試題分析：這篇短文講述的是作者如何解決害羞這一問題。作者介紹，可以找一些事情來做，這樣就有機(jī)會和別人說話，慢慢克服害羞這一問題。

【1】根據(jù)下文“except you”的描述并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是除了你，每個人都在說話。故應(yīng)填：Everyone。

【2】根據(jù)下文“Maybe you just aren’t brave enough to speak”的描述并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是你害怕他們會嘲笑你所說的話。故應(yīng)填afraid。

【3】根據(jù)上文的描述可知，這里指的是害羞就像一條蛇爬進(jìn)你的嘴巴，阻止你說話。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：speaking，stop doing sth為固定搭配。

【4】根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是今天那條蛇有時仍然還來光顧我。這個句子表示的是現(xiàn)在的情況，應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時，且主語是第三人稱單數(shù)。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：visits。

【5】根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是一個陌生人問我去當(dāng)?shù)厣痰甑穆?/span>。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：way，“the way to ...”為固定短語，表示“去某地的路”。

【6】根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是作者在飯館找到了一份工作。聯(lián)系下文“helped”可知，這里應(yīng)用一般過去時。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：got。

【7】根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是作者必須詢問顧客是喜歡可樂還是雪碧。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：if，表示是否。

【8】根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是尋找其他的機(jī)會和別人說話。聯(lián)系下文“you can offer to help ------Or you can…”可知應(yīng)用名詞復(fù)數(shù)。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：chances。

【9】根據(jù)語境并結(jié)合所給詞匯可知，這里指的是你可以主動幫一個老太太提她的重包。故應(yīng)填：carry。

【10】聯(lián)系上下文的描述可知，這里指的是如果你做這些事情一段時間，害羞蛇就開始離開。由于這是一個由if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時，主句應(yīng)用一般將來時。結(jié)合所給詞匯可知應(yīng)填：will leave。
