【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文是有关对成功的看法。有人说，初学者靠运气，而其它人相信，成功只来自实践。实际上我感觉这两个观点不会总是真的。但最终成功需要付出艰苦的努力。

1.有人说，初学者靠运气，而其它人相信，成功只来自实践。while然而,是连词.根据句意，填while。

2.实际上我感觉这两个观点不会总是真的。both两者都，both与not 连用表示部分否定。据each is true in some ways but not in others.在某些方面两者是真的，在其他方面就不是了。可知填both.

3.很多年前我去参加一个画画竞赛，幸运地赢了。luckily幸运地，修饰动词won要用副词，故填luckily.

4.因为那是我第一次参加竞赛，所以我真的很惊讶。first第一，定冠词the后跟序数词，故填first.

5.但结果是我从没再赢过。result结果，是名词。做主语要用名词，故填the result。

6.逐渐的，我接受了这个事实-其他人比我拥有更优秀的艺术能力。accept接受，动词。作谓语要用动词，据句意故填accepted。

7.逐渐的，我接受了这个事实-其他人比我拥有更优秀的艺术能力。than前要用形容词的比较级，据句意故填greater。

8.美术不是我尤其感兴趣的东西。interested in 对……感兴趣，是固定短语。

9.这些经历告诉我很多东西。experience经历，可数名词。these+可数名词复数，据句意故填experiences。

10.虽然一开始我可能是幸运的，但我也需要付出艰苦的努力。need to do…需要做……,据句意故填need。

考点：阅读填空。
