【解析】短文属于记叙文。描述了Lisa由于超重引起的重重烦恼，后来在朋友们的帮助下，找回了自信。

1.后面是形容词，用连系动词look“看起来，显得”。

2.根据上下文，因为她超重，所以买到合适的成衣不容易。

3.使用了“ask sb. to do sth.”结构。

4.在定语从句中做主语，指代chair, 用关系代词which。

5.意思是“人们对待她”，代替Lisa,使用her。

6.这里是“不应该”的意思。should“应该”。

7.enjoy后用动词现在分词形式（V-ing）；根据上下文，他害怕长胖，应排除“做运动”。

8.亲朋好友从不取笑她，反而尽力帮助她。instead“代替，取而代之”。

9.not与anyone连用，意思是“不与任何人说话”。

10.前面有now,用一般现在时；主语是复数，be动词用are。

11.根据后文的“the play”可知，跟艺术有关。

12.通过下文可知，她表演很成功。可推断：她同意了。

13.“so…that”结构，“如此……以致于”。

14.对别人的成功表示祝贺的用语。

15.固定短语“worry about”“为…而担忧”。
