【10】given

【解析】 人是有家庭价值观的。这些价值观是一代代相传的，价值观塑造了我们的行为方式，帮助家庭团结。然而这些价值观随着时间是会变化的。

【1】from

考查固定搭配。家庭价值观是帮助我们定义为人类的原则。这些价值观是习得的，通常代代相传。pass down from把…传下去/传下来。

【2】depending

考查非谓语作状语。然而这些价值观也可以随着时间的推移而变化，这取决于家庭知道自己所处的情形。they can also change over time是主句。depending upon the circumstances是修饰前面的句子，价值观随着时间而变化，这取决于他们所在家庭及他们所在的环境。depend on与前面句子是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。

【3】who

考查定语从句。我们总是钦佩一个尊重老人，帮助有需要的人。先行词是a person ，person在定语从句中作主语。故要用who.

【4】admirable

考查形容词。这种令人钦佩的行为通常是家庭教育所教的价值观的直接结果。

【5】honesty

考查名词。这些原则或基本原则——尊重，公平和正直等。正直，要用名词honesty。

【6】the

考查冠词。当问题出现了，这个家庭能承受住，这是因为他们有共同的观念。the ，限定名词要用定冠词。

【7】what

考查名词从句。…they share the same idea about___7___ is important…。About后面有个宾语从句，宾语从句缺主语，故用what。

【8】when

考查连词。当我们谈论我们的个性时和什么影响我们的决定时……。从上下文可知是时间状语。当……时候when。

【9】influences

考查主谓一致。主语是what时谓语动词influence要用单数，故要用influences。

【10】given

考查非谓语作定语。我们这样做是基于家庭给我们的价值观。The values后有一个后置定语，give与the values是被动关系。故要用过去分词作定语。故要用given。
