【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍走路的方式可能会反映人的性格。研究表明：当面对新的挑战时，快速步行的人可能是活跃的，而安静的人则倾向于走得慢些。无论你属于哪种类型，充分利用你的优势，你都能成功。

【1】考查名词。根据tell something about your inner ___1___ (think)判断空格处是宾语，故填名词；此处如果填think的动名词thinking，它是抽象名词，不可数；如果填think的名词thought，它是可数名词，此处应用复数形式。句意：你选择的方式会反映出你的内心想法。故填thoughts/thinking。

【2】考查时态。此处是谓语动词，根据recently判断用现在完成时，主语researchers是复数，故填have observed。

【3】考查形容词性物主代词。根据personalities判断，空格处是定语，故填形容词性物主代词their。

【4】考查状语从句的省略。分析句子可知，此处是状语从句的省略，完整的从句为：when they are faced with the new challenges，句中省略了主语they和系动词are，be faced with (面临/面对)。故填faced。

【5】考查形容词。根据evidence判断，空格处是定语，故填形容词，power的形容词形式是powerful。故填powerful。

【6】考查副词。根据can’t ___6___ (instant) make判断此空是状语，用副词，instant的副词为instantly。故填instantly。

【7】考查定语从句。___7___ means that you needn’t change your personality.是定语从句，先行词是前面的整个句子，在从句中充当主语，故用关系代词which。句意：然而，加快你的步伐也不能立刻让你成为聚会的焦点，这意味着你没有必要改变你的性格。故填which。

【8】考查形容词。空格处作strengths的定语，故填形容词，逻辑主语strengths和hide之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语。句意：事实上，一个安静的人和一个活跃的人都有自己隐藏的优势。故填hidden。

【9】考查冠词。结合上下文可知，此处应译为“一个活跃的人”，是泛指，又active是元音音素开头，故填an。

【10】考查并列连词。此处考查固定句型：祈使句+and/or +陈述句。句意：充分利用你的优势，你就会成功，不管你是哪类人也不管你走得快还是走得慢。用and表顺承，故填and。
