【解析】

本文讲述了作者和弟弟之间感情的变化。弟弟刚出生时，作者觉得自己独宠的日子结束了，她对弟弟感到生气，经常不理他。后来，弟弟伸出手来安慰她时，他们之间的关系开始变好了。到现在，作者觉得从弟弟身上学到很多关于人生的道理。

1.

句意：在周围人的关注下，我在这个世界上度过了七年快乐的时光。

article文章；attention关注；advice建议；activity活动。根据句中“I had spent seven happy years”和“those around me”可知，我在这个世界上度过了七年快乐的时光，是因为我在周围人的关注下,而且是对我一个人的关注，因为此时我弟弟还没出生。故选B。

2.

句意：突然间，我不得不分享我的玩具，不再有睡前故事或我自己选择的食物。

chose选择；hide隐藏；share分享；collect收集。根据上文中“But when Rohan was born, life changed.”可知，罗翰出生后，生活变了，我不得不分享我的玩具。故选C。

3.

句意：这个可怜的孩子不知道是什么使我这么不高兴。

lonely孤单的；busy繁忙的；happy开心的；unhappy不开心的，不高兴的。根据上文中“Finally, I felt my anger at my brother.”可知，我对我弟弟充满了愤怒，所以这个可怜的孩子不知道是什么使我这么不高兴。故选D。

4.

句意：然而，我很少和他说话，总是让他离我远点。

always总是；already已经；almost几乎；hardly几乎不。根据上文中“Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around.”和本句中however可知，前后两句意思转折，弟弟总是喜欢跟着我，但是我很少和他说话，总是让他离我远点。故选A。

5.

句意：我几乎不记得六年前那天的任何事情，但我记得我当时非常生气。

for为了；but但是；or或者；so因此。根据句中“I hardly remember anything”和“I remember that I was feeling very angry”可知，前后两个分句意思转折，即：我几乎不记得六年前那天的任何事情，但我记得我当时非常生气。故选B。

6.

句意：不知为什么，我的脚把我带去了我弟弟的床边。

foot脚，feet是foot的复数形式。根据句中“led me to”可知，此处是“我的脚把我带去了弟弟的床边”，也就是我不知不觉走到了弟弟的床边，此处应使用foot的复数形式feet。故选D。

7.

句意：他立刻伸出小手，轻轻地碰了碰我。

me我；them他们；him他；her她。根据上文中“My hand, completely free from my mind, reached through the bars.”可知，我的手伸过了护栏，所以是弟弟手轻轻地碰了碰我。故选A。

8.

句意：我第一次不是以一个不再受宠的孩子的眼光看我弟弟，而是以一个姐姐的眼光看他。

last最后；second第二；first第一；next下一个。根据上文中“However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.”和“And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, the moment changed everything.”可知，起初作者很少和弟弟说话，到后来在弟弟床边，弟弟用手触碰作者，从那时起一切都发生了改变，所以作者是第一次以姐姐的眼光看待弟弟。故选C。

9.

句意：直到今天，我都无法想象没有我弟弟的生活。

see看到；count计算；suggest建议；imagine想象。根据下文中“It is unbelievable how much I have learnt about life from a seven-year-old boy.”可知，令人难以置信的是，我从一个七岁的男孩身上学到了如此多的生活知识，所以我无法想象没有我弟弟的生活。故选D。

10.

句意：令人难以置信的是，我从一个七岁的男孩身上学到了如此多的生活知识。

cared关心；learned学习；talked谈论；heard听说。根据下文中“Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself”可知，罗翰教会我，一个人不应该只关心自己，所以此处是“我从一个七岁的男孩身上学到了如此多的生活知识”。故选B。
