10.to achieve

【解析】本文讲述了要利用好自己犯的错误，错误是很有价值的，你可以从错误中学到很多来实现你的目标。

1.valuable 考查形容词。be valuable“有价值的”，be动词后需用形容词作表语，故用value的名词形式valuable。

2.it 考查形式主语。这里是it引导的形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。结构是it is +adj. +to do sth，故填it。

3.that 考查同位语从句。该句连接词在句中不作成分，解释说明fact的内容，故是作fact的同位语，故用that引导同位语从句。

4.from 考查短语。run away from sth从……逃跑，故填from。

5.has been made 考查现在完成时。由already可知，该句需用现在完成时，又因mistake与make之间是被动关系，所以该句需用被动语态。

6.Pay 考查动词。由后文的learn可知，这里并列连接的动词pay也需用原形。

7.back 考查词组。look back“往回看”。这里指的是犯错误时不要往回看的时间过长。故填back。

8.wisdom 考查名词。介词of后需用名词，所以需用wise的名词形式wisdom。

9.The 考查冠词。这里表示特指“当下”。所以需填the。

10.to achieve 考查动词不定式。这里用动词不定式表示目的，这里的意思是：利用好你的错误来实现你的目标和志向。故填to achieve。

【名师点睛】

本题难点解读

1：形式主语it引导的主语从句，其常用句型之一为it is +adj+to do sth，此时动词不定式是真正的主语。

______2______ is usually very easy to find someone else to blame. 该句中it作形式主语。

2：that引导的同位语从句在句中不做任何成分，且所补充的名词多为抽象概念的名词如fact，idea等，注意区分同位语从句与定语从句的区别，定语从句中that在句中担任成分，且先行词不限定。

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact ______3______ they demand a cost that must be paid.句中含有抽象名词fact，且句中不缺少成分，故填that，引导同位语从句。
