【解析】這篇短文主要談到了如何做好自己的話題。告訴我們，盡管我們的父母還有我們自己對自己都有這樣或者那樣的期望，但是我們只要盡自己最大努力，做好自己就可以了。

【1】考查語境理解及詞語辨析。A. Again又，再；B. Next 接下來；C. Otherwise否則; 另外；D. However然而。however上下句之間存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。每個人都希望自己能與眾不同，但是長大后發(fā)現(xiàn)事實并非如此，故選D。

【2】考查不定代詞與語境理解。A. other其他；B. others其他，后不加名詞；C. ourselves 我們自己；D. themselves他們自己。句意：他們經(jīng)常把我們和其他人作比較。空后沒有名詞，又是泛指其他，所以選B。

【3】考查動詞與語境。A. believe相信；B. work 工作；C. mean意味著；D. show展示。句意：他們意思是很好的，但是我們得到的信息是我們不夠完美。根據(jù)句意是父母們的想法是好的。故選C。

【4】考查介詞與語境。句意：我們開始相信我們特別的唯一方式是比別人做的更好。此題指的是表示通過某種方式，所以用介詞by。故選C。

【5】考查代詞與語境理解。A. something 一些事情；B. anything任何事情；C. everything 每件事情；D. nothing沒有事情。句意：但總有一些人在一些事情上比我們優(yōu)秀。B. anything任何事情，用在否定句或疑問句中；D. nothing沒有事情。表示否定。本題表示的肯定。C. everything 每件事情，太絕對。故選A。

【6】考查語境理解及形容詞辨析。helpful有幫助的；impossible不可能的；necessary必要的；important重要的。有的人長得好看，還有的人有錢，我們不可能時時刻刻都比他人優(yōu)秀，故選B。

【7】考查形容詞比較級與語境。A. smarter可愛的；B. kinder 友善的；C. better 較好的；D. happier較高興。句意：我們都希望我們相信的東西能讓我們成為更好的人。由上文的句子It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.因此本題用better修飾名詞people，作賓補，表示我們想成為什么樣的人。其它形容詞不符合文意。故選C。

【8】考查語境理解及介詞辨析。inside在里面among在多個中間；around在……四周；for為了，對于。inside指內(nèi)心深處。但我們常常不知道我們內(nèi)心已經(jīng)擁有了我們想要的東西。故選A。

【9】考查語境理解及名詞辨析。friends朋友們；scientists科學(xué)家們；parents父母；doctors醫(yī)生們。在我們成長的過程中，父母有時候忘記告訴我們是非常的特別。故選C。

【10】考查副詞與語境理解。A. Also也；B. Anyway不管怎樣；C. Although 雖然；D. After all畢竟。句意：不管怎樣，我們應(yīng)該時不時提醒他們，我們每個人，以我們自己的方式，都是特別的。根據(jù)語境是不管怎樣的意思。故選B。
