【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍作者毕业后做销售工作,但是天生的忧心忡忡的脸让他很难成功,为此作者开始练习每天微笑,对遇到的每个人衷心的微笑,作者得到的回报很多。

【1】had worn; had been wearing 考查时态。句意：我发现从小时候就有的担心的表情意味着一定会失败。时间状语是since childhood,而主句是过去时,用过去完成时had been wearing。故填had been wearing。had worn也可。

【2】 hardship 考查名词。句意：我知道要改变由于多年的辛苦导致的表情不容易。Of后面接名词hardship。故填hardship。

【3】 forced 考查被动语态。句意：这种微笑不能是强迫的笑容。force和smile是被动关系,故填forced。

【4】 an 考查冠词。句意：这应该是发自内心的诚实的友好的微笑。honest是元音开头的单词,用不定冠词an。故填an。

【5】how 考查连词。句意：让我们看看每天以十五分钟的微笑训练开始对我有什么好处。用疑问词how。故填how。

【6】 Before 考查连词。句意：在进办公室前,我会想一些让我感谢的事情。故填before。

【7】to get 考查固定词组。fail to do没能做……,故填to get。

【8】in 考查介词。句意：很少情况我没有得到回报的微笑。in return做为回报。故填in。

【9】 and 考查连词。句意：给每个你遇到的人你的微笑,看看你看起来和感觉有多么好。这两句话是并列的,故填and。

【10】 myself 考查人称代词。句意：我发现自己到处都受欢迎。故填myself。
