【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：你的问题就像一个圆圈。你学习越努力，你就越少交朋友，而看起来你对你的同学不够友好。你的朋友越少，你越是努力学习会使你感觉更好。本文就尝试打破这个坏圈子给出了一些建议。

1.句意：你的朋友越少，你越是努力学习会使你感觉更好。本句主语为you，所以填写反身代词yourself。

2.句意：也许你害怕遇见新人，因为你太害羞或太严肃而不能开始对话。too + 形容词或副词+ to do sth太……而不能做某事，是一个固定句型，所以填写to begin。

3.句意：每个人的性格都有有趣的一面。此处表示每个人，所以填写Everyone。

4.句意：推开你害羞的一面，向你的同学展示你是多么的有趣。所填词与Push 相并列，所以填写原形动词show。

5.句意：努力找出是否或存在觉得和你有很多共同点的人。whether or not是一个常用搭配，所以填写whether。

6.句意：在课间或午休时间和同学交谈。表示在……之间，常用between，所以填写介词between。

7.句意：你会发现和孤独的人开始交谈更容易。find it to do sth是一个固定句型，所以填写it。

8.句意：你会发现和独处的人开始交谈更容易。所填词在句中作表语，表示单独的，所以填写形容词alone。

9.句意：你们班上的另外的人也一定是安静的。表示某时某处有某人某物常用There be句型，所以填写There。

10.先笑，谈未来，慢慢地你就会交朋友。所填词在句中修饰动词作状语，所以填写副词形式slowly。

考点：语法填空。
