前文提到Mary看到妈妈花钱购买日常所需，对应此处结构为see sb. do sth.（看见某人做某事），表达“她看见爸爸用钱买新工具”，首字母为b，故填buy。
2. 后文Mary提到“他们给出纸之后就能从别人那里拿到东西”，说明Mary最初认为钱只是一些纸，首字母为p，故填paper。
3. 固定搭配have an idea表示“有了一个主意”，此处指Mary萌生了自己做“钱”的想法，首字母为i，故填idea。
4. 固定搭配in the size of表示“以……的尺寸”，此处指她把彩纸裁剪成100美元钞票的尺寸，首字母为s，故填size。
5. 此处爸爸向Mary解释，钱不是普通的纸，是一种特殊种类的纸，首字母为s，故填special。
6. 此处表达“那是生活里你唯一可以用来购买其他物品的纸”，the only表示“唯一的”，符合语境，首字母为o，故填only。
7. 前文爸爸提到要工作才能赚到钱，Mary询问“我可以工作来赚一些钱吗”，首字母为w，故填work。
8. 此处指她洗车之后得到了6美元，前面有数词six，可数名词dollar要变为复数形式，首字母为d，故填dollars。
9. 此处指经历过这次事件后，Mary现在知道了爸爸妈妈每天为了钱工作的原因，表达“为什么”，首字母为w，故填why。
10. 经历过辛苦劳动才赚到钱的体验，Mary决定未来用明智的方式花钱，修饰名词way用形容词wise，首字母为w，故填wise。
