【解析】试题分析：作者接触了两个较年长的姐妹，通过和她们交往及目睹她们对生活的态度，收获很多。

【1】the.考查冠词。形容词最高级前用the修饰，故填the。

【2】whose.考查代词。句中包含定语从句，先行词是two elderly sisters, Joan and Bernice指人，在定语从句中作定语修饰way，指她们的谈话方式，故用关系代词whose。

【3】pleasure.考查名词。此处由a修饰，指一件令人高兴的事，故填名词pleasure。

【4】happier.考查形容词比较级。此处是否定词加比较级表示最高级的意思，指见到我她们最高兴。故填happier。

【5】was talked.考查时态语态。此处指每个人都被用积极的方式交谈。和本段时态一致用过去时的被动，故填was talked。

【6】is.考查动词。此处是反意疑问句，与反问部分isn't she一致，用系动词is，故填is。

【7】how.考查副词。此处修饰形容词wonderful，指多么精彩。故填how。

【8】them.考查代词。用于care about后面作宾语用宾格，指关心他们。故填them。

【9】towards. 考查介词。表示“对…的态度”用attitude towards，故填towards。

【10】thankful.考查形容词。动词be后用形容词作表语，指我总是很感激的。故填thankful。
