【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了理查德大学毕业后找到一份新工作，薪水很高，他工作很努力。但是不久他失眠了，工作经常出错，在看过医生之后，他吃了药睡了两天，导致老板大怒。

1.考查名词， 根据题干，可知他善于动脑筋 ，故应该是用头，而非其他部位。所以本题选B。

2.考查副词根据上文可知，得到的报酬多，工作就应该更努力。故用harder。所以本题选B。

3.考查形容词 ，根据something was wrong with the young man 可知，本句的意思应是“他晚上不能入睡。”故应该是fall asleep。所以本题选A。

4.考查形容词， 根据上文和下文的often made mistakes可知，他应该是累了，故用tired。其他选项明显不符合题意。所以本题选D。

5.考查固定短语 ，look for“寻找”，look at“看”，look after“照顾”，look over“检查”。根据句意，应该是医生给他做了检查。所以本题选D。

6.考查介词 ，根据he went to bed.可知，应该是在睡觉前吃药，故用before。所以本题选C。

7.考查动词短语， 根据in the morning可知，应该是早上醒来，故用wake up。所以本题选B。

8.考查名词 ，根据上文知道这是早上，当然是吃早饭，故用breakfast。所以本题选Ｄ。

9.考查副词， 根据题干，本句的意思是“我从来没有睡过这么好的觉。”故用never。所以本题选C。

10.考查动词， 根据Skunk (混蛋)!和下文我们可以推知，应该是老板对他喊，故用shout。所以本题选B。
