【解析】本文讲述了希尔小时候被认为是个差孩子，他的爸爸也这样认为。自从他爸爸和继母结婚后，继母认为他是个聪明、有创造力的孩子，继母的话感动了他。继母给了他一台打字机，希望他成为作家。在继母的鼓励下，希尔越来越成功。文章告诉我们：真诚的鼓励比说坏话对孩子更重要。

【1】has been

句意为：……自从他妈妈去世之后，他就是最差的孩子。根据句意可知，此处指“变成，成为”，应选be，根据“since his mother died”可知此处应用现在完成时，主语为第三人称单数，故填has been。

【2】and

句意为：让希尔吃惊的是，他的继母面带微笑走到他的面前，扶起他的头然后仔细地看着他。此空前后为两个并列的动作，应用并列连词and。

【3】to show

句意为：她说：“你错了，他只是没有找到地方来展示他的聪慧与创造力。”根据语境可知空处应表示“展示”。故选show。分析句子结构可知，此处需要用动词不定式作后置定语，故填to show。

【4】tears

句意为：他继母的话温暖着他的心，他的眼里满是泪水。根据语境及常识可知是充满泪水，tear为可数名词，故填tears。

【5】friends

句意为：就这样，他的继母变成了他的好朋友之一。分析句子结构可知此处应填名词作宾语，根据句意应是他的继母成为了他的好朋友之一，选词friend。one of+可数名词复数，故填friends。

【6】smart

句意为：在他继母来之前，没人认为他是聪明的。根据上文中继母的话“You’re wrong. He just doesn’t find a place 3.????? his cleverness and creativity.”可知继母夸赞他聪明，be动词后接形容词，结合备选词汇可知填smart。

【7】him

句意为：她给他买了一台二手打字机并对他说：“我相信你将会成为一名作家。”此处对希尔进行指代，应用he。buy sb. sth. 表示给某人买某物，此处sb.为宾语，故填him。

【8】was accepted

句意为：后来，他写的东西被报社接受 。根据句意，此处指“接受，认可”，选词accept。根据by可知此处应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was accepted。

【9】especially

句意为：赞扬永远都是有必要的，尤其是对孩子。根据句意推理空中所填信息应为“尤其是”， 选词especial，且此处句子结构完整，应用副词形式，故填especially。

【10】better

句意为：一句真诚的赞扬也许比一万句坏话更好。根据语境，希尔正是因为继母的赞扬而走上正途，收获人生，所以此处讲述赞扬的积极作用，应选good。结合than可知应用比较级，故填better。
