Question

    We all want others to respect us. None of us wants to be disrespected or seen as a bad person. An equally basic truth is that the only way we can get respect is to earn it. At a certain point in the process of growing up, we r1. that life isn't going to give us something for nothing. What is meaningful is what we earn (赢得) t2. trying and working hard.

Take a minute to think about this: Imagine two people. One person has drifted(漂泊) unhappily through his life, putting little e3. into his work and maybe even at times d4.on others. One morning, the telephone rings and someone says to this person.

"C5.!You have just won a million dollars in the state lottery (彩票)""The other person works hard and eventually earns a million dollars. That person is w6. respected by others and has a strong sense of achievement. Which person would you want to be-the one who won a million dollars o7. the one who earned a million dollars?

Probably you would choose to be the person who worked hard, overcame (克服) difficulties and achieved success. If you relate to that person, your aim may be: "I want to respect m8.and have others respect me. To get this respect, I am going to work hard. At this stage in my life, that means doing well in school—it's clearly a key to s9.."

And if you have made mistakes in the past (many of us have), you should tell yourself. "I can change myself. I am going to learn to work hard so that I can get somewhere and be s10.." You need to believe in the saying, "No pains, no gains." The only way to gain respect is by working hard.

【解析】

本文通过举例一种赢得一百万的人和一种通过自己努力赚得一百万的人，来说明只有通过不断地努力才能获得别人的尊重。

1.

句意：在成长过程中的某一刻，我们意识到生活不会白白给我们某样东西。

根据句子结构，此句是一个宾语从句，从句中isn’t是一般现在时，主句也用一般现在时。根据从句life isn't going to give us something for nothing及结合首字母，可知，我们意识到生活不会白白给我们某样东西，主语we是复数，所以空格处填动词原形realize。故答案为realize。

2.

句意：有意义的是我们通过尝试和努力工作所得到的东西。

空格后trying和working都是动名词，并且根据what we earn及结合首字母，可知，通过尝试和努力工作我们才会得到某些东西，所以空格处填介词through。故答案为through。

3.

句意：一个人不幸地漂泊了一生，在工作上不太努力，或许甚至有时依赖其他人。

little修饰不可数名词。根据前文One person has drifted(漂泊) unhappily through his life及所给首字母，可知，这种不幸地漂泊了一生的人通常在工作上不太努力，所以空格处填effort。故答案为effort。

4.

句意：一个人不幸地漂泊了一生，在工作上不太努力，或许甚至有时依赖其他人。

and表并列关系，连接的前后词性要一致，and前putting是现在分词作伴随状语，所以此空也要用现在分词。根据putting little effort into his work及所给首字母，可知，在工作上不太努力的人有时总会依赖其他人，所以空格处填depending。故答案为depending。

5.

句意：恭喜你！你彩票中了100万美元。

根据You have just won a million dollars in the state lottery，可知，彩票中了100万是一件好事，所以要恭喜对方，位于句首的单词首字母要大写，所以空格处填Congratulations。故答案为Congratulations。

6.

句意：那种人很受其他人尊敬，并有强烈的成就感。

根据句子结构，空格处修饰动词respect，所以用副词。根据前文The other person works hard and eventually earns a million dollars，可知，通过努力工作赚得一百万的人总是很受他人尊敬，所以空格处填副词well。故答案为well。

7.

句意：你想成为哪一种人——赢了一百万的人还是赚得一百万的人？

根据Which person would you want to be，可知，此处是询问想成为赢了一百万的人还是成为赚得一百万的人，表选择关系，所以空格处填连词or。故答案为or。

8.

句意：我想尊敬我自己，并且让其他人尊敬我。

根据前文Probably you would choose to be the person who worked hard, overcame (克服) difficulties and achieved success，可知，努力工作，克服困难并取得成功的这种人通常会尊敬自己，也想得到其他人的尊敬，oneself表示“某人自己”，反身代词要与句中的主语在人称上保持一致，此句的主语是I，所以空格处填myself。故答案为myself。

9.

句意：在我生命的这个阶段，那意味着要在学校好好表现——这显然是成功的关键。

根据句子结构，动词不定式修饰名词key。根据that means doing well in school，可知，在学校好好表现，努力学习是成功的关键，所以空格处填success。故答案为success。

10.

句意：我要学着努力工作，这样我才能到有所成就并成为某种人。

句中so that引导目的状语从句，根据前文I am going to learn to work hard，可知，学着努力工作的目的是能取得成就，并成为让人尊敬的某个人，所以空格处填someone。故答案为someone。
