【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者出生于一个贫穷的家庭，她小时候就开始梦想成为一名医生，然而在读中学时，她开始贪图漂亮衣服，总想和别人出去闲逛，变成一名后进生。后来在母亲的帮助与教导下，从后进生一跃名列前茅，成为优秀生，并实现了自己的梦想，成为了一名医生。作者想通过这一成功的事例说明：在教育子女的问题上，父母才是最好的老师。

【1】句意：我梦想成为一名医生。

根据空后becoming a doctor，可知梦想成为一名医生。动词词组dream of doing sth.“梦想做某事”，此处指小时候的梦想，所以用一般过去时dreamed，故选C。

【2】句意：通过她的工作，她发现成功的人读书的时间比看电视多得多。

根据people spent a lot more time reading than watching television.“读书的时间比看电视多得多。”结合选项，可以推测出应是成功人士successful people，successful成功的，形容词，修饰people，故选D。

【3】句意：有了空闲时间，我们不得不从当地公共图书馆各读了两本书，并给她写了读书心得。

根据the local当地的和library图书馆，可知是当地公共图书馆，公共的public，形容词，修饰library，故选E。

【4】句意：几年后，我们意识到她的分数是个骗局。

根据My mother didn’t even know how to read.可知母亲根本不会读书，骗了他们，根据空前的冠词a，可知空处为可数名词，选项中只有trick“骗局”是名词，故选B。

【5】句意：我开始抱怨没有足够漂亮的衬衫。

根据not having enough pretty shirts.，可知作者开始抱怨没有足够漂亮的衬衫，complain about“抱怨某事”，began to complain about开始抱怨，故选E。

【6】句意：好吧，我会把这周打扫卫生间赚的钱都给你。

根据空前的动名词cleaning打扫，结合选项，可知bathrooms“卫生间”符合句意，根据句意，故选A。

【7】句意：我意识到我的母亲是一个天才，能够用餐桌上的任何食物来养活我们。
根据with any kind of food on the table，可知意思为用餐桌上的任何食物来养活我们。养活，喂养feed，be able to后用动词原形，故选D。

【8】句意：我回到了我的学业，再次成为一名A级学生，最后我的梦想实现了。

所剩选项at last最终；in all总计，根据句意，可知作者最终实现了梦想，所以用at last，故选B。
